Ideal accounts and appetite Municipalities (cities, towns, counties) Public schools and higher education institutions Special districts and service authorities Public housing authorities and municipal utilities Pools and joint powers authorities seeking programmatic solutions You should consider these programs when your client needs higher capacity, layered solutions, or specialized terms crafted for public entities that standard commercial markets struggle to accommodate. Coverage highlights and advantages Public Entity Property: Up to $50M capacity per risk; administered by ASCS and written by a non-admitted carrier; excess follow-form; no TIV cap. Note: unable to participate on lead/primary layers.

It is designed to centralize administration for multi-client PEO policies.
