Business profile

Updated

Arthur J. Gallagher & Co. is an insurance broker, reinsurance broker, consultant and third-party property/casualty claims administrator. Founded in 1927 and headquartered in Itasca, it is led by Chairman and Chief Executive Officer J. Patrick Gallagher, Jr.

Its brokers and consultants help companies, public bodies, nonprofit organizations and individuals buy insurance, arrange reinsurance, manage risks and run employee-benefit programs. In plain English, it connects clients seeking protection against losses with insurance companies and other risk-taking providers that supply the capital for those losses. It generally does not keep the underwriting risk itself.

From the latest earnings call

Updated

  • CEO J. Patrick Gallagher Jr. said new business, retention and exposure growth supported organic growth as insurance rates contributed less than in recent years.

Total pay is as the Summary Compensation Table states it; actually paid revalues the year’s share awards at its end, as the SEC’s pay-versus-performance rule asks. $100 invested is what $100 in the company’s shares at the start of the earliest year shown was worth at each year’s end. Ownership is the proxy’s own table: the directors and officers as a group, and every holder of 5% or more. Read the proxy statement
