Berkley One

What Berkley One does

Berkley One is a U.S. personal-lines insurance provider focused on high-net-worth individuals and families. Founded in 2017 as a member company of W. R. Berkley Corporation (NYSE: WRB) and headquartered in Morristown, New Jersey, the company serves affluent clients whose assets fall outside the appetite of standard personal-lines carriers, including homes valued above $2 million, collector vehicles, fine art, jewelry, wine, and watercraft. The product portfolio is organized into six core lines: Dwell (home, condo, rental), Steer (autos, collector vehicles, recreational vehicles), Collect (fine art, jewelry, wine, other collectibles), Secure (excess liability), Navigate (watercraft), and Cruise (collector vehicles), with the Berkley One Classics sub-brand carrying 50 years of collector-vehicle underwriting heritage and serving as the dedicated specialty vehicle line.

The operating model is a hybrid human-and-digital insurance platform. Customers can request quotes directly through the website or be served by curated independent insurance agents, who must carry $5 million in Errors & Omissions coverage and commit to $500,000 in written premium in their first 12 to 15 months. Existing policyholders self-serve through the my.berkleyone.com portal for account management, billing, and claims reporting. Claims experience is differentiated by the PlusOne Service Network, a directory of vetted and insured contractors who handle repairs and proactive installations, and by the CyberScout partnership that layers identity management services onto the policy. The company has progressively expanded its state footprint since launch in Illinois, adding more than 15 states by 2025 (Arizona, Colorado, Nevada, Idaho, Connecticut, Michigan, Georgia, Pennsylvania, New York, and others) and has indicated ongoing nationwide expansion. International reach is limited to distribution through BizCover's aggregation platform in Australia.

Berkley One monetizes through recurring insurance premiums on subscription-based annual policies, with pricing tailored to each client's assets and risk profile. Revenue is not separately disclosed; the company operates as a privately held subsidiary within W. R. Berkley Corporation's consolidated reporting. Beyond standard premium income, the business model emphasizes customer retention through lifestyle-aligned coverage (drone liability, museum loans, collector cars) and value-added services, while growing distribution through selective agent partnerships and a direct-to-consumer quoting funnel.
