Binders & Programs

Binding Authorities/Delegated Authorities make up roughly 40% of our business. Amwins Global Risks is the largest broker of binding authority business into Lloyd’s, with binder premium in excess of $800 million. That’s over 11% of global binder premium. While being the largest has never been the goal, we won’t deny that our scale gives us a competitive advantage in the marketplace.  We offer a complete solution for all aspects of program business, from full delegated underwriting authority to embedded product solutions.

Is size important?

In binder business it is. It means we have teams dedicated to binder business – broking, administration, analysis - focused on accessing capacity, speeding up processing and reporting for coverholders, and improving client service with advanced modelling systems.

Areas of specialty

Starting with initial program design to ongoing contract support, we work with you every step of the way.  And we work globally across all classes. We access specialist UK markets for multiple jurisdictions, whatever the class of business - from Cat and personal lines property through to cyber, professional and financial lines and everything in between.
