(Dallas, TX) – July 12, 2019 – CoVerica Agency Alliance, the Master Agency of SIAA for North Texas, announced at their 2019 ISM Membership Conference that they had paid out PMSF bonuses to their membership base of over 3.4 million dollars. This represents a 134% increase over last year’s PMSF figure.

PMSF is an acronym for Portfolio Management Service Fee and represents additional compensation paid to our independent agency members. It’s comprised of national, regional and local programs from our Strategic Partner Carriers for writing profitable business, hitting new growth milestones in addition to exceeding retention goals.

“This was nothing short of incredible,” said CoVerica Agency Alliance’s Chief Operating Officer, Chris Sterlacci. The COO later added, “Our members are focusing their production efforts to Strategic Partner Carriers because it’s simply a better policy for their clients. These carriers are offering incentives that allow our members to invest back into their agencies with better training and the ability to hire additional support staff, further insuring that the independent insurance model continues to be a viable channel of distribution for decades to come.”
