Who Green Shield Risk Solutions is
Green Shield Risk Solutions LLC is a Chicago-based MGA. It combines insurance with risk mitigation and analytics, and it has wholesale market access. First Connect also calls it an MGA.
Green Shield's Guardian Elite Home product is aimed at high-value homes in wildfire areas. It also runs builders risk and real estate investor programs nationwide.
The insurer named on your policy, not the MGA, carries the risk.
Its 2024 collaboration with Striior covered wildfire analytics and underwriting.
Who issues Green Shield policies
Green Shield's Guardian Elite Home product is placed on "A.M. Best A+ rated Lloyd's paper," according to Beinsure in August 2026. No syndicate is named. We didn't verify the rating.
Lloyd's is a marketplace made up of syndicates. When a policy is on Lloyd's paper, the syndicates backing it are generally identified in the policy documents. Ask your agent to show you which ones.
We couldn't verify the insurers behind Green Shield's other programs.
What Green Shield covers
- Guardian Elite Home: a non-admitted HO-3 for high-value primary and secondary homes in wildfire-exposed areas. Liability limits run from $300,000 to $500,000. HO-3 townhomes are accepted. HO-6 condo policies are not.
- Builders risk, nationwide.
- Real estate investor program for buildings with five or more units, nationwide.
- REO portfolio program for 1 to 4 unit homes, condos and apartments up to 20 units.
Florida wind is available for builders risk and investor business. The First Connect carrier directory also lists DIC, dwelling fire, landlord, vacant and commercial package.
Where Green Shield writes
Guardian Elite Home is available in California and Colorado, in every ZIP code. Green Shield plans to expand to the Southeast and West, according to Beinsure.
Its other programs are nationwide, according to First Connect.
Green Shield sells through appointed retail agents. They use its Compass portal to quote and bind.
If you're outside California and Colorado, Guardian Elite Home isn't available yet. Green Shield's builders risk and investor programs may still be options. Ask your agent which programs are open in your state.
