Preferred’s history dates back to 1999. Its robust membership and financial strength, including consistent growth of surplus, stem from its conservative platform of minimal, managed risk. Preferred is just that: preferred for unmatched public entity experience, innovation, stability and personalized service.
Preferred’s Trustees protect members and the fund through an extremely conservative strategy: buying excess-of-loss coverage at fiscally sound levels. Excess-of-loss policies also name each Preferred member as an additional insured. In contrast, reinsurance policies are responsible only to a trust, not to individual members.
