Assurex Global

What Assurex Global does

Assurex Global, founded in 1954 and headquartered in Dublin, Ohio, operates as an exclusive partnership network of independent commercial insurance, risk management, and employee benefits brokerage firms. The organization aggregates 100+ partner firms operating across 730+ offices on six continents, employing 30,700+ professionals globally, and is described as the world's largest privately held commercial insurance brokerage group. Partner firms retain operational independence while gaining access to multinational clients and coordinated cross-border service delivery.

The partnership's core offering is the network itself: a coordination layer that enables member brokers to serve multinational clients requiring commercial insurance, risk management, and employee benefits brokerage across multiple jurisdictions. Assurex Global also operates three wholly-owned subsidiaries — AG London (London market brokerage), E&O Plus (errors and omissions insurance program for brokers), and Indium (an insurance technology platform) — plus a Community Portal (Microsoft OAuth single sign-on) for partner collaboration. Revenue is generated through commissions and fees from insurance placement and brokerage services delivered by partner firms; pricing is determined via individual client negotiations with carriers and is not publicly disclosed. The go-to-market motion is exclusively channel-based: enterprise multinational clients are served through the network of independent partner firms, with no direct consumer or digital distribution channel.
