INTERESTING;


IAG today announced it had agreed to purchase the insurance underwriting businesses of Wesfarmers Limited for $1.845 billion, strengthening its position in its home markets of Australia and New Zealand. The acquisition comprises Wesfarmers underwriting companies trading under the WFI and Lumley Insurance brands, as well as a ten-year distribution agreement with Coles.

 Why does it sound incestuous?

IAG have no other connection to Wesfarmers.

My concern is that Coles insurance, which has been up to 40% cheaper than IAG's NRMA insurance will soon be just as expensive.

There goes the competition.

They're not the only ones. Suncorp now own AAMI, Apia, Just Car Insurance, Shannons, InsureMyRide, Vero, Terri Scheer, Bingle, CIL, Asteron and Tyndall insurance brands in Australia, plus more in NZ. 

Competition? It's an illusionno

 You missed GIO, AMP and Promina plus their underwritings of the RACQ and RAA motor club insurances in that Suncorp list.

 What competition are you referring to? IAG  buys another competitor IMHO this is LESS competition.
