Validus creates Swiss underwriting company
Validus will establish a Swiss underwriting company, transforming the existing operations of Flagstone Reassurance Suisse S.A. The Company will be renamed pending regulatory approval and will enhance Validus Reinsurance’s global underwriting platform including the establishment of a presence in Continental Europe.
The new company will allow Validus’ reinsurance teams to work more closely with customers in their respective markets through the establishment of local branch offices. The Company anticipates underwriting existing Validus Re Latin America and agricultural reinsurance business onto the Company paper starting on January 1, 2014. The Company also intends to write US and European property treaty reinsurance business.
“We are excited to announce this important development for Validus which capitalises on the strategic, regulatory and financial benefits of adding a Swiss underwriting platform,” said Kean Driscoll, CEO of Validus Re. “Validus is a leader in reinsurance and insurance and we are constantly seeking ways to work more closely with our clients and provide the products they need. A Swiss presence is another step in the evolution of Validus as we continue to develop our global underwriting platform.”
