Allegiant Global Partners

What Allegiant Global Partners does

Allegiant Global Partners is a Boston-headquartered insurance brokerage and benefits consulting firm specializing in global health, welfare, and risk coverage for international NGOs, higher-education institutions, U.S. nonprofits, and for-profit international development organizations. The firm operates a service-led, consultative model rather than a software platform: its core offerings include Assistance and Security Consulting, Insurance Consulting, Benefit Consolidation, Local National Benefit Consolidation, Health and Welfare Coverage, and Underwriting Consultation, delivered by in-house underwriters whose team has underwritten over $1 billion in annual health insurance premiums across 25+ years of collective experience. The portfolio is anchored by the Humentum Association Plan, a Cigna-backed global health plan Allegiant has administered since 2009 and now serving roughly 300 INGO member organizations.

Allegiant earns revenue through commission-based insurance brokerage on policies placed with carriers and through fee-based consulting and advisory services such as insurance strategy, benefit consolidation, underwriting consultation, and assistance/security advisory work. Pricing is custom and quote-based, with annual billing cadence and documented client outcomes including a 20% cost reduction for one university and 24% savings on war risk coverage for another. Go-to-market is consultative, supported by industry conferences (URMIA, Forum on Education Abroad, Community Colleges for International Development), SHRM/HRCI-approved webinars, the Allegiant Chats video series, the annual International NGO Benefits Trend Report, and white papers on topics such as technology and benefit equity in African INGO operations. Offices are located in Boston (headquarters), Southington, Connecticut, and Nairobi, Kenya.

The firm's positioning rests on deep vertical specialization in INGO and higher-education risk, a non-commission-based service ethos emphasizing personalized teams, and proprietary benchmarking data through its Trend Report. The company maintains a near 100% client retention rate since inception and 99.5% retention over the past 15 years, and received a 2019 Humentum OpEx Honorable Mention Award for client advocacy. In May 2025, Allegiant was acquired by Hub International Limited to enhance Hub's global benefits capabilities, with the firm now operating as part of Hub's portfolio.
