About Us > Affiliates

Our organization includes four insurance company subsidiaries — AmGUARD, EastGUARD, NorGUARD, and WestGUARD — that trade under the name GUARD Insurance Group in writing commercial insurance policies for small- to mid-sized businesses throughout our operating area. Our marketing, underwriting, policy issuance, compliance, premium collection, loss control, and claims services are all handled through affiliates with selective use of vendors to augment in-house resources. Certain activities related to claims and medical management are coordinated by GUARDCo – a subsidiary that allows us to utilize the techniques of managed care in adjusting workers’ compensation losses. Together, these companies give GUARD Insurance Group maximum flexibility in responding to opportunities within the marketplace without sacrificing efficiency or the quality of our product.

In October of 2012, the GUARD group became a wholly owned subsidiary of National Indemnity Company, which is in turn a wholly owned subsidiary of Berkshire Hathaway Inc. National Indemnity Company is a worldwide provider of specialized insurance and reinsurance coverages. Berkshire Hathaway Inc. is a holding company owning a number of diverse business activities, including property and casualty insurance and reinsurance. Warren Buffett is Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the latter.
