About Us
Who We Are
Our partners deserve dependability, but our response is anything but uniform. We promote and nurture contrarian viewpoints, transparency, collaboration and consistent action, and combine it with our innovative proprietary data and technology capabilities. As risks change, our diverse product offerings and pricing responds in kind.
About Us
Culture
Tradition is important, but not when it means taking a fixed approach to every situation. We aim to disrupt, and that requires a different mindset.

We Focus on Innovative Thinking

Bureaucracy doesn’t exist. With over 150 employees at three offices and remote locations across the U.S., more than 20% of the firm is employee-owned. Everyone has a voice and the opportunity to make their mark.
