Insurance Insider - Behind the Headlines
<p><b>What is the strategic thinking behind The Fidelis Partnership’s unique business model?</b></p>
<p>According to CEO Richard Brindle the firm is now increasingly perceived by balance sheet reinsurers as a distributor, as opposed to a direct competitor.</p>
<p>He tells <b>Behind the Headlines</b> that the diverse structure – including backing from a listed balance sheet, plus two Lloyd’s syndicates and MGA incubator Pine Walk – is the best thing he has built in his career</p>
<p>The firm is ploughing ahead with its strategy to expand in high growth global markets beyond insurance’s traditional heartlands – an area where he says the wider industry’s track record has been “woeful”.</p>
<p>In a typically forthright interview, the serial entrepreneur also shares his views on the 1.1 reinsurance renewals, opportunities linked to data centres, and the work ethic in the City.</p>
