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”.

Gibraltar licenses new PCC

Reprints

GIBRALTAR—A new protected cell company has been licensed in Gibraltar.

Martello Insurance PCC Ltd. was granted a license by the Gibraltar Financial Services Commission to write all classes of general insurance.

"We anticipate significant demand for Martello cells, both from clients wishing to retain risk in a direct writing vehicle and also as a fronting facility for reinsurance captives or for non-(European Union) direct writing captives, " said Tadhg Crowley, Martello's managing director, in a statement.

Basing the insurer in Gibraltar allows it to write insurance directly into E.U. countries without using fronting arrangements.

The new insurer is managed by Caledonian Insurance Management Services.
