Specialty risk deserves a specialist’s attention. We read every submission closely, give brokers clear answers, and stay with the account long after it binds.
Specialty risks reward people who know them well. Our underwriters understand the exposures, the loss drivers and the coverage details that a generalist would miss, and they build terms around the risk as it really is.
We apply the same standards to every submission. That consistency is what lets us say yes with confidence, and it means a decline comes quickly and with a reason you can share with your client.
We measure relationships in renewals, not transactions. Brokers work directly with the underwriter on the account, and that underwriter stays with it from the first quote through every renewal after.
Four stages, with one underwriter accountable for the account at each of them.
Email the account to our new business desk with applications, loss history and exposure details. We confirm receipt and tell you which underwriter has it.
A specialist underwriter works through the exposure. Any questions come back to you together, so you are not answering them one at a time.
You receive terms built around the risk and the reasoning behind them. If the account is not a fit, we tell you plainly and early.
Send the bind request, clear the subjectivities, and the policy is issued. The same underwriter stays on the account and plans the renewal with you.
