In recent months, Allstate has faced a lot of scrutiny for its price optimization. The company has increased rates for new policyholders after six months, and has announced that it will no longer offer Esurance insurance. In addition, the company is selling its headquarters to Dermody Properties. It is unclear whether this change will affect agents.
Allstate has received regulatory scrutiny over price optimization
Price optimization is a practice where insurers use factors unrelated to risk, such as consumer preferences, to determine what to charge for insurance. In doing so, insurers maximize profits. The practice is often used after insurers exhaust other, more traditional risk-based pricing methods. The Insurance Information Institute has stated that it is not inappropriate, but many states have banned the practice. Recently, Farmers was ordered to pay $52 million to California policyholders as a result of its use of price optimization.
The company has received regulatory scrutiny over its price optimization practice, which could lead to billions of dollars in fines. The company may have overcharged policyholders in California by as much as $1 billion over the last seven years, according to a report by Consumer Watchdog. This practice is prohibited by the state's Proposition 103, which was passed as part of an insurance reform law. The company could also face civil penalties of $5,000 to $10,000 per violation.

Allstate has increased rates after 6 months
Allstate has recently increased its rates on a number of its car insurance policies. The brand has implemented over $240 million in rate increases over the last two quarters. Earlier this month, the company announced a 25% increase in rates in Georgia. The new rates will go into effect for new customers on September 12 and for current ones on October 16.
While Allstate is a well-known insurance company, its rates are not the most affordable in our review. The company charges nearly 32% more than the national average for high coverage policies. Additionally, their rates are more than twice as much as those of its competitors, including Geico and USAA.

Allstate is phasing out Esurance
Allstate announced its plans to phase out Esurance agents in a news release, citing its "Transformative Growth Plan." This plan is meant to cut costs and focus on marketing under the Allstate brand. The company also plans to combine its home and auto insurance offerings, as well as personal liability, life, and product protection plans. The company also plans to centralize its customer service, advertising, and new business compensation processes.
The Esurance brand will be phased out by the end of next year, and Allstate will only sell policies online under the Allstate brand. The company acquired Esurance in 2011 for $1 billion in cash. Allstate says it will use the money saved to improve its overall product offerings and provide more personalized service for customers.

Allstate is selling its headquarters to Dermody Properties
Dermody Properties, a Reno, Nevada, industrial development company, has agreed to buy the Northbrook headquarters of Allstate. The company plans to redevelop the campus into 3.2 million square feet of industrial space and invest more than $500 million in the project. The deal could help Allstate lower its real estate expenses while advancing its Transformative Growth initiative.
Dermody plans to redevelop the Allstate campus into an office complex and logistics center that will help the company speed up product delivery to customers and businesses. It plans to build 11 industrial buildings on the site. The company hopes to complete at least one warehouse before the end of 2023.

Allstate's pending acquisition of National General
The pending acquisition of National General Holdings by Allstate could be a big boost to Allstate's earnings in the future. Under the deal, Allstate will gain a greater presence in the non-standard auto insurance market. The company will also benefit from the innovative technology platform National General has developed. This should increase customer satisfaction and make doing business with independent agents easier.
Allstate has announced that it is acquiring NationalGeneral Holdings for $4 billion. This deal will give Allstate a broader lineup of auto insurance products, including higher-risk auto insurance. National General will also provide Allstate with a strong technology platform. In addition to this, the acquisition of National General will also give Allstate access to a larger network of independent insurance agents. The deal will also result in significant cost synergies for Allstate.

Allstate's restructuring plans
In June, Allstate hinted that they would cut 3,800 jobs. An anonymous tipster posted the information online. Allstate's current plan closely matches the earlier warning. The tipster also mentioned that the company was planning to restructure its regional operations. Although the company has not confirmed the details of the plan, the reorganization plan does mean that the company plans to get rid of agents.
Allstate will eliminate the Esurance brand and consolidate its Encompass Insurance business, which sells auto and casualty insurance. However, it will keep the Allstate name for online policies, and continue to invest in technology and marketing.
