Volume V, Issue V

Now that we're into the final quarter of the year, be on the lookout for the release of the 3rd Quarter Value Index, set to go out on Thursday. This month we want to highlight an editorial written by one of our Financial Analysts, Jeff Horner. He wrote about the effects interest rates have on purchasing power, how different interest rate types can affect agency cash flow, and what type of interest rate is the best fit for Allstate agency transactions.

There are multiple factors Allstate agency buyers look for when purchasing a book of business, and interest rates are at the top of that list. In the low-interest rate environment we have been in, buyers haven't had to worry much about their interest rates. However, we won't stay in a low-rate environment forever. How will this affect purchase price, and what interest rate type is best for buyers? Read the full editorial on Thursday's Value Index release!
