AIG launches syndicate at Lloyd’s for HNW segment

AIG is planning to launch a new syndicate at Lloyd’s serving the specialist U.S. high net worth market that will start writing business effective January 1, 2020, subject to regulatory approval.

Syndicate 2019 will be managed by Talbot Underwriting Limited, the managing agency acquired by AIG in 2018, and will underwrite risks in the U.S.

Syndicate 2019 will enable AIG Private Client Group (“PCG”) clients to benefit from additional products and holistic risk management solutions provided though the Lloyd’s market.

“AIG’s industry-recognized Private Client Group and its differentiated distribution network are highly compatible with Lloyd’s blueprint for innovation and sustained growth. We look forward to working closely with Lloyd’s to bring Syndicate 2019 to market, and to delivering enhanced differentiation and value to the US high net worth customer base.” – Peter Zaffino, Chief Executive Officer, General Insurance, and Global Chief Operating Officer, AIG.

“AIG Private Client Group is regarded as one of the flagship high net worth portfolios in the U.S., providing a bespoke underwriting and service proposition for its customers. We are delighted that AIG has made the strategic decision to partner with the Lloyd’s market to bring specialty niche business which wouldn’t otherwise naturally find its way into Lloyd’s. Syndicate 2019 is a significant endorsement of the Future at Lloyd’s and represents strong support for our vision to build the most advanced insurance marketplace in the world.” – Lloyd’s Chief Executive Officer, John Neal.
