Shepherd Programs

Our History

 Since the 1970's, our teams have offered carefully tailored niche programs and insurance products/solutions to the US and Canada.  

A Rated Paper, Top 50 Brokers in US, Consultative, and More.

A Few Of Our Partners

Carrier/Market Inquires

 We have places for all risk takers and models to participate in  profitability driven programs of diversification within the marketplace. 

Programs

  We provide specialized expertise for niche markets on behalf of insurance carriers as a Program Administrator (PA).  It’s impossible for carriers to underwrite risks in every field or continuously add staff to handle new programs.  We play an important role in addressing these needs. 

Front / Hybrid

With a pure reinsurance agreement, the self-insured or captive insurer retains the risk of loss.  Within our hybrid-fronting model, the primary carrier assumes a percentage of the risk, ranging from as low as 5% up to even 30% of the risk.

MGA

 We act sometimes as a MGA a specialized type of wholesale brokers where our market or insurance carriers grants us underwriting authority and trust.  

Reinsurance

 Our reinsurance partners participate by sharing risk taken by primary insurers.  

Captives

 Captives are essentially a form of self-insurance whereby the insurer is owned wholly by the insured.  We typically establish to meet the unique risk-management needs of the owners or members.
