American Global

What American Global does

American Global is a privately held insurance and surety brokerage firm specializing exclusively in construction risk management for contractors, owners, and developers. The company is described as one of the largest privately held insurance and surety brokerage firms in North America and has been operating for more than a decade. It offers an integrated product portfolio spanning surety bonds, insurance, captive insurance, project solutions, subcontractor default insurance (SDI), alternative project delivery (P3 and design-build), claims management, risk engineering, and supply chain management. These offerings function as a unified construction risk management platform supporting clients across the entire project lifecycle.

The firm generates revenue through commissions and fees earned by placing insurance coverage and surety bonds, acting as intermediary between construction clients and insurers. Its go-to-market is enterprise field sales targeting construction companies directly, supported by a physical footprint of more than 10 US offices, Canadian offices in three provinces, and a European headquarters in Rome, with active business placement in the United States, Canada, Europe, and Latin America. A 200+ global employee base collaborates across geographies to deliver multi-jurisdiction coverage.

American Global has begun to extend beyond pure brokerage through its subsidiary AGII (American Global Insurance Inc.), a tribal insurance company under Modoc Nation writing healthcare indemnity insurance for small to medium-sized employers under ERISA. A quota share reinsurance partnership with Lloyd's of London Syndicates, effective January 1, 2026, gives AGI access to Lloyd's underwriting capacity on medical health indemnity risks. The company has received the Business Insurance Magazine Award consecutively from 2020 through 2025 and the P3 Award for Insurance Risk Advisor of the Year in both 2023 and 2025, supporting its market positioning. No public funding rounds, ownership disclosures, or financial statements are available in the source data.
