CHARLOTTE, N.C., Nov. 7, 2024 ~ Amwins, a leading distributor of specialty insurance products and services, has once again proven its commitment to underwriting excellence by achieving AM Best's highest assessment score for its delegated underwriting authority enterprises (DUAEs) across the firm. This marks the third consecutive year that Amwins has secured the prestigious PA-1 rating.

Introduced in 2022, AM Best's Performance Assessment (PA) for Delegated Underwriting Authority Enterprises (DUAEs) is a comprehensive evaluation that takes into account both quantitative and qualitative aspects such as underwriting capabilities, governance and internal controls, financial health, organizational talent, and the breadth and depth of relationships. The PA scores range from PA-1, the highest, to PA-5, the lowest. Amwins is proud to be the only firm among AM Best's clients to have earned a PA-1 score.

Scott Purviance, chief executive officer at Amwins, expressed his pride in receiving AM Best's highest assessment once again. He attributed this achievement to the dedication and collaborative spirit that drives Amwins. With a robust underwriting portfolio of over $5.2 billion in premium volume, Amwins prides itself on its data-driven underwriting platform that allows them to provide customized solutions for their retail clients while also delivering appropriate returns for their carrier partners.
