Y-Risk is a brand company of The Hartford  and is an insurance intermediary, accepting business from select wholesale surplus lines brokers and retail agents.  Y-Risk LLC may act as a licensed producer and/or surplus lines broker (doing business in California under the name “Insurance Services by Y-Risk”).  Y-Risk LLC does not act as an agent, advisor or representative of the applicant or policyholder.  Y-Risk underwrites and facilitates the offering of policies from one or more of the property and casualty insurance companies of The Hartford Insurance Group, Inc.  In some case, the policies are written on a non-admitted or surplus lines basis by Navigators Specialty Insurance Company, Pacific Insurance Company Ltd. (except in CT and HI) and Hartford of Illinois Insurance Company in CT and HI.  Eligibility for surplus lines insurance coverage is subject to state regulations and requires the use of a surplus lines broker.  Surplus lines insurance policies are generally not protected by state guaranty funds.  Coverage may also be offered on an admitted basis from Hartford Fire Insurance Company and its affiliates.
