Public Entity

Guy Carpenter’s deep experience, unmatched data insights and longtime relationships uniquely position us to help intergovernmental risk pools find innovative risk solutions.

Solutions Tailored to Your Public Entity

Guy Carpenter's Public Entity team works with you to identify, quantify and help predict the magnitude of risk that different parties take, whether they are the pool, your members, or reinsurers.

Local government revenue in the US was USD 1.8 trillion in 2018, or 9% of total US GDP, and represents a significant portion of our society’s risks. The majority of these local governments, including cities, municipalities, towns, schools and special districts are members of intergovernmental risk-sharing pools.
