Our story

Who We Are

AM Specialty Insurance Group is a unified family of excess & surplus insurance companies committed to sustainable underwriting profitability and long-term value creation. We bring together an E&S carrier, program administrators in the US and UK, a claims management company, and a reinsurance syndicate, all operating under common ownership with a shared vision.

Our integrated structure eliminates the silos that typically fragment specialty insurance. By aligning underwriting, claims, and reinsurance under one umbrella, we deliver seamless solutions and consistent excellence across every touchpoint. This isn't just operational efficiency, it's a strategic advantage that benefits our partners and drives superior results.

Our Mission

To deliver sustainable underwriting profit and innovative specialty solutions that create long-term value for our partners, clients, and stakeholders.

We measure success not by premium volume, but by disciplined risk selection, profitable growth, and the strength of our partnerships. Our mission guides every decision, from the risks we underwrite, to the claims we handle, to the reinsurance programs we structure.
