Transportation Risk Group (hereinafter TRG)
was formed in early 1999 with the goal of providing claims
insurance and risk management services to the transportation
industry in New York, with emphasis on New York City Taxi
(Medallion) owners and Livery Services.
TRG was a licensed Risk Purchasing Group and
maintained a substantial offshore "Captive" servicing the
above industry, in a time of need, due to the decreasing capacity
of insurers to insure this type of risk, and the ever increasing
insurance costs associated with this line of business.
TRG's philosophy was to offer insurance at
reduced prices by Underwriting a select customer base and
working with their representatives and brokers to reduce claim
and operating costs enabling TRG to pass on the savings to
the policy holders.
TRG offered its clients reduced premium levels,
risk management, and personal customer service that exceeded
market expectations.
TRG promulgated underwriting rules and regulations
in an effort to stabilize claims and rising insuring premiums
during a turbulent insurance market.
During this period, TRG's management decided
to research the ability of acquiring an existing insurance
company to further our goals and long term objectives.
On or about January 2004, TRG acquired all
the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of Fiduciary
Insurance Company of America (hereinafter FICA), an insurance
company organized and licensed to write accident and health
insurance under the laws of the State of New York.
With the financial strength, integrity, and
seasoned insurance professionals of TRG and the subsequent
purchase of FICA, we shall offer to the market an exceptional
and innovative product, while at the same time maintaining
the level of comfort and service our clients are accustomed
to.
