Catlin Bermuda’s property treaty underwriting team writes a worldwide portfolio of property catastrophe excess of loss, risk excess of loss and pro rata treaty business.
The property treaty underwriting team consists of five underwriters, with two concentrating on non-US exposures and three, including one structured risk underwriter, concentrating on exposures in the US.
We are a quoting and lead market for all business we underwrite.
In addition to traditional catastrophe reinsurance, Catlin Bermuda specializes in multi-year aggregate transactions. We seek to differentiate ourselves through our responsiveness to client and broker needs, receptiveness to new ideas, efficient service and competitive pricing.
