A Message From the Editor

In recent years, the surplus lines sector has seen its share of the California home insurance market fluctuate from nearly 60,000 policies in 2018 to a low of 20,000 in 2021. Since its 2021 dip, the sector has steadily increased its market share.
In one of today’s lead stories, Ben McKay of the Surplus Lines Association of California discusses how admitted carriers pulling back in the state impacts the non-admitted market, California’s FAIR Plan and how agents can place policies in the surplus lines sector.
