What Marsh McLennan does

World's largest insurance broker, also providing risk consulting, reinsurance broking and HR/benefits consulting.

Takes no insurance risk: it is paid commissions by insurers and fees by clients for placing cover, while Mercer and Oliver Wyman earn consulting fees. Broking income tends to rise when insurance prices rise. It added scale by buying UK broker Jardine Lloyd Thompson in 2019.
