Aon should continue to expand margins, while organic growth remains resilient, aided by its scale, restructuring savings and Aon Business Services operating model. Since 2020, broker results have benefited from cost actions and operating leverage, firm P&C pricing, strong exposure growth and, more recently, higher fiduciary income. Those tailwinds are fading and comparisons are tougher, reducing upside to organic gains and margins across the group.

For more, Carol Massar and Tim Stenovec speak with Edmund Reese, CFO at AON
