Founded in 1939, National General operated as an independent publicly traded company (NASDAQ: NGHC) until January 2021, when The Allstate Corporation (NYSE: ALL) completed its $4 billion acquisition of National General Holdings Corp. — making National General a wholly owned subsidiary of Allstate and increasing Allstate’s personal property-liability market share by more than 1 percentage point to over 10%.
National General continues to operate under its own brand identity and independent agent distribution channel as “National General, an Allstate Company” — headquartered at 450 W. Hanes Mill Road, Suite 101, Winston-Salem, North Carolina. The company is led by Peter Rendall, who serves as Director, Chairman of the Board, President, and COO. National General is one of the largest independent agent auto insurance carriers in the U.S., writing approximately $5.6 billion in annual gross written premiums and serving policies across all 50 states.
