International Casualty
We reinsure long-tail insurance business ceded to us by insurance company clients underwriting anywhere in the world, except the USA. We write treaty contracts on both an excess of loss and proportional basis via professional reinsurance brokers. Our underwriting team is based in London.
Our clients operate in a wide range of legal jurisdictions, each of which has its own characteristics. Therefore each of our underwriters has responsibility for particular geographical areas and seeks to remain abreast of the ever-changing relevant legal, product and socio-economic environment by way of regular visits to, and meetings with, not only our clients but also other industry contacts.
We regard it vital to understand the basis upon which our clients provide the original indemnity and we have therefore developed significant expertise in reviewing original policy documentation such that we offer comments and observations on new drafts being prepared by our clients.
To support our underwriting process, our team has also developed a range of sophisticated rating models enabling each contract to be underwritten on its own merits. We also conduct analysis of market-wide loss trends in key territories. Access to internal actuarial support is available to the team as required and close liaison with claims handlers ensures a better understanding of the ever-changing influences on long-tail claims.
