What’s driving the wave of shifting ownership structures in the Lloyd’s market?
The M&A cycle underway at Lloyd’s is reshaping the landscape, with new models emerging. One recent example is the combination of a mortgage and Lloyd’s specialty insurer, following Radian’s $1.7bn acquisition of Inigo.
Radian CEO Rick Thornberry describes it as a “winning combination,” offering non-correlating exposure and an outlet for excess capital. Meanwhile, Inigo CEO Richard Watson is preparing to release the firm’s “second album” – this time with permanent capital backing rather than the uncertainty of private equity.
