Former Florida Insurance Chief McCarty Joins Assured Risk Cover Board of Advisors

Assured Risk Cover, provider of StormPeace residential parametric insurance, has announced that former Florida Insurance Commissioner Kevin McCarty has joined its board of advisors. McCarty served as Florida’s first appointed insurance commissioner from 2003 to 2016 and president of the National Association of Insurance Commissioners in 2012.

“I’m delighted and honored to have the privilege of joining the Board of Advisors of Assured Risk Cover and I look forward to engaging with the company leadership in its quest to provide greater financial security for Floridians that may be adversely impacted by a devastating hurricane,” said McCarty. “I have always firmly believed that parametric insurance could be a very practical tool to enhance resiliency in society and accelerate the recovery of individual victims.”

Assured Risk Cover sells StormPeace hurricane insurance in the state of Florida. The company is gearing up for its second hurricane season, providing policies that pay out automatically and instantly based on the strength of the named hurricane and its distance from the insured’s property.

StormPeace covers expenses that are excluded by a traditional Homeowners policy and can be used to even satisfy the hurricane deductible.

Assured Risk Cover (ARC) is a venture-backed Silicon Valley corporation based in Pleasanton, Calif.
