Business profile

Updated

Brown & Brown, founded in 1939, is headquartered in Daytona Beach and is led by Chief Executive Officer and President J. Powell Brown. It is an insurance intermediary: it helps customers obtain insurance rather than generally taking on the insurer’s underwriting risk itself.

The company sells insurance products and related services mainly in property and casualty insurance and employee benefits. Its Retail segment serves commercial, public and quasi-public entities, professionals and individuals. It also provides non-insurance warranty and service-risk-management offerings through automobile and recreational-vehicle dealer-services businesses.

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
