Centre of excellence
We focus on delivering the highest level of service to our Brokers and customers, which is why our specialist underwriting team is solely dedicated to delegated authority arrangements.
Claims
We want to support our partners in doing what is right for each of our delegated authority arrangements. Our preference is to manage claims internally, but we can consider supporting a delegated claims journey, either way, our experienced team will be able to support you at every step of the process.
Support with governance and oversight
We have a dedicated inhouse team that are fully versed in the required compliance and regulatory factors that are necessary to do business. We are experienced in asking the right questions that are customer focussed and compliant to FCA regulation and ensure that our brokers are suitably protected.
Working for a brighter future
At Zurich, we are committed to creating sustainable value, something we demonstrate via numerous initiatives and dedication of both time and money.
See the Zurich Sustainability Hub for more information.
Our risk appetite
Our delegated authority proposition offers specialist insurance that can be tailored to the needs of our partners and their customers. Our approach to underwriting recognises the importance of balance when it comes to appetite, therefore we have adopted a more holistic view of acceptance, taking into account key characteristics within subsegments and industries. Our aim is to deliver solutions to target niche markets that we wouldn’t look to write as part of our standard distribution.
Underwriting expertise
We look to work with cover holders with at least 5 years’ experience in the sector, with a strong understanding of the needs of the customer base and of the proposition and coverage solutions that best meet their needs.
A joint appreciation for our core values
Working together in a partnership to deliver good and fair outcomes for our customers, taking into account robust controls and governance principles.
Profitable arrangements of £1m GWP or more
Arrangements under £1m GWP can be considered.
Readily available data
We would look for comprehensive premium, exposure and loss ratio data.
A connection to an accredited trade body
If applicable to the sector, a relationship with an accredited trade body would be beneficial to help demonstrate the breadth of experience you can draw upon.
Sustainability
We are looking to develop our experience and understanding of new, sustainable risks.
