Economy Takes Toll on Gallagher
Softening insurance rates and an accelerating economic downturn led insurance brokerage firm Arthur J. Gallagher AJG to post weak fourth-quarter results Tuesday. Gallagher's mix of service offerings includes a relatively large share of payroll-based businesses, which tends to make it more economically sensitive than other publicly traded brokers. Gallagher's internal revenue (excluding acquisitions) declined 4% in the fourth quarter, after a 2% decline in the third quarter.
