Hagerty, Inc., a prominent name in the automotive enthusiast community and a leader in specialty vehicle insurance, has announced a new fronting arrangement with Markel. The company has entered into a non-binding letter of intent under which Hagerty will assume full control of the underwriting and investment economics, starting January 1, 2026. This move, pending regulatory approval, will see Hagerty paying an initial fronting fee of 2% to Markel, which will decrease as the volume of policies increases annually. This strategic shift aims to enhance profitability and operational control without disrupting service to policyholders. Hagerty's CEO, McKeel Hagerty, emphasizes that this development marks a significant evolution in the successful partnership with Markel that began in 2013. Further details are available on Hagerty's investor relations website.
