Syndicates
We work with Lloyd’s syndicates, supporting them through a consortium arrangement not only to boost their line size but also to provide enriched data and insights on their portfolio.
Company Markets
We work with company markets, usually in a quota share relationship. Through the Apollo network, we can provide a broad class of offerings, especially for those markets looking for bolt-on specialty coverages.
Coverholders
We partner with coverholders with our follow capacity support and help them enhance their capabilities through process efficiency and underwriting intelligence.
London Market Brokers
We work closely with London market brokers to facilitate risk placement more efficiently. This includes creating new facilities, joining existing ones, and leveraging data feedback to enhance underwriting decisions and capacity utilisation.
Wholesale Brokers
We have developed solutions for our wholesale broker partners to make it easier to transact risks into Lloyd’s. By simplifying processes and improving access, we enhance the efficiency of placing new specialty and complex risks into the market.
