XL Catlin Launches Team to Focus on Alternative Risk Transfer Products

XL Catlin’s insurance operations has launched a new team to focus on alternative risk transfer and non-traditional insurance globally.

The team, named Structured Risk Solutions (SRS), is a dedicated global underwriting unit charged with providing XL Catlin’s clients with customized solutions for large and complex risks where there is currently no traditional insurance product offered by the market.

SRS’ offering to clients and brokers includes:

• Tailor-made risk transfer solutions for new and emerging risks for corporate clients and financial institutions;
• Multi-year, multi-line structured re/insurance solutions for captive insurance companies.

The SRS team is being led by Rob Turner, global head of SRS, who joined XL Catlin in 2015.

“We believe the market opportunity for this type of business is significant; risks are evolving and increasingly clients look to us to find non-traditional and innovative approaches to manage their exposures,” commented Paul Brand, chief underwriting officer and chairman of XL Catlin’s Insurance Leadership Team.

“We believe we have the expertise and appetite to make a real difference in this space,” he added.

The team is located in London, across European locations and is expanding to New York shortly.
