Winston Score History

The full picture

Selective Insurance Group is a property and casualty insurance company based in New Jersey. It sells insurance policies that protect businesses, homes, and cars against losses from accidents, fires, storms, and other unexpected events. Its main customers are small and mid-sized businesses, as well as individual homeowners, primarily in the eastern United States.

Selective makes money by collecting premiums from policyholders and investing that money until claims need to be paid. The company operates mostly in the eastern and midwestern United States and works closely with a network of independent insurance agents who sell its policies — a distribution model that helps build loyalty and local market knowledge. With roughly $5.6 billion in market cap, Selective is a regional insurer, not a national giant, which means it can focus on specific markets but also faces concentration risk. The key risk going forward is rising losses from severe weather events, which have been pushing claims costs higher across the entire property insurance industry.
