With an expert team of highly skilled and experienced underwriters and a geographically diverse portfolio of short-tail business, Talbot Underwriting Ltd (Talbot) has earned a reputation as an industry-leading insurance and reinsurance specialist.
Operating in the Lloyd’s Insurance Market through Syndicate 1183, Talbot writes a broad range of insurance and reinsurance classes of business. In order to achieve a balanced portfolio no single class of business dominates the overall premium income of the syndicate.
A strategy for success – our underwriting philosophy is to maximize our return on equity, subject to prudent risk constraints, on the amount of capital we expose to any single event. This underwriting philosophy runs alongside our adherence to our enterprise risk management strategy and the maintenance of a conservative investment approach which focuses on preserving capital and liquidity. We primarily write short-tail insurance and reinsurance business, giving superior risk and return characteristics. In this way, we aim to create franchise value while maximizing sustainable long-term growth in shareholder value.
Drawing on our deep industry expertise, Talbot develops tailored insurance solutions that address clients’ evolving and often unique needs. In particular, we write a comprehensive marine account complemented by aviation, transport, energy, terrorism, political risk, accident and health, construction, contingency, financial lines, property and treaty reinsurance.
