  • Our Insurance Services capability is deep, but simply defined, with our teams aligned to our core insurance markets: Intermediaries, Insurer & Market and Captives. We work with and help develop Lloyd’s syndicates, MGAs, brokers, insurers, reinsurers and international captive owners.

    We have successfully supported the launch and host of more than 70 MGAs, and established ourselves as the go-to partner for entrepreneurs and businesses looking to start new MGA platforms. In addition we provide core operations and capacity management services for brokers and MGAs, and we are the leading provider of legacy solutions for end-of-life broker portfolios. 

    Our global top seventh ranked Captive Management business provides technical solutions to captive customers in Europe, the US, Latin America, Canada, Asia, Guernsey, Australasia and the UK . From our bases in Bermuda and the US our team delivers captive operations, including rent-a-captive, re-insurance advice, and exit solutions. Our Lloyd’s Managing Agency business also provides access to the Captive Syndicate solution, offering a highly effective alternative for captive owners to diversify their risk financing, reduce collateral requirements and minimise costs.

    Our Market Services team is recognised as one of the leading specialist providers of services to (Re)insurers & MGAs, providing insurance operations and consulting solutions for start-up, live and legacy partners, globally.

Depending on your circumstances and objectives, we offer a range of bespoke solutions including a full “Syndicate”, a “Syndicate-in-a-Box”, a “Special Purpose Arrangement” (SPA), or “Captive Syndicate”. Whichever route is chosen, we’ll work with you to ensure your proposed business plan provides accretive value to Lloyd’s and meets with their entry requirements.

      • Innovative start-up businesses offering different products and distribution

    • Syndicate-in-a-Box

      A Lloyd’s Syndicate-in-a-Box is the ideal solution for:

      • Innovative start-up businesses offering different products and distribution
      • Significant, established MGAs/MGUs seeking to take underwriting risk into their own business
      • Single geography or product line experts unable to set up independently

    • Special Purpose Arrangement

      A Lloyd’s Special Purpose Arrangement is the ideal solution for:

      • A business or capital provider seeking to gain exposure to underwriting at Lloyd’s and the additional distribution it offers
      • Businesses seeking flexibility of either a cost-effective long-term partnership with a “host” syndicate, or migration to full syndicate over time

    • Captive Syndicate

      The Lloyd’s Captive Syndicate could suit any Captive writing First Party or related Third Party risks – from the large blue-chip to the smaller privately owned Captive – with multi-national risk exposure and seeking a cost-effective alternative to fronting, more control over its working insurance layers, and reduced tax and regulatory risk. The types of captives that are suited to the syndicate model include, among others:

      • Groups
      • Associations
      • Single Parent
      • Protected Cell Companies (PCCs)
      • Incorporated Cell Companies (ICCs)

      Some of our clients choose to partner with us in the longer term, testimony to our expertise, flexibility and ability to move with the times and respond to a changing business environment. We help reduce your operating costs through economies of scale. We achieve this by providing all of our clients the same depth of expertise and breadth of services that would otherwise be expensive to resource independently.

    • Post migration services

      As part of their long-term strategy, some of our clients choose to move on to independence but continue to receive key services from us. This helps to reduce ongoing costs associated with resourcing and recruiting for non-core functions that distract from the business of underwriting.

  • Legacy business frequently takes valuable resource in a broking firm away from their primary role of winning and servicing live business which negatively impacts results and bottom line costs. Our ‘Broker Wrap’ services will enhance the value of the broker’s live business, removing the uncertainty and challenges associated with legacy business.

    Broker Wrap takes all the responsibility for legacy issues away from the broker from a set point in time. Where it is able to do so our Intermediary Services, through its subsidiary Davies Intermediary Support Services Limited, purchases the legacy entity in its entirety, for a nominal purchase prices and an agreed fee to cover the run-off. If it is not possible to acquire the entity, the wrap can still be completed by securing client consent to the transfer.

    This provides significant cost savings, in most cases, at least 30% when compared with the broker’s expected run-off costs. Our broker wrap services also deliver a drastic reduction in the run off period. In a typical reinsurance run-off the legacy period may extend beyond 10 years whereas the wrap will allow a broker to clear the legacy and remove their ongoing responsibilities within 12 months.

    Disclaimer: Lloyd’s is proposing to transfer certain EEA insurance policies to Lloyd’s Brussels. The proposed transfer will not change terms and conditions of any policy, except that Lloyd’s Brussels will become the insurer and Data Controller in respect of the transferred policies. Further information about the proposal (including whether it could affect your pre-transfer position), which policies are transferring, your rights and what you need to do can be found at lloyds.com/brexittransfer.

    • Loss Fund Service

      Over the last six years, we have returned over £160m to the market for Lloyd’s managing agents and London Market companies across a variety of classes.

      What is a Loss Fund?

      Loss Funds are monies held in trust by a third party (TPA) or broker on behalf of the capacity provider which are used to facilitate the payments of claims at a set agreed value. Over-funding and mismanagement of Loss Funds is an inherent problem within the London Market. Specifically, a lack of clarity around the value of the TPA/Third Party Loss Funds and the historically poor administration experienced by Lloyd’s and London Market carriers.

      Through our Loss Fund experience, over the last 6 years we have returned over £160m of funds which would be classed as “closed years” to the market and have identified several areas which may provide London Market insurers with the identification of: Written-off, Lost or Forgotten.

      The solution

      We provide a comprehensive analysis of Loss Funds held in trust, identifying and resolving any unreconciled ledgers, implementing systems and procedures to prevent future mismanagement.

  • Our global top seventh ranked captive management business provides technical solutions to captives in Europe, the U.S., Latin America, Canada, Asia, Guernsey, Australasia, and the UK.

    Our operation was initially formed in Bermuda over 40 years ago and we have expanded to cover all U.S. domiciles as well as the Cayman Islands.

    Our team delivers full service captive capabilities including feasibility studies, incorporation services, reinsurance and insurance advice, full ongoing management services, exit solutions and the Captive Syndicate at Lloyds.

    We create solutions for clients’ specific insurance requirements. Our vast experience and network of contacts in the industry enables us to create the right solution for our clients whether it be captive or rent-a captive/segregated account and also determine the risks and layers that should be retained.

    We are able to assist our clients in finding fronting and reinsurance partners as well as leading third party service providers in the industry including claims providers, actuaries, letter of credit and trust providers, investment advisors, bankers and legal advisors.

    As well as captives, we manage a number of commercial insurers and reinsurers.

    • Rent-a-captive

      Rent-a-captive is a facility whereby a client (sponsor) ‘rents’ the capital of a registered insurer to underwrite insurance business.
      No risk is retained in the rent-a-captive facility therefore all risks must be fully collateralized by premium, additional capital contributions, reinsurance or letters of credit.

      Benefits:

      • Segregated account for a client’s stand-alone insurance program
      • Underwriting profits determined by own loss experience
      • No pooling of risks with other segregated accounts
      • Robust legislation ensures that one account cannot attach to the assets and liabilities of another account

       

      Common uses:

      • Single line deductible reimbursement
      • Medical stop loss
      • Single parent risks that are too small for stand-alone captive

    • Programme design

      We have significant experience and expertise in the formation of captives. We design programs that provide for the most cost effective coverage for your insurance needs, taking into account the capital available and your appetite for risk.

      We provide independent and unbiased advice on the potential program and coordinate the consultants needed to perform the analysis and make the application submission to the domiciliary regulatory authority.

      This includes:

      Feasibility Analysis – we bring together a team of professional consultants, including actuaries and lawyers, to provide an analysis on the feasibility of the proposed underwriting and advise on the structure, financing and regulatory requirements.

      Coordination of Service Providers – we coordinate the service providers’ work to complete the application for submission to the Insurance Regulator.

      Submission to the Insurance Regulator – we are available to the Insurance Regulator to guide the application through the process to ultimate approval.

      Implementation – we coordinate the activities required to get the approved captive up and running, from initial meetings to drafting bye-laws, policy wordings, opening bank accounts and appointing on-going service providers and directors and officers.

    • Reinsurance solutions

      Through our fully licensed Bermuda broker and UK domiciled Lloyd’s Broker, we can access the Bermuda Reinsurance Market which is among the top three Reinsurance Markets in the world along with London and the USA.

      • Place reinsurance coverage on an excess of loss or quota share basis.
      • Place reinsurance coverage on an aggregate basis.
      • Access the most appropriate markets to ensure the best coverage at the most affordable price.

    Captive Management Team

  • Our Lloyd’s Managing Agent Asta, has extensive experience of launching and managing a variety of businesses at Lloyd’s, and we can now provide the same range of expertise and services to new and established Captive Owners and their Managers to help them achieve greater consistency and control over their risk management strategy.

    We achieve this by establishing a Captive Syndicate at Lloyd’s which offers, licensed paper, reduced reliance on fronting partners and competitive fees. It’s a highly effective alternative for Captive Owners to diversify their risk financing, reduce collateral requirements and minimise costs.

    The flexible platform provided by a Lloyd’s Captive Syndicate could suit any Captive writing First Party or related Third Party risks – from the large blue-chip to the smaller privately owned Captive – with multi-national risk exposure and seeking a cost-effective alternative to fronting, more control over its working insurance layers, and reduced tax and regulatory risk.

    A Captive Syndicate at Lloyd’s offers a UK domiciled and regulated Captive (re)insurance solution to common pain points experienced by both

    Captive Owners and their Managers:

    • UK domiciled and regulated Captive (re)insurance solution at Lloyd’s, offering stability and security.
    • Access to Lloyd’s global license network giving direct insurance access in over 80 countries.
    • Cost efficient relative to other Captive domiciles, depending on insured geography and current fronting fees.
    • Flexibility to accommodate fronting in territories where Lloyd’s is unlicensed.
    • A Captive Syndicate can write both first party and related third party risks and sets their own coverage, retentions and wording.
    • Reduced reliance on fronting arrangements means a Captive Syndicate has more control over risk appetite, ensuring captives have continuity of cover
    • Captive Syndicates share the financial strength rating of the Lloyd’s market:
      • AA- Fitch, A + S&P, A A.M Best
      • Resulting in lower collateral requirements where fronting arrangements are required
      • Meeting internal insurance purchasing risk appetites
      • Solvency II compliant.

  • Our Reinsurance Project Services has gained an unrivalled reputation for providing services to the Lloyd’s, London and international insurance markets since 2007.  We have successfully assisted over 15 carriers in the UK and overseas market to deliver their reinsurance TOM, supporting them through their reinsurance software transition. We have worked on the majority of reinsurance products utilised in the industry.

    In the constantly changing world of reinsurance, we supply experienced technical resource to support the business. Our services include data validation in readiness for change, support in respect of full implementation, strengthening, migration and upgrading an existing system.

    • System Implementation

      Full Implementation/Strengthening/Migration/Upgrade

      Our team offers a dedicated service to risk carriers who wish to delegate the implementation, strengthening, migration and/or upgrade of a reinsurance software to a third-party. This delegated approach reduces the impact a project will have on the clients own resource, by allowing the continuation of daily BAU roles.

      We will deliver:

      • Business justification and scoping phases
      • Mapping and coding tasks
      • Contract loading/contract review
      • UAT
      • Scenario testing
      • Financial reconciliation

    • Portfolio Strengthening & Peer Reviews

      Peer Review

      We offer a third party peer review of data held on reinsurance software, this provides clients with an independent review for internal business controls. Examples of peer reviews as follows:

      • Contract set up on outwards reinsurance systems
      • Claim recovery results on outwards reinsurance systems

    • BAU Resource

      BAU Surge Resource

      The success of deploying in-sourced project resource depends upon a deep working knowledge and the ability to adapt and integrate. We supply experienced personnel to support ceded reinsurance teams in areas such as:

      • Outwards reinsurance processing
      • Technical accounting activity

      Utilising surge resource, leaves the incumbent staff to continue with their daily roles.

    • Health Check

      Pre Migration Health Check

      In our experience prior to any migration, the key to a smooth transition lies in preparation. Most delays are caused by issues with existing data. Be that ceding data, coding or inaccuracies within the RI results themselves. A review would validate data requirements pre system conversion and could be done months before an implementation start date.

      Examples of validations are

      • Confirming source data
      • Coding requirements (may need to map to a single source)
      • Standardising free text information
      • Incomplete records (manual spreadsheets for example not being maintained).
