Aon has unveiled plans to launch Aon Digital Placement Exchange (Aon DPX), a new digital trading platform that will modernise Follow Line business placement in the London Market by using structured data and algorithmic trading to connect brokers, capital and risk more efficiently.
The platform is scheduled to go live for U.S. Property risks in the second half of 2026.
Aon explained that it will allow insurers to digitally express and deploy their underwriting appetite, helping accelerate execution, improve placement consistency, reduce friction across the placement lifecycle, and deliver more predictable outcomes for both brokers and clients.
Joe Peiser, CEO of Risk Capital for Aon, commented, “The way Follow Line business has been placed has not kept pace with the scale and complexity of today’s risks.
“Aon DPX introduces a more efficient and data-driven approach to connecting risk and capital aimed at giving clients greater clarity, choice and control.”
Aon DPX is expected to integrate with Aon Broker Copilot, Aon’s integrated placement, analytics and broking technology, embedding digital trading into brokers’ workflows to support more consistent execution and access to capacity.
DPX is built on Aon-designed logic and configurable parameters that reportedly allow insurers to articulate their view of risk digitally.
Aon continued, “Each participating carrier retains full control over how their underwriting appetite is defined and deployed, with no visibility by Aon into individual appetite positions. Supported by advanced trading analytics, Aon DPX will be a useful tool to help insurers improve their competitiveness and service as client needs and market conditions evolve.”
Clyde Bernstein, global lead of Aon Broker Copilot and Aon DPX, concluded, “Aon DPX offers a progressive way for insurers to retain control of their view of risk and underwriting strategy while delivering a fast and sustainable model for the deployment of capital.”
