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 MEM’s behalf.

Waypoint is a specialty reinsurance underwriting management company providing property, casualty, and workers compensation reinsurance solutions across North America.

MEM (formerly Missouri Employers Mutual and Previsor) is a regional workers compensation insurance provider serving businesses of all sizes.

Under the agreement, Waypoint will begin quoting business effective 1st July 2026. The addition of MEM as a capacity carrier partner expands Waypoint’s ability to provide diversified, highly rated reinsurance capacity to brokers and ceding companies across the US.

The agreement strengthens Waypoint’s position as an independent reinsurance underwriting platform, providing clients with access to multiple highly rated capacity providers across property, casualty, and workers compensation treaty lines through a single point of underwriting contact.

Jason Denechaud, Managing Partner of Waypoint Underwriting Management, said, “One of Waypoint’s founding principles was to build a platform where our trading partners could access multiple sources of high-quality capacity through a single underwriting relationship.

“The addition of MEM advances that vision. Their financial strength, long-term perspective, and commitment to disciplined underwriting make them an ideal partner as we continue to expand our market presence and create value for our clients.”

Joseph Horan, Managing Partner of Waypoint Underwriting Management, added, “As the reinsurance marketplace continues to evolve, brokers and cedents increasingly value consistency, responsiveness, and access to diversified capital. MEM brings an outstanding reputation and a culture that closely aligns with Waypoint’s underwriting philosophy. We are excited to begin building a profitable and enduring portfolio together.”
