Coastal Insurance Underwriters has been acquired by Constellation Affiliated Partners

December 2020 — The shareholders of Coastal Insurance Underwriters have sold the firm to Constellation Affiliated Partners.

Coastal Insurance Underwriters provides insurance products for a variety of community associations, including condominiums, homeowners and golf and country clubs. Headquartered in Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida, it is one of the largest MGUs to focus on this sector with over 8,000 community associations currently insured.

Constellation, backed by RedBird Capital Partners, is a New York-based insurance consolidator. The firm is active in acquiring MGUs, program administrators and wholesalers in the USA and Canada. Constellation largely seeks partnerships with companies that have demonstrated superior underwriting principles and have earned a solid industry reputation.
