Special Section Sponsored by Target Markets Program Administrators Association Alliant Specialty Insurance Services, Inc. Alliant Specialty Insurance Services, Inc. (ASIS), continues to evolve as an operation designed to provide the “Unfair Advantage” in specialty program distribution. With its headquarters in San Diego, California, and several satellite offices, ASIS has program underwriting and distribution facilities in several niches, including public entities, Indian nations, and several commercial sectors. Alliant Specialty is a program focus point for parent organization Alliant Insurance Services, Inc., the premier specialty insurance broker and ranking among the 15 largest insurance brokerage firms in the U.S. According to Alliant CEO Tom Corbett, ASIS will emerge as one of the premier program administrators by providing advantaged, program-based risk solutions for the middle market. Alliant Specialty currently has several programs in place, including its Public Entity Property Insurance Program (PEPIP), three Indian nation-related programs (property, casualty and workers compensation), the newly launched Parking Program (which features integration of risk management, loss control, human resources, claims management and review of contracts), the Waste Haulers Insurance Program, the Hospital All Risk Property Program (HARPP), and public entity-related casualty programs. In addition, ASIS distributes and performs underwriting consultation for developing programs including: golf courses, public entity pools, energy, death care facilities, self-insurance groups, nonprofits and pollution. The ASIS “Unfair Advantage” began with the PEPIP program, which started with 13 public entity buyers in California. PEPIP is a joint purchase group of insureds, now believed to be the single largest property placement in the world. The program members tend to be cities, states, schools, universities, hospitals and/or special districts. With a dedicated ASIS underwriting staff specializing in public entity, and limiting distribution only to retail brokers that are experts in public entities, PEPIP offers public entities the best program product available. The Tribal First programs make ASIS the largest provider of insurance to Indian nations, according to Sean McConlogue, ASIS president and founder of the Tribal First programs. Tribal First is the recognized industry leader in providing coverage to sovereign tribal nations, providing complete tribal insurance solutions through its nationwide broker network. Deeply involved in the community they serve, the Tribal First operation believes in “recognizing the past, while improving the future.” Alliant Specialty’s Waste Haulers Insurance Program provides a package of insurance covering autos, general liability and properties. This program is distributed by retail insurance brokers who are committed to the refuse and recycling industry. Alliant Specialty’s refuse haulers program is available in the western states and Florida. Eligible classes include refuse haulers, roll offs, transfer stations, material recovery facilities (MRFs), and recycling. This program is supported by a pollution program, providing full spectrum solutions for environmental industries. Kathy Phillips, manager of the newest program administration offering at Alliant Specialty for the parking industry (self parking, valet, and special events parking companies nationwide) is enthusiastic about membership in the Target Markets Program Administrators Association. “It is tremendously advantageous to have an association that is focused on niche marketing and program administration. The members, including carriers, start out on the same wave length, making our time together very productive.” → |
