Christensen Group Joins LSVDA as Platinum Sponsor and Introduces LSV Shield™ Insurance Platform
Christensen Group Introduces Dealer-Focused Insurance Platform Supporting Risk Management and Business Performance Across the LSVDA Network
Sarasota, FL and Eden Prairie, Minnesota – March 31, 2026 – The Low Speed Vehicle Dealer Association (LSVDA) is pleased to welcome Christensen Group as a Platinum Sponsor and Insurance Leadership Partner, supporting the introduction of LSV Shield, a dealer-focused insurance platform developed exclusively for the low-speed vehicle and golf car industry
LSV Shield, is being developed by the Christensen Group, in conjunction with Bluefields Specialty to address these challenges through a more structured, dealer-centric approach to business insurance, focusing on dealership operations, rental fleets (including LSVs), and commercial applications.
As the industry continues to expand into street-legal, fleet, rental, and commercial applications, the complexity of risk and dealer commercial insurance has increased significantly. Dealers are navigating evolving liability considerations, operational risks, and regulatory requirements across multiple use cases. LSV Shield was developed to meet those challenges head-on, offering specialized protection that traditional insurance markets have not been able to provide.
“Dealers across the country are navigating a fragmented insurance landscape,” said Mike Alexander, Executive Director of LSVDA. “Christensen Group brings a structured approach to risk management that can help bring clarity and consistency to an area that has lacked both.”
Through its partnership with LSVDA, Christensen Group will engage directly with dealers through educational content, best-practice webinars, and industry insights. Initial efforts will include an “Insurance Review” program designed to help dealers identify coverage gaps, align policies with operational realities, and improve cost-to-coverage outcomes.
“We see a strong opportunity to support LSV dealers with more tailored, data-informed insurance solutions, “said Brandon Schuh, Head of Specialty Insurance at Christensen Group. “Through LSVDA, we look forward to working closely with dealers to better understand their needs and help bring more structure and consistency to this space.”
The partnership will also support the development of industry insights through dealer surveys and ongoing engagement, helping inform future insurance program development aligned with the unique needs of the LSV market.”
