The underwriting at AUL is principally managed by Peter Smith, who has for many years, successfully underwritten a specialty portfolio of niche products and programmes worldwide. AUL will focus on a diverse portfolio of innovative product lines serving a variety of niche markets. AUL will underwrite insurance and reinsurance business across both Lloyd’s and Company underwriting environments, offering specialty underwriting solutions within a range of financial, casualty and multi line classes.

The underwriting success is a consequence of Amalfi’s ability to spot opportunities, develop ideas and evolve the improbable into major risk classes, through having well thought out profitable business strategies. The focus of the Amalfi portfolio is the ability to evolve both concepts and client requirements into long-term product solutions.

The inherent underwriting skills of those employed at Amalfi are suited to innovative insurance underwriting, skilfully combining an ability to listen and comprehend customer needs and a talent for precise detail with an intuitive conceptual approach to product innovation.

The core principals that surround both the specialty liability and financial business portfolios are:

• Enforce strict underwriting discipline and market responsibility
• Operate generally as a sole insurer or market leader
• Operate directly with insureds and through London market brokers; and
• Underwrite what we understand and not what simply looks attractive.
