American Guaranty Fund Group, Inc.

Welcome!

The American Guaranty Fund Group, Inc. (AGFG) was created in 2004 to function as the management company for the Florida Insurance Guaranty Association, Inc. (FIGA) and the Florida Workers’ Compensation Insurance Guaranty Association, Inc. (FWCIGA), entities created by statute to pay the claims of insolvent insurers. The formation of AGFG was initiated, in part, to gain efficiencies through the consolidation of executive management for FIGA and FWCIGA. The consolidation results in cost savings for each of the individual guaranty funds, provides consistency in processes and reduces redundancies. AGFG is organized and operated as a not-for-profit corporation under the laws of the State of Florida and is headquartered in Tallahassee.
