Joseph L. Petrelli, ACAS, ASA, MAAA, MBA, President and Co-founder, noted that "Our focus on regional and specialty insurers, their business model, execution of their business, including the complementary nature of the quality and quantity of reinsurance they purchase has facilitated the growth of our industry. Whether by customizing catastrophe modeling, harnessing the latest evaluation technology or recognizing the value of technological advances in structural hardening, resilience or loss mitigation, the carriers that we review and rate have protected homes and properties in catastrophe prone markets."

"Their residence is often the largest asset owned by an insured of the carriers we review and rate. They must protect that important asset for themselves as well as to secure a mortgage. Importantly, the real estate taxes on their residence also provide a primary source of resources for schools, fire departments and other community services. We are pleased to know that the innovative, heavily reinsured carriers that we rate are protecting more than properties and people. By protecting the properties comprising the tax base of local districts; they are protecting the funding of education, fire safety and other essential services," Petrelli concluded.
