Independence by Design

"You can't reshape strategy from inside someone else's framework."

Fifteen years in the London Market structuring complex programmes for listed, private and governmental clients. I'd seen too many good businesses carrying risks no one had properly explained to them. So I left to take a sharper approach.

How I work

It starts with your business: how it operates, where its liabilities sit, and what your capital priorities, contracts and risk appetite require. Your risk profile is individual to you, so your programme should be optimised to your profile.

Structured well, (re)insurance is a capital decision.

Transferring the right exposures releases capital that would otherwise sit against your liabilities. That lowers volatility on the balance sheet and frees funds to deploy across the business.

None of this is revolutionary. It's the discipline of focusing on what matters, and keeping the process simple.
