The company concentrates on property and casualty insurance solutions and describes itself as a profitable and growing provider of E&S products tailored to the needs of small and mid-sized commercial clients.

According to AM Best, Ategrity and ASIC are domiciled in Wilmington, Delaware, and ASIL is domiciled in Hamilton, Bermuda. The holding company, Ategrity Specialty Insurance Company Holdings, is incorporated in Nevada and its common stock trades on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol ASIC.
Business focus and target market
Ategrity’s core business is providing E&S property and casualty coverage to small and medium-sized businesses. Earlier descriptions highlight a focus on sectors such as real estate, hospitality, construction and retail. The company emphasizes that the small to medium-sized business market is characterized by large volumes of small-sized policies, and it positions its operating model around serving this high-volume, smaller-ticket segment efficiently.
The company writes U.S. excess and surplus lines of business, with a portfolio that includes casualty and property lines. Its business mix has been shaped to reduce volatility and improve underwriting profitability, with particular attention to limiting property catastrophe risk. Ategrity’s filings and rating reports reference casualty and property segments, with casualty lines and property lines both contributing to gross written premiums.
Technology-driven underwriting model
Ategrity describes its operating model as a proprietary, technology-driven underwriting platform. The company states that it has built a platform that combines sophisticated data analytics with automated and streamlined processes. This approach is intended to support consistent, high-speed and low-touch interactions that its distribution partners value.
Ategrity refers to its approach as “productionized underwriting”. This model is described as standardizing, simplifying and automating the transaction process in E&S insurance. In public communications, Ategrity links productionized underwriting to segmentation, analytics-driven pricing, automation and disciplined risk selection. The company views this model as a way to enhance quote-to-bind efficiency, reduce frictional costs and support scalable growth in the E&S market.
Pre-priced and pre-underwritten solutions
Ategrity has developed a pre-priced platform under the Ategrity Select brand. One example is Ategrity Select Religious Organizations, a pre-priced solution for religious institutions in the United States. The company reports that it has pre-qualified and pre-priced more than 200,000 religious institutions for property and casualty coverage. Each institution in this dataset has been pre-analyzed and mapped for eligibility on Ategrity’s data-driven underwriting platform.
Through this platform, Ategrity states that small-business partners can generate quotes in as little as 90 seconds. The company presents this as an illustration of its productionized underwriting model, where automation, data science and disciplined pricing are combined to deliver differentiated E&S offerings. Ategrity’s communications describe each Ategrity Select solution as designed to deliver measurable underwriting leverage and to turn underwriting intelligence into distribution capacity.
Underwriting strategy and business profile
Ategrity’s public disclosures emphasize disciplined underwriting, pricing integrity and prudent risk selection. Management commentary in earnings releases highlights a focus on:
- Reducing volatility in the business and limiting exposure to property catastrophe risk.
- Shaping the portfolio toward areas with stronger underlying economics.
- Expanding casualty-related products and verticals while managing property exposure.
- Maintaining underwriting discipline even when market conditions change.
The company notes that it has taken deliberate actions to grow and shape its business, including pricing actions, catastrophe management and targeted reductions in certain exposures. It also references targeted micro-segments where it has developed expertise, though specific micro-segments beyond the religious organizations initiative are not detailed in the provided materials.
AM Best characterizes Ategrity’s business profile as limited but notes that the group has made significant business profile improvements over recent years. These improvements are associated with changes in management and strategy, as well as the use of technology-enabled underwriting approaches.
Financial strength and capital position
AM Best has affirmed the Financial Strength Rating of A- (Excellent) and the Long-Term Issuer Credit Ratings of “a-” (Excellent) for Ategrity Specialty Insurance Company and Ategrity Specialty Insurance Limited, and the Long-Term Issuer Credit Rating of “bbb-” (Good) for Ategrity Specialty Insurance Company Holdings. AM Best has revised the outlooks on these ratings to positive from stable.
According to AM Best, Ategrity’s balance sheet strength is assessed as very strong. The company’s risk-adjusted capitalization, as measured by Best’s Capital Adequacy Ratio (BCAR), is reported at the strongest level. AM Best notes that Ategrity’s capital levels have kept pace with increases in premium and loss volume, supported by regular capital contributions from the majority owner and the company’s initial public offering in June 2025.
Ategrity’s financial communications also highlight underwriting income, combined ratio metrics and net investment income as key indicators of performance. The company reports using non-GAAP measures such as underwriting income and adjusted net income attributable to stockholders to provide additional insight into underlying business performance. These measures exclude items that management does not consider indicative of core operations, including certain expenses related to the initial public offering.
Operating performance and investment results
Ategrity’s earnings releases describe a combination of premium growth, underwriting profitability and investment income. The company reports growth in gross written premiums in both casualty and property lines, with casualty lines showing particularly strong percentage increases over the periods described. Underwriting income and combined ratio figures are presented to illustrate improvements in loss and expense ratios.
On the investment side, Ategrity reports net investment income from fixed-maturity securities, short-term investments, cash equivalents, loans to affiliates and other investments. The company also discloses net realized and unrealized gains or losses on investments. Management commentary notes that the investment portfolio, including an alternative investment component referenced by AM Best, has contributed positively to overall results in the periods described.
Corporate structure and regulatory profile

The company is classified as an emerging growth company in its SEC filings. It files periodic and current reports, including Forms 8-K that cover earnings announcements and investor presentations. These filings provide additional detail on financial performance, non-GAAP measures and corporate activities related to its public listing.
Enterprise risk management and ratings perspective
AM Best’s commentary notes that Ategrity’s enterprise risk management (ERM) is considered appropriate for its risk profile. The company continues to enhance its ERM program, with the expectation that these enhancements will support continued stability in underwriting results. AM Best links the positive outlook on Ategrity’s ratings to improvements in underwriting performance, business mix and business profile over recent years.
Ategrity’s management has stated that its strategy is to combine disciplined underwriting with technology-enabled processes. The company associates this approach with improved underwriting metrics, lower expense ratios and emerging scale benefits from a centralized operating model. Public statements emphasize that growth initiatives are pursued with attention to pricing discipline and risk selection.
Position within the E&S insurance market
Ategrity positions itself within the E&S segment of the property and casualty insurance industry, with a specific focus on small and medium-sized businesses in the United States. Company communications describe the E&S market as under-digitized and present Ategrity’s productionized underwriting model and pre-priced platforms as responses to this environment.
Through initiatives like Ategrity Select Religious Organizations and its broader pre-priced platform, the company seeks to apply data analytics and automation to segments that it views as historically underinsured or underserved. The emphasis on pre-underwriting, eligibility mapping and rapid quote generation reflects Ategrity’s focus on operational efficiency and scalable distribution.
