AEGIS London partners with McGill and Partners
AEGIS London and McGill and Partners have formed a digital partnership aimed at modernizing how specialty risk is placed, using a technology-driven approach to streamline quoting and binding across multiple lines of business.
The collaboration aligns AEGIS London’s risk appetite with McGill and Partners’ client portfolio through a platform that algorithmically identifies eligible risks, generates quotes, and binds cover in line with a lead underwriter’s terms. The goal is to reduce friction in a traditionally complex placement process while maintaining underwriting discipline.
Underwriters will gain access to a bespoke dashboard offering greater transparency into risk selection and exposure management. By automating the quote-and-bind workflow based on predefined underwriting criteria, the partners expect faster placements and improved operational efficiency without compromising standards.
Clients benefit from quicker access to follow capacity that mirrors lead terms, conditions, and pricing, providing greater certainty around placement outcomes.
The initiative is powered by McGill and Partners’ proprietary Underscore broking platform and is designed to scale across additional partners over time.
“We’re excited to launch this digital partnership with AEGIS London. It is built on our shared ambition to deliver smarter, digitally-enabled solutions for the benefit of our clients and drive real change in our industry. At its core, it will deliver what our clients value the most: speed, certainty, and high-quality capacity. By streamlining the placement process, we unlock our brokers’ ability to leverage the wider market more effectively, which will result in a superior client experience.” – Steve McGill, CEO at McGill and Partners.
“This represents a transformative approach in how we use dedicated data analysis to inform and enhance underwriting decisions. By combining advanced analytics with innovative digital trading capabilities, we’re creating a platform that not only simplifies access but deepens collaboration with brokers for the benefit of our clients. Underwriting excellence remains at the heart of AEGIS London, and this initiative builds on that through data-driven risk selection. The ability to automatically identify eligible risks and deliver quote-and-bind functionality based on predefined underwriting criteria demonstrates a significant step forward in delivering a truly digital and dynamic trading capability to the market.” – Alex Powell, CEO of AEGIS London.
