Canopius draws senior analyst to gain ‘outside-in’ market view in growth push

Global specialty re/insurer  Canopius Group has hired a 30-year experienced analyst to gain an ‘outside-in’ perspective of its market, as it looks to explore a broad range of potential, long-term investment and funding options as part of its growth strategy.

Trevor Moss will assume the role of head of investor relations in March 2022 and will report to Canopius chief financial officer Gavin Phillips.

Moss will work with investors, analysts and banks, while playing an important role within the wider business in key areas including ESG strategy and reporting, performance management and capital planning.

Moss is an experienced analyst, leading research on UK and European insurance companies for banks and financial institutions for nearly 30 years. He joins Canopius from Agency Partners, an independent equity research provider, where he led the insurance research business since 2019. He also previously held senior analyst roles where he led insurance teams at Berenberg, MF Global and HSBC and Société Générale.

Phillips said: “I am delighted that Trevor has chosen to join Canopius. He brings a raft of experience of the insurance sector gleaned over decades, having worked with many global companies and their key stakeholders ranging from shareholders and investors to boards and executives.

“He will be a great addition to the existing financial management team and brings key capabilities as we focus on our long-term growth plans in all Canopius’s key regional hubs.”
