About Hagerty, Inc.

Hagerty, Inc. (ticker: HGTY) is a U.S.-listed company traded on the NYSE in the United States. For investors, it is best understood as a specialized insurance and automotive enthusiast platform rather than a conventional insurer. Headquartered in Traverse City, Michigan, where the company says it has operated since 1984, Hagerty was built around a clear mission: to save driving and car culture for future generations.

However, Hagerty’s model is broader than underwriting alone. Its ecosystem includes Hagerty Drivers Club, a membership community offering benefits, roadside support, editorial content and exclusive services; Hagerty Valuation Tools, which provides pricing guides and market intelligence for collector vehicles; Hagerty Media, which produces automotive content; and a marketplace / auction platform that helps enthusiasts buy and sell collectible cars online and through live events. The company also operates and promotes automotive experiences and events, reinforcing its brand within the enthusiast segment. ([investor.hagerty.com](https://investor.hagerty.com/overview/?utm_source=openai)) From a historical perspective, Hagerty came to the public market in December 2021 through a business combination with Aldel Financial, after which it began trading on the NYSE under the HGTY symbol. That transaction gave the company a public equity platform to support further growth and expansion across insurance and adjacent enthusiast services. Since then, management has continued to develop the company around membership engagement, market data, and brand-led monetization rather than relying solely on traditional premium growth.

Its key advantage is the combination of underwriting expertise, proprietary valuation data, media, and community engagement within one automotive passion ecosystem. That integrated model helps create loyalty and recurring touchpoints with customers, while also strengthening the brand relative to generalist insurers. Hagerty also emphasizes the depth of its collector-car market data and valuation framework, which supports pricing insight and credibility among owners, buyers, and sellers.

On May 6, 2026, Hagerty reported first-quarter 2026 results showing 18% growth in written premiums to $289 million, a 15% increase in policies in force to 1.8 million, and 77% growth in Adjusted EBITDA to $85 million. Management reaffirmed its 2026 written premium growth outlook of 15% to 16%. In November 2025, the company also announced a new partnership with Liberty Mutual, a notable strategic step for its insurance distribution footprint in the U.S. market.
