Each card carries a disclosed-size chip (HIGH / MEDIUM / LOW — how large the exposure is as a share of revenue, not how dangerous it is) and a nature tag: Built-in(the company’s own model, geography, or products) or Outside party (an external customer, supplier, or distributor it relies on).
“10-K Item 1: 'For the year ended December 31, 2025, 78% of the total premiums we placed were in the E&S market.'”
“10-K Item 1A: 'The top five retail brokers with which we place business represented 25.2% and 26.9% of our revenues for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.'”
“10-K Item 1A: 'The top five insurance carriers (excluding all Lloyd's syndicates combined) for which we place business represented an aggregate of 20.6% and 20.9% of our revenues'”
The company's concentration profile is anchored by a high-share product orientation toward the excess and surplus lines market, with moderate customer and carrier concentrations layered underneath. For the year ended December 31, 2025, 78% of total premiums placed were in the E&S market — a high share by disclosed size and structural in character, reflecting a deliberate positioning in the specialty insurance segment where standard admitted carriers typically do not compete. This concentration is a defining feature of the business model rather than an idiosyncratic dependency, and its direction is stable given the intentional focus on non-standard and complex risks. At the distribution level, the top five retail brokers with which business is placed represented 25.2% of revenues for the year ended December 31, 2025 — a medium-share, dependency-type exposure. While the company is a wholesale intermediary, it relies on retail brokers to generate submissions, meaning the volume of business flowing through the top five relationships matters for revenue. At the carrier level, the top five insurance carriers (excluding all Lloyd's syndicates combined) represented 20.6% of revenues — a low-share dependency, indicating the carrier panel is reasonably diversified and no single underwriter absorbs a dominant share of placed business. Together the profile is coherent: a high-share E&S specialty orientation sits atop a moderate broker concentration and a relatively diffuse carrier panel. The dominant risk is that market conditions shift the relative attractiveness of E&S versus admitted insurance, compressing the addressable volume for the company's specialty focus.
