Aviva expands financial institutions underwriting across UK regions

Aviva is expanding its Financial Institutions underwriting capability across the UK, adding four specialist underwriters to its regional network.

Beginning this month, the insurer will provide Financial Institutions underwriting expertise through offices in the Midlands & South, North of England, and Scotland, building on its existing London operation.

The proposition, part of Aviva’s Global, Corporate & Specialty business, targets FCA-regulated organizations including investment managers, investment funds, building societies, mutuals, friendly societies, and other financial services businesses.

The offering includes five products: Directors & Officers, Fund Directors & Officers Liability, Investment Management Insurance, Professional Indemnity, and Crime cover.

Aviva said the regional expansion is intended to give brokers faster access to underwriting decisions and technical support as it looks to grow its Financial Institutions business across the UK.
