Vero Beach, FL – November 30, 2016 – Orchid Underwriters (“Orchid”), a leading provider of coastal excess & surplus (“E&S”), as well as High Net Worth personal lines, is pleased to announce a new partnership with National General Premier, a specialty personal lines insurance company designed to meet the needs of affluent customers.
National General Premier focuses on affluent insureds who may not meet the thresholds of other High Net Worth carriers, yet whose home values are too high for standard coverage. National General Premier provides coverage for homes valued from $750,000 to $10 million with guaranteed replacement costs and cash-out options. In addition to homeowners insurance, they are able to write personal umbrella limits up to $10 million, private collections coverage (jewelry, fine arts, furs, collectibles) and personal auto.
At the present time, National General Premier is offering its Premier product in New Jersey, New York, Connecticut, Michigan and California, with plans to expand that footprint significantly in 2017.
Tim deRosa, Executive Vice President for Orchid’s Specialty High Net Worth Division, is excited about the new opportunities available to Orchid agents through National General Premier. He commented, “I am very happy to welcome National General Premier at Orchid; it provides a unique solution to an underserved audience by bridging a gap in coverage.”
