Sheboygan, Wis.— Acuity has been named to the 2026 Ward’s 50 list of top-performing property casualty insurance companies, marking the 27th consecutive year the insurer has earned the distinction. The Ward’s 50 evaluates insurers based on financial strength, capital position, underwriting results, and long-term performance. For agents and policyholders, those measures provide an important indicator of financial stability and reliability.
Over the past 27 years, the insurance industry has navigated catastrophic weather events, economic downturns, a global pandemic, rising claim costs, and rapidly evolving risks. Through those changing conditions, Acuity has consistently maintained the financial performance and stability necessary to earn recognition among the nation’s top-performing property-casualty insurers.
“Earning this recognition year after year reflects our commitment to being financially strong, growing intentionally, and serving our agents and policyholders with consistency,” said Melissa Winter, President and CEO of Acuity Insurance. “Through changing markets and evolving risks, our focus has remained the same: doing the right things so we can better serve the people who rely on us.”
For independent agents, those qualities help inform one of the most important decisions they make: which carriers to recommend to their clients.
“Agents place their reputation behind every recommendation they make,” said Joel Katsma, Executive
Vice President – Chief Marketing & Distribution Officer at Acuity Insurance. “They need partners that will remain steady through changing market conditions, continue investing in service and innovation, and be there for customers over the long term.”
Those same qualities help provide peace of mind for policyholders, who depend on their insurer when unexpected losses occur.
“Consistency matters,” Winter said. “Earning this recognition for 27 consecutive years reflects our commitment to delivering the strength, service, and stability our customers and agency partners deserve.”
