Principles
1. Our insurance carriers' and clients' interests always come first. Our experience shows that if we serve them well, our own success will follow.
2. Our assets are our people, insurance carriers and reputation. If any of these is ever diminished, the last is the most difficult to restore. We are dedicated to complying fully with the letter and spirit of the laws, rules and ethical principles that govern us. Our continued success depends upon unwavering adherence to this standard.
3. Our goal is to provide superior underwriting profits to our insurance carriers. Profitability is critical to establishing long-term relationships between our carriers and clients. Significant stock ownership aligns the interests of our people with the success of our carriers and clients.
4. We take great pride in the professional quality of our work. We have an uncompromising determination to achieve excellence in everything we undertake.
5. We stress creativity and imagination in everything we do. While recognizing that traditional methods may work the best, we constantly strive to find a better solution to a client's problems.
6. We know that without the best people and underwriting partners, we cannot be the best firm.
7. We stress teamwork in everything we do. While individual creativity is always encouraged, we have found that team effort often produces the best results. We have no room for those who put their personal interests of the firm and its clients.
8. We want to be big enough to undertake the largest project that any of our clients could contemplate, yet small enough to maintain the loyalty and camaraderie that we treasure and that contribute greatly to our success.
9. We regularly receive confidential information as part of our normal client relationships. To breach a confidence or to use confidential information improperly or carelessly would be unthinkable.
10. Integrity and honesty are at the heart of our business. We maintain high ethical standards in everything we do, both in our work for the firm and in our personal lives.
