ShelterWind Launches a Groundbreaking Insurance Solution
Led by insurance industry leader Simon Hudson, ShelterWind is stepping up to offer brokers and agents a proactive, positive solution aimed at lightening the financial load on homeowners in areas vulnerable to storms. This initiative provides a way for property owners to safeguard their investments with enhanced coverage.
Introducing the All-Wind and Hail Deductible Buyback Policy
Today, ShelterWind unveiled a comprehensive all-wind and hail deductible buyback insurance policy, designed exclusively for homeowners with varying structural valuations, going up to an impressive $50 million. Backed by Certain Underwriters at Lloyd's, this standalone option has been tailored to support middle-market and high-value homeowners seamlessly.
Benefits of the Buyback Policy for Homeowners
Homeowners will find significant value in ShelterWind's deductible buyback policy. This insurance helps to greatly reduce the out-of-pocket deductible amounts that property owners must shoulder before their primary insurance intervenes to cover claims arising from wind-related disturbances, such as hurricanes, named storms, and hail.
The policy qualifies as an excess follow form, open across all 50 states, although it's particularly designed to cater to the needs of the 18 coastal, wind-prone states stretching from Texas all the way to Maine. It works hand-in-hand with existing residential and commercial coverages, providing both occurrence and aggregate coverage limits. This means property owners can enjoy protection against multiple wind-related incidents within a single policy term.
