“We have an enduring commitment to protect our clients. At Horton, our strict internal controls and disciplined corporate governance provide our clients with peace of mind.”
- George Daly, Chief Operating Officer
Horton’s strategy dictates that a greater percentage of our revenue is invested in client services and staff to support our clients. However, we recognize that no business can support growth and excellence over the long term without profitability and growth.
The Horton Group takes great pride in maintaining a healthy balance between financial strength and investing in our clients, our employees and the future.
The Horton Group is:
Profitable – We continue to support growth and earn a solid, consistent operating profit.
Growing – Year after year, Horton has consistently increased in size and shareholder value.
Strong – Continued profitability has enabled Horton to build a very solid balance sheet.
Open – The Horton Group regularly shares information with clients and employees.
What Our Financial Strength Means to You
We take our fiduciary responsibility seriously.
In their normal course of business, insurance brokers hold very large sums of money in a fiduciary capacity. Yet once state licensing requirements have been met, insurance brokers are subject to very little ongoing regulatory supervision. If a broker is not financially capable of advancing your premiums and sustaining their operation, it is doubtful that they would have sufficient assets to satisfy any potential claim.
Horton attracts the best talent.
While Best in Class companies share many positive characteristics – financial strength is always near the top of the list. Strong, profitable, responsible companies have the resources that top-talent people seek – competitive compensation, valuable benefits, effective technology, the opportunity for continued growth and personal success.
We don’t cut corners.
Regardless of industry or profession, financially weak companies survive by taking shortcuts. All companies must meet the ongoing demands of payroll, benefits, facilities and more. Satisfying these obligations and growing a business require financial strength and profitable performance year-to-year. While a strong brokerage firm can weather an occasional storm, those with weak balance sheets simply lack the resources to meet the challenges of growth.
We invest in the future.
The Horton Group has implemented a succession plan and an ownership structure that demonstrates our commitment to the future. Horton’s solid operating margins are in the best interests of clients and employees. This performance enables Horton to consistently invest in technology, training, and the services that support the complex needs of our clients.
“Talented people are attracted to Horton, and they are more likely to remain with the company because of a greater opportunity for growth.”
- Frank Poppie, Senior Vice President, Horton Risk Management Services
