Insurance Word of the Day

Insured

The “insured” is the person or entity covered by an insurance policy. They are the ones who receive financial protection or benefits in case of a covered event or loss.

Let’s say you have a homeowner’s insurance policy. In this case, you (the homeowner) are the insured. If your house sustains damage from a covered event, such as a fire, you (as the insured) will receive compensation from the insurance company to cover the repair costs.

South Carolina bars A-Cap insurers from writing new policies in 2025

January 1, 2025


South Carolina has barred Atlantic Coast Life Insurance Company and Southern Atlantic Re, Inc., both controlled by Advantage Capital Partners (A-Cap), from writing new business starting December 31, 2024.

This follows a similar order from Utah, where Sentinel Security Life Insurance Co. and two reinsurers were also prohibited from writing new business due to hazardous financial conditions. A-Cap disputes these claims, arguing that their valuations were validated by independent firms.
