Company Description
Global Indemnity Group, LLC (GBLI) is a publicly traded holding company for property and casualty insurance-related businesses. According to company disclosures, it oversees a diversified portfolio of specialty insurance and reinsurance operations, along with insurance-focused service and technology entities. The group’s activities are concentrated in the direct property and casualty insurance carriers industry within the broader finance and insurance sector.
Global Indemnity’s structure centers on two primary operating divisions: Katalyx Holdings LLC and Belmont Holdings GX, Inc. These divisions organize the group’s managing general agencies, technology and service businesses, and statutory insurance carriers into distinct but complementary platforms.
Katalyx Holdings and Agency/Service Businesses
Katalyx Holdings LLC includes a set of managing general agencies (MGAs) that focus on sourcing, underwriting, and servicing primary and reinsurance business. As described in company news releases, these MGAs are:
- Penn-America Insurance Services, LLC
- Valyn Re LLC, a reinsurance managing general agency
- J.H. Ferguson & Associates, LLC, which includes the Vacant Express division
- Collectibles Insurance Services, LLC
In addition, Katalyx Holdings includes specialized insurance product and service entities that support underwriting, distribution, and claims functions:
- Kaleidoscope Insurance Technologies, Inc., which develops proprietary underwriting and policy systems supporting Katalyx’s MGAs and broader digital initiatives
- Sayata, described by the company as an AI-enabled insurance marketplace and digital distribution platform for commercial insurance
- Liberty Insurance Adjustment Agency, Inc., which provides claims evaluation, adjustment, and related services
Through these entities, Global Indemnity participates in agency-based distribution, reinsurance intermediation, insurance technology development, and claims-related services. Company segment disclosures also reference an Agency and Insurance Services segment that generates commissions and fee income from these activities.
Belmont Holdings GX and Statutory Carriers
Belmont Holdings GX, Inc. contains Global Indemnity’s statutory insurance carriers. Company communications identify five U.S. insurance subsidiaries within this division:
- Penn-America Insurance Company
- United National Insurance Company
- Penn-Patriot Insurance Company
- Diamond State Insurance Company
- Penn-Star Insurance Company
These carriers are described in multiple releases and in an AM Best report as state-regulated insurance companies that participate in an intercompany pool and target specialty commercial business. AM Best has affirmed a Financial Strength Rating of A (Excellent) and a Long-Term Issuer Credit Rating of “a” (Excellent) for these operating subsidiaries, and a Long-Term Issuer Credit Rating of “bbb” (Good) for Global Indemnity Group, LLC itself. AM Best characterizes the group’s balance sheet strength as being at the strongest level, supported by risk-adjusted capitalization, a conservative investment portfolio, and generally prudent reserving practices.
Business Focus and Market Orientation
Company and rating-agency descriptions indicate that Global Indemnity focuses on commercial specialty property and casualty business, particularly for small- to middle-market customers and specialty niche risks that are generally not offered in the standard insurance marketplace. Historically, the group has written both admitted and non-admitted specialty property and casualty insurance coverages and individual policyholder coverages in the United States, as well as reinsurance business worldwide, and it has used wholesale and specialty distribution channels.
Recent segment data released by the company describe operations in several categories, including:
- Wholesale Commercial written through agency relationships
- Vacant Express, a division within J.H. Ferguson & Associates, LLC
- Collectibles insurance business
- Specialty Products within the agency platform
- Assumed Reinsurance written through Belmont Core and related reinsurance arrangements
Global Indemnity has also distinguished between core and non-core operations. Earlier disclosures referenced non-core lines that were de-emphasized or exited due to volatility, including catastrophe and secondary peril exposures. More recent communications and AM Best commentary emphasize a focus on core commercial specialty business and the reduction of exposure to more volatile non-core lines.
Strategic Reorganization and Growth Initiatives
In its public statements, Global Indemnity has described a strategic reorganization that created two independent operating divisions: Katalyx Holdings and Belmont Holdings GX. This reorganization aligns the group’s agency, technology, and service businesses under Katalyx, and its insurance carriers under Belmont. The company has also referenced multi-pronged initiatives, including a program described as Project Manifest, aimed at expanding capabilities across specialized insurance and reinsurance solutions.
Several recent developments illustrate this strategy:
- The launch of Valyn Re, a reinsurance MGA within Katalyx Holdings, in partnership with an experienced reinsurance executive
- The acquisition of Sayata, an AI-enabled digital distribution marketplace and agency operations for commercial insurance, by Penn-America Underwriters, LLC
- Ongoing growth in assumed reinsurance premiums and agency-produced direct written premiums in areas such as Wholesale Commercial, Vacant Express, and Collectibles, as reflected in the company’s quarterly financial disclosures
Through these actions, Global Indemnity has indicated an emphasis on specialty insurance and reinsurance products, technology-enabled distribution, and agency-based growth.
Financial Reporting and Segment Structure
Global Indemnity reports its results by segment, including Agency and Insurance Services, Belmont Core, and Belmont Non-Core, with eliminations to arrive at consolidated figures. Publicly released financial statements show:
- Gross and net written premiums, net earned premiums, and segment underwriting income
- Commissions and fee income from agency and service operations
- Net investment income and realized investment gains
- Combined ratios, loss ratios, and expense ratios for the insurance operations
These disclosures provide insight into the performance of the group’s specialty insurance and reinsurance activities, as well as the contribution of its agency and service businesses.
Exchange Listing and Corporate Form
Global Indemnity Group, LLC is organized as a limited liability company and is described in its filings as a publicly traded holding company. Its Class A Common Shares, no par value, have been listed on a national securities exchange under the symbol GBLI. In October 2025, the company announced that it would transfer the listing of its Class A Common Shares from the New York Stock Exchange to the Nasdaq Global Select Market, with trading on Nasdaq expected to begin under the same ticker symbol.
On November 3, 2025, Global Indemnity filed a Form 25 with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, indicating a voluntary withdrawal of its Class A Common Shares from listing and registration on the New York Stock Exchange pursuant to SEC Rule 12d2-2(c). The filing states that the company has complied with the rules of the exchange and the applicable SEC requirements for such a voluntary withdrawal. This filing relates specifically to the NYSE listing and does not, by itself, describe the status of the company’s listing on Nasdaq.
Credit Profile and Risk Management
AM Best’s rating commentary notes that Global Indemnity’s balance sheet strength is assessed at the strongest level, supported by risk-adjusted capitalization as measured by Best’s Capital Adequacy Ratio, a conservative investment portfolio, and prudent reserving. The group’s operating earnings have been described as generally comparable with peers over a multi-year period, with core commercial specialty business consistently profitable. AM Best also highlights that Global Indemnity is composed of long-standing franchises that write a diverse mix of specialty business through multiple distribution channels.
These external assessments, combined with the company’s own disclosures, indicate a focus on maintaining strong capitalization, disciplined underwriting, and a portfolio of specialty insurance and reinsurance risks managed through its carrier and agency platforms.
Dividends and Distributions
Global Indemnity has announced periodic distribution payments on its common shares. For example, company releases describe quarterly distributions approved by the Board of Directors, payable to shareholders of record as of specified dates. These distributions reflect the company’s practice of returning capital to common shareholders, subject to Board approval and applicable corporate and regulatory considerations.
Summary
In summary, Global Indemnity Group, LLC is a specialty-focused property and casualty insurance holding company that operates through a combination of statutory insurance carriers, managing general agencies, technology platforms, and claims and service entities. Its structure, centered on Katalyx Holdings and Belmont Holdings GX, supports specialty commercial insurance and reinsurance offerings, agency-driven distribution, and technology-enabled underwriting and policy administration.
