Where ASIC is headed
Ategrity is the kind of business that gets mispriced when the market confuses cycle noise with structural change. The US excess and surplus lines market has roughly tripled since 2018 to over $130 billion in direct premiums, and the reason has nothing to do with hard markets. Admitted carriers keep walking away from risks they used to write, wildfire exposure in California, social inflation on commercial auto, construction defect liability, allied healthcare, and that business has to go somewhere. It goes to specialty underwriters like Ategrity who can rate and bind a custom commercial property risk in a hospitality account that State Farm or Travelers will not touch at any price.
