AmWins
Today’s builders’ risk marketplace is shaped by economic headwinds, regional disparities and a historic influx of capacity. Carriers are still exercising discipline, especially in catastrophe-exposed regions and for projects with unique complexities.
AIG will launch a new Lloyd's syndicate with Amwins and funds managed by Blackstone that will start underwriting on January 1, 2026, with $300 million of premium, the insurer said on Thursday.
The product recall market is facing increasing instability, industry professionals warn, as low demand, an influx of new entrants and declining prices challenge its ability to adapt to evolving needs.
The U.S. public entity insurance market is showing signs of softening as new capacity and competition continue to enter property programs, but Amwins warns that litigation trends, valuation uncertainty and tightening casualty capacity are tempering optimism.
Amid a rapidly maturing program space, Amwins is showing no signs of slowing down. The firm’s underwriting arm continues to make deliberate bets on MGAs that bring specialist expertise, sustainable growth and infrastructure worthy of scale, according to Amwins’ Ryan Armijo.
Amwins has launched a proprietary cyber insurance product to enhance coverage and stability for SMEs, the specialty insurance distributor said on Tuesday.
As the delegated underwriting authority market continues to grow, Amwins CEO Scott Purviance has warned that “not every MGA is created equal”.
Specialty insurance distributor Amwins has acquired Applied Risk Capital (ARC), a MGA focused on credit insurance for the leveraged finance market, the company said on Thursday.
The wholesale insurance market is no stranger to change, but few voices carry as much weight in navigating its twists and turns as Scott Purviance, CEO of Amwins. At WSIA 2025 in San Diego, Purviance made it clear that the specialty sector’s rapid evolution is not a threat to the wholesale model but an opportunity to double down on relationships, technology and disciplined execution.
Former Lloyd's executive Dawnmarie Black has joined Amwins as senior vice president, client relationship manager, according to her LinkedIn profile.
