Ward Benchmarking, a division of Aon, selected the insurer from a pool of nearly 3,000 U.S.-based carriers. The selection process relies on a five-year analysis of financial safety and consistency, requiring companies to pass rigorous performance tests while managing capital growth. This year marks the 20th time overall that ICW Group has earned the distinction.

CEO Kevin Prior attributed the streak to a disciplined long-term growth strategy. The company recently expanded its national footprint by launching the ICW Specialty brand and increasing investments in underwriting expertise and technology. By focusing on commercial lines solutions, the group aims to balance growth with the financial security required by its independent agent and broker partners.
