BI’s Article search uses Boolean search capabilities. If you are not familiar with these principles, here are some quick tips.

To search specifically for more than one word, put the search term in quotation marks. For example, “workers compensation”. This will limit your search to that combination of words.

To search for a combination of terms, use quotations and the & symbol. For example, “hurricane” & “loss”.

Pioneer to underwrite Liberty Syndicate business at Lloyd's

Reprints

Pioneer Underwriting Ltd., a managing general agent owned by London-based brokerage BMS Group Ltd., has begun to underwrite business on behalf of Liberty Syndicate Management Ltd.'s syndicate 4472 via binding authorities.

Pioneer, acting as a coverholder, has an incidental syndicate number 1980, and will operate within syndicate 4472 but underwrite only Pioneer-sourced business backed by capital from Pioneer, Liberty and third-party capital providers, according to a statement Tuesday.

That operation began writing business effective Jan. 1, 2014, and will have capacity of £70 million ($115.4 million) in its first year of operation, according to the statement.

“I am delighted that we have realized a key goal in the Pioneer growth story of launching Pioneer at Lloyd's,” said Pioneer CEO Darren Doherty in the statement.

“This additional capacity and direct access to a Lloyd's syndicate will widen our offering to brokers and clients,” he added.
