Universal Insurance Holdings Inc
Universal Insurance Holdings is a property and casualty insurance company that focuses on residential insurance. Through its subsidiaries, it writes homeowners, dwelling fire, flood, and related policies, mainly for individuals and families who need protection for houses, condos, and rental properties. It also works with independent agents and managing general agents to reach customers in the markets it serves. The company makes money by collecting premiums up front and then paying claims when covered losses happen. It also earns investment income from the money it holds between collecting premiums and paying claims. Like other insurers, its business depends on pricing risk carefully, handling claims well, and keeping enough capital to cover future losses. What makes Universal different is that it is not a broad commercial insurer or a bank-like financial company; it is a focused residential insurer. Its role in the insurance chain is to take on homeowners and related property risk, package that protection into policies, and support a network of agents and service providers that sell and administer those policies.
