DOXA Buys Florida-Based Jupiter Underwriting Group
Indiana-headquartered DOXA, a specialty insurance firm built on acquiring and growing program administrators and MGAs, has expanded into Florida with the acquisition of Jupiter Underwriting Group.
The group is a managing general agent that specializes in admitted umbrella and follow-form excess liability. Jupiter was founded in 2019 by David Folkes and Dennis Burton, two industry veterans, the company said in a news release. Jupiter has focused on underwriting complex risk for contractors, hospitality firms, real estate, import/export companies and light manufacturing and oil and gas contractors.
Folkes and Burton will remain in place at the combined company.
DOXA, with offices in Fort Wayne, Indiana, plans to continue expanding in 2026 in specialty casualty insurance.
