Hedge’s take

Paragon Specialty Property is worth investigating for a midsize or larger property schedule, especially when catastrophe exposure or a shared placement drives the problem. Its published appetite spans soft occupancies and industrial risks, so the account’s values, perils and layer structure need to be clear.

The detail that can change the fit

Advertised net or treaty capacity is not the amount automatically offered on an account. Ask what line, peril limits, deductibles and participation are actually available for the schedule.

Beyond the product list

What stands out, and why it matters.

The layer is part of the submission, not a later detail.

Paragon describes expertise in layered and shared commercial property placements. [1]

Show the intended tower, attachment and participating markets. Compare the quoted layer with the program as a whole, including how losses and deductibles affect attachment and available recovery.

A mixed property schedule needs a location-level story.

Its stated appetite includes hospitality, habitational, public-entity, retail and industrial occupancies. [1]

Provide each location’s actual occupancy and values rather than one blended description. Catastrophe concentration and protection can differ sharply across a schedule and affect the terms offered.

Equipment breakdown and income require explicit values.

The product offering includes equipment breakdown within commercial property. [1]

Identify critical machinery and service dependencies, replacement times and business-income assumptions. Ask how the proposal treats interruption after equipment failure and whether the relevant limits and periods meet the need.

Published scope

The product facts behind the view.

  • Paragon Specialty Property describes nonadmitted property underwriting for midsize and larger accounts, including layered, shared and catastrophe-exposed placements. [1]
  • The published appetite identifies apartments, hotels, motels, public entities, real-estate schedules, offices and retail. [1]
  • Food and beverage facilities, industrial processing and manufacturing are also named, with equipment breakdown included in the product offering. [1]
  • The page advertises net and treaty capacity; that figure is not a stated per-account quote or guaranteed line size. [1]

Pressure-test the proposal

Questions to resolve before binding.

Use these illustrative scenarios to review a proposal. They are questions to ask, not statements that a loss is covered.

A hurricane damages several scheduled properties

How do catastrophe limits, deductibles and the quoted layer apply across the accumulation? Review the entire shared placement, not one insurer’s headline capacity.

A manufacturing plant loses a critical machine

Does equipment breakdown respond to the cause, and how is resulting interruption addressed? Compare repair time with the proposed indemnity period.

A quoted layer attaches above a high deductible

Who bears the amounts below attachment, and how is exhaustion established? Check that the structure aligns with the other participating policies.

Put the account in motion

A better submission starts here.

Hedge’s preparation guidance for this placement:

  • Provide a complete statement of values, construction, occupancy, protection, exposures and requested perils.
  • Identify the requested layer, attachment, limits, deductible and any other participating markets.
  • Explain catastrophe accumulations, business-income values, equipment dependencies and significant prior losses.

Include the named insured, locations, requested lines and limits, effective date, existing applications and available loss information. Start with what you have; we can identify what is missing.

Does this profile confirm my account is eligible?

The published specialties are a starting point. State, business activity, loss history, requested coverage, limits and effective date can change eligibility. The sources used here do not provide a complete state-by-product matrix. The actual proposal and policy forms determine coverage.
