Frequently asked questions
Is SelectQuote a family office or does it manage third-party capital?
SelectQuote is neither a family office nor an investment manager. It is a publicly traded insurance agency that generates revenue from carrier commissions on policies it places. The firm has never disclosed an investment portfolio, AUM, or a structure for managing external capital on a discretionary basis.
How does SelectQuote generate revenue?
Revenue comes almost entirely from insurance carrier commissions paid when a consumer purchases a policy through a SelectQuote licensed agent. Agents are not compensated differently based on which carrier is chosen, a practice the firm emphasizes to support its claim of unbiased policy comparison. The company does not earn revenue from asset management fees or investment returns.
What happened during SelectQuote's 2024 restructuring?
In September 2024, SelectQuote filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in a pre-packaged arrangement that cut roughly $750 million in debt. The restructuring transferred equity control to bondholders and was designed to reduce annual interest expense. The firm continues to operate its insurance-distribution lines and Medicare enrollment business as a restructured entity.
What insurance products does SelectQuote distribute?
SelectQuote distributes term life insurance, Medicare Advantage and Medicare Supplement plans, final-expense policies, and home-and-auto insurance. It represents a panel of over 50 rated carriers and operates separate agent divisions for its Senior, Life, and Auto & Home verticals. The firm does not underwrite any policies itself.
Where are SelectQuote's main operating locations?
Headquarters sit in Overland Park, Kansas, with additional sales and operations offices in Leawood, Kansas; Austin, Texas; Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania; and Chicago, Illinois. The geographic footprint reflects a call-center and agent-deployment model rather than an investment-office structure.
