By Michael Loney Oct 12 (The Insurer) — Insurance intermediary platform ANV Group Holdings has launched ANV PacificPoint through its MGA incubator ANV LaunchPad. ANV PacificPoint offers difference-in-conditions and earthquake insurance for commercial property risks across the US. The platform offers up to $30 million in capacity for risks ranging from individual properties to complex, multi-location portfolios. The business is led by president Todd Ruyak and executive vice president Eric Mihailovich, who have more than 50 years dedicated to earthquake and DIC underwriting between them. Both were most recently executive vice presidents at Catalytic Risk Managers, a Dual company. They also worked together at Tokio Marine HCC and Arrowhead General Insurance Agency.
