FM and PURE Insurance partner to strengthen loss prevention for high-value homes. Publish Date - 10 July 2026 Through the partnership, FM will bring its engineering expertise and leading research capabilities to help PURE members increase resilience and enhance property protection Johnston, R.I., and White Plains, N.Y., July 10, 2026 - FM, a leading commercial property insurer known for its science- and engineering-led approach to risk management, and PURE Insurance (PURE), the reciprocal insurer exclusively serving high-net-worth families across the United States and Canada, today announced a strategic partnership, expanding FM's leading loss prevention capabilities to protect high-value residential homes. The partnership establishes a long-term collaboration to bring FM's research, engineering and loss prevention expertise to PURE members to help build resilience in their properties. It also includes a risk-sharing reinsurance agreement under which FM will share in PURE's underwriting results. Together, the companies will focus on developing new ways to help high-value homeowners better understand risk, strengthen resilience and prevent loss. Initial efforts will address the most complex homeowner risks - including wildfire-exposed properties - against which FM has helped its clients protect for decades. "We chose the PURE team as our partners as we enter this space because they share the belief that the majority of property loss is preventable through stronger understanding of risk and close collaboration with clients," said Malcolm Roberts, chairman and chief executive officer of FM. "With FM's engineering expertise, leading research capabilities and nearly two centuries of helping clients mitigate risk and build resilience, we see a unique opportunity to partner with PURE and bring that same approach to its members." "PURE has long believed that helping members identify and mitigate risk is one of the most important services we provide," said Martin Leitch, chief executive officer of PURE Insurance. "FM has demonstrated, at scale, that a science- and engineering-led approach can materially reduce risk. We believe these same capabilities can be applied to high-value homes in ways that will lower the cost of risk for PURE members, and give us greater confidence in how we assess and manage risk, which should allow us to responsibly expand the membership over time, including insuring certain risks that we might approach more cautiously today." The partnership reflects strong alignment of purpose between the two organizations, both of which are structured to prioritize the long-term interests of their clients and members and believe proactive loss prevention is key to lowering the cost of risk. Leitch added: "By combining our strengths, we believe we will make a meaningful difference for families by helping them better protect their homes and prevent loss for years to come."

The rising risk of cybercrime. PURE Staff April 12, 2026 Cybercrime continues to make headlines, with attacks growing more frequent and sophisticated. While cyber risk isn't new, the way it shows up in its everyday lives is changing. As the risk continues to change, Pure Situation Room continue to adapt its coverage to meet it thoughtfully. Later this year, Pure Situation Room will be launching several new protections as part of its cyber and fraud policy. Auto cyber attacks. Coverage coming soon Cars have become "computers on wheels." Modern vehicles run on hundreds of millions of lines of code, controlling everything from steering and braking to collision avoidance and infotainment systems. As vehicles become more software-driven, cybersecurity is increasingly a safety issue and not just a technology concern. Recent studies have uncovered vulnerabilities in connected vehicle systems that allowed remote unlocking, starting and even tracking of certain vehicles. As connectivity expands, so does the potential for unauthorized access - whether to disrupt functionality, disable systems, demand payment, steal the vehicle or access data and property stored inside. While still an emerging threat, this risk is a natural byproduct of increased connectivity and software complexity. Consumer sentiment reflects this reality. Fewer than one in five connected car drivers say they are very confident their vehicle is protected from cyber threats, and most express concern that an attack could compromise safety. For many, cybersecurity is becoming a factor in vehicle purchasing decisions. PURE's cyber coverage can help pay to restore vehicle software corrupted by a cyber attack or unauthorized access and reimburse related costs, such as towing and alternative transportation, while repairs are completed. Cyberbullying. Coverage coming soon From group chats to social media, online spaces are central to how young people communicate, but they also carry real risk. Nearly nine in ten teenagers report experiencing cyberbullying, with effects that can extend well beyond the screen. In serious cases, incidents may require counseling, legal guidance or even a change of school, creating emotional strain and unexpected costs. If your child is affected by cyberbullying, PURE's cyber coverage can help reimburse expenses related to therapy, relocation or school enrollment, temporary private tutoring, online privacy protection and tools to help prevent further harassment. In addition to these enhancements, its fraud and cyber coverage continues to protect against a broad range of risks - even some that other insurers are excluding. Widespread cyber attacks. Coverage that's here to stay Widespread cyber attacks continue to expose the personal data of millions of consumers each year, yet many policies now limit or exclude coverage for events that affect large numbers of policyholders. Individuals often learn months after the incident that their information was compromised, sometimes only after fraudulent charges, damaged credit or other misuse appears. PURE's cyber coverage continues to provide reimbursement for widespread cyber attacks.[1] A small investment in long-term protection. Today, only 43% of members have fraud and cyber coverage, leaving more than half without protection for this growing risk. If you do not currently carry this coverage, Pure Situation Room encourage you to speak with your broker to learn more. [1. Coverage for widespread cyber attacks related to an act of war may be excluded. Refer to the policy language for the precise coverage offered.]
