Approved April 23, effective August 17. Hiscox's Texas GL book — 27,919 policyholders, $25.7M premium — takes a 33% state indication, but the increase isn't spread evenly. Real-estate property managers (class 47052), Hiscox's worst-performing class, absorb up to 72.8% as the carrier moves the loss-cost multiplier from 2.097 to 2.324. A communicable-disease exclusion attaches to every policy, and new endorsements arrive for Amazon vendors and supplemental business personal property.
Who feels it: Texas real-estate managers and habitational risks first, but the surgical approach signals which classes Hiscox is steering away from. Move now: a 73% renewal is a shop trigger, not a negotiation — get property-management accounts quoted elsewhere well before the August date.
