Changes in the admitted markets and Lloyd’s specifically have led to the rapid growth of the excess and surplus lines markets in the US—a phenomenon that is showing no sign of slowing, Jason Liu, chief executive of insurtech Zywave, tells Intelligent Insurer.
Lloyd’s remains central to the growth plans of many carriers targeting the Latin American region, a function epitomised by the role it plays at Miami Reinsurance Week. Dawn Miller, Commercial Director, and Hank Watkins, Regional director and President, Americas, Lloyd’s, spoke to Intelligent Insurer.

In our special LatAm focus during March 2024, Intelligent Insurer will reflect on and review the highs and lows of this huge, opportunity-filled region, starting with this look back at the conference.
The risk transfer industry needs more capital—but ILS investors are interested only if returns reach more attractive levels that meet or exceed long-term target returns for risk assets, Dirk Lohmann, chairman of Schroders Capital ILS, told Intelligent Insurer.
Insurers can help the sector deal with these complex and interrelated pressures using innovative solution services, says Valarie Jonas, director of Construction Claims at Markel.
