Distribution channels
- Non-proportional business is written through brokers in most markets.
- For facultative business a local presence is normally necessary; local representative offices and branches are established whenever this enables us to better serve our clients and hence enjoy improved access to business.
- Treaty business is written centrally on principle (maximum allocation of capacity and efficient deployment of capital)
