NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Everspan Group, Rated A- (Excellent) by AM Best, today announced a partnership with Specialty Program Group, LLC (SPG), a leading operator of specialty insurance brokerage firms and underwriting facilities. Everspan will support SPG’s newly launched habitational excess casualty program, HABX.

HABX addresses a gap in coverage for owners of commercial residential properties such as apartment buildings, condominiums, and multi-unit dwellings. Typically, primary insurers offer a limit of $1 million per occurrence for habitational insurance coverage, and excess casualty insurers set attachment points at $2 million. To bridge that gap, HABX offers $1 million in coverage in excess of a $1 million primary limit.

“HABX fills a void in the market,” said Steve Dresner, Chief Underwriting and Reinsurance Officer for Everspan Group. “It is a unique product underwritten by a stellar team. That makes it a perfect fit for Everspan, which places a high value on strong underwriting. We are thrilled to partner with SPG on this program.

The HABX program is led by Derek Schiavone and underwritten by Specialty Underwriting Insurance Solutions (SUIS), which operates as a subsidiary of SPG.

“We are happy to partner with Everspan to deliver HABX, a unique product that solves an important piece of the insurance puzzle for the largest, most respected habitational owners in the US,” Schiavone said.

HABX is available nationwide.
