Lloyd’s re/insurer MS Amlin and sister company Mitsui Sumitomo Insurance Company UK (Europe) have launched a new dual-stamp underwriting capability in a bid to expand their London Market footprint. The arrangement will enable underwriters to write risks across one or both capacity sources, initially for natural resources, trade credit and political risk and accident and health lines.

Andrew Carrier, CEO of MS Amlin, said: “We’re committed to driving growth by exploring innovative ways to distribute our products, access new clients and bring more business into the London market.

“This solution simplifies trading for brokers, providing a single gateway to secure capacity in the Lloyd’s and company markets, broader coverage options and greater flexibility over risk placement.

“By partnering with MSIG UK, we can leverage our combined reach to unlock new markets and underwriting opportunities, creating greater value for our business and brokers.”
