Vantage launches US primary casualty line in expansion move
Specialty re/insurance group Vantage has expanded its casualty insurance offerings to include US primary casualty.
Vantage, which already offers Bermuda and US excess casualty products, said the move continued the company's expansion of specialty insurance capabilities for its brokers and clients.
Stephen DiMarco (pictured right) will lead underwriting for primary casualty in the US, reporting to Denise Watkins (pictured left), head of casualty.
“Vantage's new US primary casualty team builds on its US and Bermuda excess casualty expertise and sustained portfolio growth,” the company said. “The company's diverse primary capabilities span a broad range of general liability classes nationally with a venue-focused underwriting approach. Dedicated casualty claims expertise, risk mitigation strategies, and tailored solutions round out the offering.
“Vantage's primary casualty coverages are written on a non-admitted basis nationwide and available through wholesale surplus lines brokers.”
Watkins said: "We're committing further to our speed of response with this new offering, enabled through Vantage's industry-leading underwriting platform and data-empowered decision making.
"I'm confident in Stephen's expertise, understanding of niche industries and specialised risks, and his dedication to serving our brokers and clients.”
