About Us

Next Wave Insurance Services, LLC (“Next Wave”), based in San Diego, CA, is a subsidiary of The Ward Group, LLC (“TWG”).  The firm was launched in 2004 by Jeff Ward, The Chairman of TWG, and former CEO of the claims management firm, Ward North America.

Next Wave’s primary focus is to develop niche and proprietary insurance products in the commercial property and casualty marketplace exclusively through independent agents and brokers.  The firm operates as a program administrator and managing general agency, where experienced and disciplined underwriting will achieve consistent results for our carrier and reinsurance partners. 

Next Wave is also a licensed wholesale broker providing access to the surplus lines market to place our broker client’s more complex risks, which fall outside our underwriting criteria.
