Putting intelligence at the top of the agenda

Bringing together deep market expertise and experience from both the reinsurance and insurance arenas, we have a truly comprehensive understanding of the business transacted and are uniquely positioned to deliver a different and highly-informed perspective to the reinsurance process.

“We de-mystify the specialty classes to a reinsurance world that is largely dominated by generalists.”

Our risk insights also mean we have the ability to identify trends, potential challenges and their implications on both the insurance and reinsurance market at an early stage,  and is a key consideration in both the treaty solutions and the reinsurance carriers we recommend.

We provide our customers with a connected and considered approach to reinsurance: Lockton Re’s Specialty Division is supported by a team of dedicated actuaries, each of whom has specific expertise in specialty classes, helping our customers carefully navigate through the challenges of a dynamic and constantly evolving marketplace.

A recognised trusted partner on either side of the transaction

Close and collaborative relationships with reinsurance markets results in an in-depth knowledge of capacity and pricing, the pressures on supply, and insight into reinsurance panels and alternative risk transfer solutions.

Working in all Reinsurance Specialty classes with particular expertise in:

  • War, Terrorism & Political Violence

  • Political Risk & Credit

  • Contingency

  • Product Recall

  • Crisis Management & Product Recall

  • Kidnap & Ransom/Contingency

“Our Specialty team has seen great growth over the last 18 months across multiple classes of business. There is a real need to provide a differentiated approach and solve for the lack of choice in reinsurance advice and broking in this ever important and complex area.”
