What Member-Owned Means
Trident Insurance operates as a reciprocal insurance company, under Trident Reciprocal Exchange. Each member, also called subscribers, pays premiums into a common fund, much like a traditional insurance company. However, in a reciprocal insurer, the fund is owned by the members themselves, not by external shareholders, and governed by a Subscriber Advisory Committee. Trident keeps a fixed percentage from the premiums we collect for operating costs and the rest goes towards managing claims, securing reinsurance, and building reserves to ensure enough resources to meet potential future claims. If there is money left over, members may benefit from lower premiums in the future or even dividends.
Reciprocal in a Nutshell
A reciprocal insurer is a collective safety net that combines the benefits of mutual ownership with a more personalized approach to insurance, creating a system where each member’s needs and interests are central to how the insurer operates.
- Cost Efficiency: Lower overhead costs allow savings to be passed back to members.
- Customization: Reciprocal insurers can often tailor policies to the specific needs of their members, offering more personalized coverage.
- Alignment of Interests: Because we take only a fixed fee, earning profits does not conflict with our duty to pay claims, creating a system where each member’s needs and interests are central to how the insurer operates.

- Trident Insurance has the reserves and resources to fulfill its promise to you without delay.
