Treasury Increases Main Street America’s Surety Bond Capacity to $93.4 Million
Insurance Journal, September 2015
The U.S. Department of the Treasury has raised The Main Street America Group’s NGM Insurance Company’s single surety bond capacity threshold to $93.4 million. The Jacksonville, Fla.-based super-regional property/casualty insurance carrier’s previous capacity was $90.5 million.
According to a statement from Main Street America, The Treasury Department’s expansion of Main Street’s surety bond capacity reflects the company’s strong financial position which includes surplus of $1.04 billion, total assets of $2.4 billion and net written premium of nearly $1 billion. Additionally, global rating agency A.M. Best recently affirmed Main Street America’s “A” (Excellent) Financial Strength Rating and “a+” Issuer Credit Rating, with a Stable Outlook.
“The Main Street America Group is well established as a stable and consistent partner to independent insurance agents and their customers,” said Brian Beggs, vice president/head of Main Street America’s bonds operation. “Our increased U.S. Treasury bond capacity, as well as A.M. Best’s recent affirmation of our strong financial ratings, is a direct result of Main Street America’s disciplined focus on sustainable, profitable growth with our independent agent partners.”
Main Street America has provided surety and fidelity products to “main street” businesses and individuals since 1961 through its network of independent insurance agents and is licensed to issue surety and fidelity products in 47 states and the District of Columbia. This includes the recent expansion of its surety business into Louisiana and Mississippi. Main Street America’s surety operations complement the company’s commercial and personal insurance business to provide a full line of protection products for individuals, families and businesses nationwide.
Main Street America’s surety bond offerings include:
– Contract surety bonds
