Our Focus
Getting to the summit together
ASIC caters to the primary program insurance business segment of the U.S. domestic market. We focus on primary domestic insurance business in the Commercial Specialty class. This business is written by third-party program administrators, tends to be written with a very low limit utilization (usually with a combined single limit between $1m- $2m), and is well geographically spread and non-NAT CAT exposed.
ASIC trades exclusively in lines of business with no legacy loss exposure. As a non admitted carrier, we can be flexible with coverage and evaluate firms on their individual merit (not just historical performance). At ASIC, our underwriters are empowered to utilize their own experience and expertise to make decisions. We trust our underwriting capabilities, which leads to optimal pricing and appropriate coverage.
