Core capabilities
Forge's service model is built around four pillars. Together they cover the insurance cycle, from initial placement through to ongoing decisions, continuity and change.
Insurance broking
Placement of strata and property risks across both straightforward and complex market environments, from initial assessment and market engagement through to binding. The focus is on disciplined execution and a well‑managed, transparent placement process.
Advisory
Strategic input that shapes the placement before the market is engaged. Reviewing current arrangements, assessing market readiness, clarifying risk presentation and defining the right path forward.
Claims
Active support when a loss occurs. Notification, insurer engagement, claim progression and broader claims strategy, including the implications of the claim at renewal and beyond.
Placement strategy
The market strategy behind the placement itself. Insurer selection, structure, layered capacity and tailored placement pathways where a standard route is unlikely to produce the right result
Sector focus
Specialist focus across property and strata markets, supporting clearer decisions, stronger market engagement and more structured insurance outcomes. Forge operates across a focused set of market segments within strata and broader commercial property. That focus supports a deeper understanding of the assets, operating models and placement challenges that shape insurance outcomes, from routine renewals to specialised, multi-layered and structured programs. The result is a more informed approach to market selection, program design and insurer engagement.
A structured model, scaled to the risk, urgency and decision environment
Not every risk needs the same process. The Forge model scales its approach to match the complexity, urgency and decision environment of each engagement, applying the right level of structure rather than defaulting to a single way of working.
Transactional placements
Straightforward risks where speed, responsiveness and competitive market access matter most. The focus is on efficient execution with enough coordination to keep the process clean and well managed.
Large and structured placements
Larger assets and more complex risk profiles shift the emphasis toward insurer fit, placement structure and the quality of market engagement. The approach becomes more deliberate as the scale and decision environment require.
Distressed and hard to place risks
Where defects, claims history or reduced insurer appetite narrow the available market, judgment matters more than process. The priority is building a credible path forward through sharper risk framing, deeper market understanding and targeted insurer engagement.
Insurance advisory
Strategic input where the immediate need is clarity, not placement. This may include program review, market readiness assessment, second opinion advice or defining the right approach before insurers are engaged.
The placement is the starting point, not the finish line
How renewals are managed, how claims are handled and how the program adapts over time decide whether the original placement holds its value.
Renewals
Every renewal is a strategic decision point. We reassess the structure, review market conditions and position the program for the next cycle.
Claims
Claims are managed with reference to the program that was placed. From notification through to resolution, we support clear strategy, insurer engagement and practical decision-making.
Enquiries
Clients and partners have access to people who understand the placement, the program structure and the reasoning behind it.
Policy servicing
Operational discipline that keeps the placement current, documented and aligned to agreed changes.
Endorsements
Mid term changes managed with the same care as the original placement.
Ongoing decisions
Advice on program structure, market positioning and risk changes as assets, portfolios and market conditions evolve.
