Prime only writes excess and surplus lines insurance. Surplus lines, or “non-admitted” specialty or excess lines, represents one of two divisions of the property and casualty insurance market, the other being the “admitted” or the standard market. The excess and surplus market exceeds $25 billion in the U.S., which amounts to less than 8% of the entire U.S. property and casualty marketplace of over $300 billion annually.
The surplus lines, non-admitted, market is not subject to the strict pricing and form regulations applicable to the admitted insurance market, allowing Prime to specifically tailor insurance contracts for its customers. The excess and surplus market is best defined and recognized as the market dominated by Lloyd’s of London. |
