Stars
Digital direct channels (online + app)
In 2024 IAG’s direct-to-consumer funnels are scaling rapidly as buyer behavior tilts online, giving digital direct channels a high-growth, high-share Stars placement in core markets. Market leadership requires continued heavy investment in UX, first-party data platforms and paid performance to sustain rapid customer acquisition. Keep investing now to lock in leadership before growth normalizes and the curve flattens.
Embedded and partner distribution
Banks, retailers and platform tie-ups are expanding IAGs reach rapidly with relatively low friction, and in 2024 these channels accelerated client acquisition. IAGs brand gravity secures premium placements while the embedded distribution channel continues to grow. Success requires ongoing co-marketing and tight tech integration. Executed well, this becomes a repeatable engine that can graduate into a Cash Cow.
EV and connected-car motor bundles
EV sales surged ~40% in 2023 to about 14 million vehicles (roughly 13% of global new-car sales), and IAG’s ~25% share of Australian motor premiums gives it a head start in the EV and connected-car bundle market. Pricing sophistication, an extensive repair network and battery-risk underwriting know-how are clear competitive edges. The line still consumes cash to develop new rating models and specialist claims panels. Hold share now to capture improving margins as the segment matures.
Data-driven claims automation
Data-driven claims automation is a Stars play for IAG: fast digital claims drive higher NPS and retention while the instant-settlement market expands rapidly; IAG’s scale improves model training and reinforces share. It requires continuous capex in AI, fraud detection and workflow integration. Persisting converts operational edge into compounding cash.
- Focus: digital-first claims
- Needs: ongoing AI and fraud investment
- Outcome: scale → better models → higher retention
SME packaged insurance (growth niches)
SME packaged insurance is a Star for IAG as underinsured pockets in e‑commerce, healthcare and trades expand; Australia had about 3.57 million actively trading businesses at June 2024 (ABS). IAG can bundle property, liability and cyber‑light add‑ons across its SME brands to capture share, while remaining promo‑heavy with broker enablement, digital quoting and sector expertise. Maintain investment until niche growth plateaus, then harvest.
- Target niches: e‑comm, healthcare, trades
- Offerings: bundled property + liability + cyber‑light
- Go‑to‑market: broker enablement, digital quoting, sector specialists
- Strategy: maintain spend through growth, harvest on plateau
DTC & SME/EV stars: back UX, data & AI to win 3.57M + 14M
In 2024 IAG’s digital DTC funnels are Stars—rapid online buyer shift; invest in UX, first‑party data and paid performance to sustain acquisition. SME packaged insurance (3.57M active businesses at Jun 2024) and EV/connected‑car (EVs ~14M global 2023) are Stars but need capex in AI, claims automation and specialist underwriting to convert share into margins.
| Metric | 2024 | Implication |
|---|---|---|
| DTC growth | High | Scale via UX & data |
| SME market | 3.57M businesses | Bundle opportunity |
| EV market | ~14M (2023) | Underwrite & repair network |
| IAG motor share | ~25% AU | First‑mover edge |

Cash Cows
Home insurance (AU/NZ flagship brands)
Home insurance under IAG flagship brands sits on a large installed base with renewal rates around 75% and operates in a mature AU/NZ market. Scale provides underwriting depth and procurement leverage that lower unit costs. Promotion needs are steady rather than flashy. Ongoing pricing and claims-cost optimisation is key to milking dependable cash flows.
Traditional personal motor
Traditional personal motor is a big-book line with stable, aggregate frequency-severity curves and predictable claims patterns, supporting consistent underwriting discipline. Market growth is modest, around 2% p.a. in 2024, yet IAG’s share remains strong, making incremental efficiency gains more accretive than large strategic bets. Surplus cash from this cash cow is being directed to fund higher-growth initiatives across the group.
Commercial property and liability packages
Established SMEs with conventional risks buy and renew reliably; SMEs account for 98% of Australian businesses (ABS 2024). Competition is rational and growth is low, yet disciplined underwriting keeps margins while placement spend via brokers and direct remains moderate. Invest in claims and underwriting tooling to shave loss ratios a few percentage points and print cash.
Workers’ compensation and statutory lines (select portfolios)
Workers’ compensation and statutory lines are regulated, mature and operationally intensive, yet IAG’s scale and technical know-how yield steady returns; in 2024 these portfolios remained entrenched where IAG participates and show capped growth. Focus is on claims-management excellence, not splashy marketing, producing disciplined cash generation.
- 2024: regulated, mature, scale-driven cash cow; claims excellence over marketing
Rural and farm packages
Rural and farm packages sit in IAGs BCG Cash Cows: long-tenure customers and strong policy loyalty keep retention high, while stable distributor networks ensure steady premium flows. Known, modelable exposures mean modest ongoing investment in risk engineering and pricing preserves margin without heavy capital spend. These portfolios generated reliable underwriting cash through FY24, funding strategic growth bets elsewhere.
- Long-tenure customers
- Stable distribution
- Known exposures
- Modest risk engineering spend
- Reliable cash for investments
Stable portfolios deliver ~75% renewals and cash-funded FY24 growth
Home, motor, SME, workers’ comp and rural portfolios deliver steady renewals (~75%), predictable claims and low growth (motor ~2% p.a. in 2024), enabling low-cost underwriting and cash generation that funded FY24 growth initiatives.
| Metric | 2024 |
|---|---|
| Renewal rate | ~75% |
| Motor market growth | ~2% p.a. |
| SME share (AU businesses) | 98% (ABS 2024) |
