Waypoint Underwriting Management, a division of Brown & Brown, has entered into a reinsurance intermediary management agreement with MEM Mutual Insurance Company (MEM) to underwrite property, casualty and workers’ compensation treaty reinsurance business on behalf of MEM.
Waypoint is a specialty reinsurance underwriting manager providing property, casualty and workers’ compensation reinsurance solutions across North America.
MEM (formerly Missouri Employers Mutual Aid and Previsor) is a regional workers’ compensation insurance provider serving businesses of all sizes.
Under the agreement, Waypoint will begin quoting operations on July 1, 2026. The addition of MEM as a capacity carrier partner expands Waypoint’s ability to provide diversified, highly rated reinsurance capabilities to brokers and ceding companies throughout the United States.
The agreement solidifies Waypoint’s position as an independent reinsurance underwriting platform, giving clients access to multiple highly rated capacity providers in the property, casualty and workers’ compensation treaty areas through a single underwriting point of contact.
Jason Denechaud, Managing Partner of Waypoint Underwriting Management, said: “One of Waypoint’s founding principles is to build a platform that allows our trading partners to access multiple sources of high-quality capacity through a single underwriting relationship.
“The addition of MEM advances this vision. Their financial strength, long-term vision and commitment to disciplined underwriting make them an ideal partner as we continue to expand market share and create value for our customers.”
Joseph Horan, managing partner of Waypoint Underwriting Management, added: “As the reinsurance market continues to evolve, brokers and cedants increasingly value consistency, responsiveness and access to diverse capital. MEM brings a reputation for excellence and a culture that is closely aligned with Waypoint’s underwriting philosophy. We are excited to begin building a profitable and durable portfolio together.”
