Apex is an Excess & Surplus Line—Alternative Risk Transfer method to insure non-traditional business risks, particularly those risks that are typically self-insured (or are unavailable or too costly in the commercial market), on a cash flow efficient basis.

 

Apex is a proven approach to alternative risk insurance underwriting. The fully integrated insurance arrangement is a composite of the benefits of alternative risk transfer, traditional P&C underwriting, and premium financing, which in turn creates a more efficient non-traditional business risk insurance model. 

 

What is Apex?

 

Not your typical P&C cover.

Apex is different than traditional P&C line insurance in three important ways:

 

->Apex provides for a 90% return of earned premium based on underwriting experience;

 

->Lines of coverage provided through Apex are for typically self-insured risks or risks that are too expensive or otherwise unavailable commercially; and

 

-> Apex offers the ability to lower premium funding levels by financing a majority of non-traditional risk insurance premiums.

Apex is different from other Alternative Risk Transfer structures:

 

Since Apex returns up to 90% of earned premium and requires only a minimum cash outlay, businesses can operate more efficiently with substantially increased cash flow covering non-traditional business risk.

 

Here's How Apex Stands-Out:

 

-> No capital requirement

-> No startup, no ongoing expenses 

-> Premium financing available   

-> No limitation on coverage amounts 

-> Only one year of coverage required

 

 

Get all the benefits. 

A few benefits of the innovative Excess & Surplus (E&S) market include:

 

-> Standard Market Alternative: E&S carriers willing to accept coverage when the standard market declines the risk.

 

-> Market Acceptance of Risk: E&S carriers willing to accept unfamiliar business risks at competitive rates. 

 

-> Anticipation of New Risks: E&S carriers develop new products, provide alternatives in the market and offer a method to secure cover for unique risk exposures.

 

-> Risk Pricing: E&S carriers develop premium for unique and large risks, sometimes with limited historical loss data.

 

->Tailored Solutions: E&S carriers offer flexibility to tailor coverages to meet the needs of policyholders within their overall risk management plan. 

 

Over 80% of Fortune 500 firms use ART

Some distinguishing characteristics of Alternative Risk Transfer (ART), as compared to traditional insurance or a pure insurance contract, may include, but are not limited to:

 

-> Earned premiums are typically retained by the premium payor. 

 

-> Insured has the opportunity to engage in a unique, customized and individual underwriting, i.e., lines of coverage will vary depending on types of risk to which a business may be exposed. 

 

->Insured has access to coverage for risks the conventional insurance market may consider uninsurable or too costly to insure through traditional methods.
