At Great American, targeted expertise is the force behind the specialized
products and services we offer. Our operations consist of 28 niche insurance
businesses, which are focused on serving the markets we know best. Targeted
expertise is, in fact, the driving force behind our business model and our
strategic direction. Our business model is founded on an entrepreneurial
approach that allows “local” decision making for underwriting, claims and policy servicing to each of our
niches. We are not interested in being all things to all people. That is why
our philosophy and approach is well aligned for program administrators who
specialize in target markets and program business.
We are willing to spend the time to understand the specialized nature of niche
operations within the industry. This is supported by an organizational
structure that is designed to provide responsive service to our accounts by
placing underwriting and claims decision making within each of our operating
divisions. We have learned since the founding of Great American Insurance
Company nearly 140 years ago that specialized expertise, strong distribution
relationships, and quality service to our policyholders produces long-term
success and meets the insurance needs of America’s specialized businesses.
Most importantly, Great American has the financial strength and stability that
our clients need and expect in these volatile times. Great American Insurance
Company is one of only four companies that have achieved an “A” (“Excellent”) rating from A.M. Best for over 100 consecutive years.* The Ward’s Group annually evaluates more than 3,000 property and casualty insurance
