Ash Brokerage
Ash Brokerage was founded more than 50 years ago and is now the largest privately held insurance brokerage general agency (BGA) in the country, according to the firm’s own marketing. It is headquartered in Fort Wayne, Indiana, with a subsidiary, The Palladium Group, located at the same address. The firm does not publicly disclose its ownership or any single family behind it. The firm distributes insurance products across four major categories: life insurance, annuities, long-term care, and disability insurance. It represents more than 80 insurance carriers, as stated on its website. Ash provides case design, advanced planning support, licensing, and policy administration through its Ash Advisor Portal, which offers real-time policy feeds. It targets financial professionals of all types, including advisors, wealth managers, RIAs, CPAs, and bankers, helping them place standard, complex, and jumbo cases. Ash has not disclosed total premiums placed, number of advisors served, or any recent growth metrics publicly. The firm maintains no disclosed investment arm, separate AUM, or philanthropic foundation. Its team size is unlisted. In lieu of direct investment activity, the firm offers a referral program for Medicare and hosts live events for insurance professionals on topics like legacy planning and RMD strategies. Ash Brokerage’s structural differentiator is its scale as a privately held BGA: it operates as a service-and-platform intermediary, not as a capital pool. The firm does not take principal risk or invest alongside clients, which separates it from family offices or asset managers that deploy capital directly. Its governance structure, ownership, and succession arrangements are not public.
