The company describes itself as engaging in diverse business activities including insurance, technology solutions, reinsurance, and real estate. The insurance operations are conducted through several carriers that HCI owns and manages. These carriers write homeowners insurance and commercial residential insurance. HCI states that since its founding in 2006 it has assembled a portfolio of policies totaling over $1 billion of premium that are consistently profitable and have demonstrated strong retention ratios.

In addition, its real estate division owns, manages, and develops commercial properties in Florida. The company emphasizes a disciplined approach to capital allocation, maintaining a strong balance sheet, and creating long-term shareholder value.
