SageSure, a provider of catastrophe-exposed property insurance, has successfully closed a $250 million equity investment round.
The investment was led by Amwins, a prominent insurance broker, and Flexpoint Ford, a private equity firm, with participation from Ares Management Corporation.

We are excited to partner with them and support their efforts in building capacity, expanding their distribution base, and continuing to enhance their industry-leading technology platform.”
Dominic Hood, Managing Director of Flexpoint Ford, echoed Purviance’s sentiments, emphasizing their belief in SageSure’s superior risk selection approach and strong underwriting track record. “Our new partnership with SageSure and Amwins continues Flexpoint’s long history of partnering with growth-oriented platforms in the property and casualty insurance industry,” Hood added.
