Once again, Demotech Inc., the official research partner of Insurance Journal, identified the nation’s Super Regional Property/Casualty Insurers — P/C insurers writing multiple lines of insurance in multiple states. Under the Demotech Company Classification System, Super Regional P/C Insurers™ include those companies meeting the following specific criteria:

  • Active, individual companies not under regulatory supervision at Dec. 31, 2011;
  • Reporting data to the National Association of Insurance Commissioners using the property/casualty annual statement format;
  • At least $1 million of direct premium written (DPW) in each of two to 34 states at Dec. 31, 2011;
  • Less than 90 percent of Dec. 31, 2011 DPW in any one state;
  • Less than 90 percent of Dec. 31, 2011 DPW in any one line of business;
  • Policyholders surplus of at least $100 million at Dec. 31, 2011;
  • Net premium written of at least $50 million at Dec. 31, 2011;
  • DPW of at least $25 million at Dec. 31, 2011.

In general, a Super Regional Property/Casualty Insurer™ is an individual company writing multiple lines of insurance in multiple states. Risk retention groups, surplus lines insurers and reinsurers are not eligible for the Super Regional category because they are assigned to other classifications.
