Property Reinsurance
The Property Reinsurance team writes a portfolio of Property and Short Tail Specialty reinsurance.
Property
We write a book of property and catastrophe reinsurance, operating on a worldwide basis but have a specific focus on business emanating from the US, Canada, Europe, Japan and Australasia complemented by a portfolio of business from what can be considered more emerging insurance environments.

We pride ourselves on our ability to understand our clients’ needs and to come up with ideas and suggestions to ensure a long and mutually profitable relationship over the years. To this end we enjoy seeing our clients in their own offices or at conferences in their home territory. In a sector that is becoming increasingly commoditised we value and appreciate the benefits that face-to-face transactions provide.
