About

Erie Indemnity Company is an Erie, Pennsylvania-based property-casualty insurance management company — publicly traded on NASDAQ (NASDAQ: ERIE) as an S&P 500 Financials component — serving as the attorney-in-fact for Erie Insurance Exchange, managing the operations, underwriting, and policyholder services for the Exchange's property, auto, life, and commercial insurance products across a 12-state territory (Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, Wisconsin, West Virginia, Virginia, Tennessee, Maryland, North Carolina, New York, Kentucky, and the District of Columbia) through approximately 6,200 employees. Erie Indemnity is structurally unique among publicly traded insurance companies: rather than taking underwriting risk itself, Erie Indemnity earns a management fee (approximately 25% of earned premiums written by Erie Insurance Exchange) for managing the Exchange's insurance operations — creating a highly predictable, capital-light fee business insulated from underwriting loss volatility that a traditional insurance company faces. In 2025, Erie Indemnity celebrated its 100th anniversary by establishing the $100 million Erie Insurance Foundation — a private charitable foundation supporting community initiatives across Erie's 12-state footprint — demonstrating the company's century-long tradition of community investment in the Midwest and Mid-Atlantic markets it serves. CEO Tim NeCastro leads the company founded in 1925 by H.O. Hirt and O.G. Crawford in Erie, Pennsylvania.
