Target Insurance Services® is a managing general underwriter (MGU) and program administrator, headquartered in Avon, Connecticut that specializes in providing a wide range of insurance programs to niche markets. We work closely with agents and brokers, policyholders, carriers, and reinsurers to develop comprehensive programs that meet the specific needs of each market segment. Through our strategic working relationships with top-rated carriers and reinsurers, we are able to implement quality programs that provide value to all parties involved.

• Agents and brokers benefit from our carrier and reinsurer partnerships by providing their clients with a variety of programs to meet a diverse range of needs.
• Carriers and reinsurers can tap into an extensive distribution source, delivering products and services to a network of independent agents and brokers.
• Policyholders can feel confident that they have the necessary coverage in place for their unique risks—and that if a claim were to arise, they could rely on our nationwide panel of expert legal counsel.

All of Target Insurance Services' underwriters have extensive expertise and a strong record of developing policy forms and coverage at some of the most recognized and reputable insurance carriers. We employ underwriting managers that are among the best in the industry and as such, they underwrite multiple lines of coverage that includes: errors and omissions liability; employment practice liability; directors and officers liability; workers' compensation, umbrella; and fidelity crime.

Our underwriters work diligently to identify the special needs and expectations of each group, and also analyze coverage gaps, marketplace weaknesses, and claims and actuarial data that can affect policyholders' risks. Once we've gathered the appropriate information, we work to develop a program with underwriting and pricing strategies that address specific requirements related to that marketplace.

Our goal? To deliver outstanding service, the right insurance program, and bottom-line underwriting results.

One of our most distinctive advantages as an MGU is our dedicated, in-house third-party administrator — Target Professional Associates (TPA) — which retains a nationwide panel of legal experts to handle our professional liability program claims. By monitoring claims to identify patterns, TPA is able to resolve potential client exposures before they happen.

And because insurance claims can become costly endeavors — especially when there is no clear strategy for up front resolution — TPA has a simple claims-handling philosophy:

• Perform a prompt analysis of the claims situation to develop an effective claims-handling strategy.
• Resolve each claim as quickly as possible to control costs for all parties involved.

Target Insurance Services' professional liability and specialty insurance programs are developed in partnership with well-respected carriers and reinsurers. We are continuously expanding and upgrading our program capabilities to meet our customers' needs. We currently offer coverage for the following classes of business:

Accountants Home Inspectors Insurance Agents Lawyers Management Consultants Miscellaneous Professionals

Tax Preparers Temporary Staffing Firms, Executive Recruiters and Permanent Placement Agencies

In certain segments, we are able to offer coverage for hard-to-place risks. In all segments, our goal is to deliver excellent service and comprehensive coverage. Toward that end, we welcome the chance to provide complementary coverage and create new programs with our distribution partners, carriers, and reinsurers.

At Target Insurance Services, we firmly believe that operating with integrity and honesty allows us to deliver the best possible programs to our customers — programs that are:

• Well-crafted
• Grounded on expert risk analysis
• Accompanied by superior claims service
• Competitively priced
• Led by a team of experts who are not only committed to the business, but take decisive actions to support it.
