Scottsdale, AZ, March 13, 2015 – Nautilus Insurance Group, comprised of Nautilus Insurance Company (“Nautilus”) and Great Divide Insurance Company (“Great Divide”), member companies of W. R. Berkley Corporation, has announced several enhancements to its Commercial Excess product.
These enhancements give the Group’s appointed agents additional underwriting authority over hundreds of new classes of business, the ability to write excess over other carriers that are rated A- (Excellent), Financial Size Category V or better by A.M. Best Company in any state in which the agent is licensed, and the authority to provide up to $10 million in limits on select classes. In addition, agents will enjoy the benefits of a streamlined submission process.
