Operating for and on behalf of Syndicate 1414 at Lloyd’s, which is managed by Ascot Underwriting Ltd., we offer North American customers property reinsurance products for risks that traditionally have been placed with the domestic reinsurance markets. Our innovative products can be accessed through a reinsurance intermediary, and we will analyze exposure at any level of attachment to structure a product that fulfils their reinsurance needs.
