FRMT, Ltd. was formed in September 1996 in Hamilton, Bermuda as a reinsurance company owned by 12 national college fraternities and begun its first underwriting year on October 1, 1996. As of August 1, 2005 the organization will have 27 member fraternities. Growth in the organization is a testament to its focus upon reducing the dependence of its member fraternities upon the commercial insurance market and allowing each member and the collective group to obtain a greater control over their future insurance needs and costs. Since its founding FRMT, Ltd has partnered with RSUI, Inc. Until 2003 RSUI was also known as Royal Specialty Underwriting, Inc. and issued the insurance contracts with Royal Surplus Lines Insurance Company that insured each member fraternity. FRMT, Ltd then reinsured a portion of the risk assumed by Royal Surplus Lines Insurance Company. In 2003 Royal/Sun Alliance, the parent company of Royal Surplus Lines Insurance Company, made a decision to discontinue writing insurance business in the United States and RSUI was sold to Alleghany Insurance Holdings and renamed Resergens Specialty Underwriting, Inc. RSUI today utilizes Landmark American Insurance Company, an AM Best & Co A X rated insurance company, and works in partnership with FRMT, Ltd in the same manner it has since 1996. Continuity in FRMT's work with RSUI has been the key to the organization's success as the organization management, underwriting and claim personnel has had very little change. In addition to providing comprehensive insurance coverage the FRMT organization works to provide risk management resources and education to improve the undergraduate experience of their members. The risk management efforts include:A) Semi-annual publishing and distribution of FRMT News.
