Quadrant’s Agents & Brokers Professional Liability products include an insolvency exclusion carveback for carriers rated A or higher by Demotech, Inc. Other carriers below our AM Best “A-” threshold can be considered on an individual basis.

Why do we include Demotech rated carriers in our insolvency carveback? We met with Demotech’s principals and reviewed the company’s history, objectives and track record. We were impressed and chose to include Demotech rated carriers in our Agents & Brokers Professional Liability insolvency exclusion carveback as much as possible.

Demotech is a financial analysis firm and since 1985 has provided Financial Stability Ratings® (FSRs) for Property & Casualty insurance companies and Title underwriters. Demotech assesses solvency based upon a company’s financial stability as manifested in an insurer’s statutory financials. FSRs are based upon a series of quantitative ratios and considerations which together comprise Demotech’s Financial Stability Analysis Model.
