This may sound like an oxymoron, but SF has so many I-banks that it makes it difficult to determine which ones have a FIG group that serves the insurance industry.
My guess would be:
Merill Lynch (ml.com)
Morgan Stanley (morganstanley.com)
Howe Barnes Hoefer & Arnett (howebarnes.com)
maybe JMP Securities (jmpsecurities.com)
You might try utilizing the I-Bank board on Vault to see if anyone can help you determine which firms in the SF area serve the insurance industry.
As far the the companies that finance insurance agencies, the ones I know are located in different regions:
insurbank.com (CT)
oakstreetfunding.com (IN)
brookecredit.com (KS)
Another thought (don't know if it would be of any interest to you or not), you may be able to transfer into or get a job in insurance premium financing. Even though this would not be a direct step into what you are looking for, it might be a great stepping stone in the right direction. Basically, this is where the annual insurance premiums for businesses are financed over 12 months. I don't know a lot about it, but I would think that some credit underwriting goes into the decision. |

you may try some small firms like moors and cabot. They are based in boston and have a FIG group in NY and Boston, but they also have a san fran operation
also check out KBW, sandler o'neil who have well respected FIG groups and are small enough firms that you may have better success than with the BB. May also want to look at soe reinsurrance cos
