The company focuses on small to mid-sized businesses across low- and medium-hazard classes including restaurants, retail stores, physicians, and professional offices, while serving diverse commercial and consumer markets via three core segments: Small Commercial Business, Specialty Risk and Extended Warranty, and Specialty Program Business. AmTrust conducts operations in North America, the United Kingdom, and continental Europe, employing approximately 9,300 people globally.
Founded in 1998 and headquartered at 59 Maiden Lane in New York, New York, AmTrust maintains a network of subsidiaries such as AmTrust Insurance Company, Wesco Insurance Company, Technology Insurance Company, CorePointe Insurance Company, and others that support its underwriting and distribution activities.
In September 2025, AmTrust announced a definitive agreement with Blackstone Credit & Insurance to spin off certain managing general agency (MGA) and fee-based businesses—including subsidiaries ANV, Risico, Collegiate, AmTrust Nordic, Arc Legal, Qualis, and Abacus—into a new independent multinational platform backed jointly by AmTrust and Blackstone funds, with the transaction expected to close by year-end 2025 pending regulatory approvals; under a related ten-year capacity agreement, AmTrust will continue underwriting the existing books of business distributed through these MGAs.
