About. The plot twist
Harvey. The broker who made insurance interesting.
I’m Harvey M. Wexelman. 30+ years. Individuals and families, family offices, advisors who expect better. Miami Beach home base. Sagaponack July through mid-October. Hard-to-place? That’s my kind of puzzle. Placements subject to appointments, appetite, and underwriting. I’m an employee of Acrisure.
The Person Behind the Practice
Real broker. Real judgment. Zero chatbot energy.
I’m a licensed insurance broker with over 30 years in the game. I place and steward programs for complex private lives and the entities around them. No legal-doc bots. No auto-quote robots. Judgment still matters, and I still enjoy it.
Clients and advisors call for discreet consults: map the exposures, hunt the gaps, place with markets that get complex private lives. Relationship first. Never online bind.
I owned and ran Alwex Inc until I sold it to Acrisure in 2019. Today I’m an Acrisure employee. I still put my own name forward, Harvey M. Wexelman. Acrisure is my employer and agency home. It’s not the brand on this site. The relationship with you stays personal.
Miami Beach domicile. Sagaponack July through mid-October. Clients and advisor partners across the map. I place subject to appointments, appetite, and underwriting.
I work with prestige personal-lines carriers, including Chubb, Berkley One, PURE, Private Client Select (formerly AIG Private Client Group), and Cincinnati, when appointments, appetite, and underwriting allow. Not exclusive. Not a guarantee. Other markets may fit better.

How This Practice Works
What I am. What I’m not. No spin.
Private-client marketing should be honest. Here’s the posture. Plain English, a little edge.
Real brokerage
I place personal and commercial coverage through markets I can access. We talk risk, limits, forms, renewals. Not bots posing as counsel.
Alwex → Acrisure
I owned Alwex Inc until I sold it to Acrisure in 2019. I’m an Acrisure employee and still put Harvey M. Wexelman forward. Proud of that home base. This site is my personal practice, not a corporate Acrisure page. No guaranteed carrier or terms. The relationship stays personal.
Prestige personal lines
Chubb, Berkley One, PURE, Private Client Select, Cincinnati, and others when they fit. Appointments, appetite, and underwriting decide. No exclusives. No guarantees.
Advisor-to-advisor
Family offices and wealth managers are peers. I collaborate. I don’t compete for your mandate.
No manufactured proof
No invented awards, testimonials, or license numbers. Credentials in consultation. Marketing stays honest.
Prestige personal lines
Names you’ll recognize
For ID only, not an appointment claim or placement guarantee. Subject to appointments, appetite, and underwriting. Marks belong to their owners.
