About MS Amlin Underwriting Limited
The MS Amlin group of companies delivered approximately £2.8bn of premium in 2021, around half of which was placed via the Lloyd’s platform through Syndicate 2001, one of the largest Lloyd’s syndicates.
Operating through its Lloyd’s Syndicate, MS Amlin writes a diverse (re)insurance portfolio, supporting clients with complex (re)insurance needs from its offices in the heart of London’s insurance district and from its local hubs in the US, Asia and the Middle East.
Our portfolio is split into three Divisions: Property & Allied Lines, Specialty and Reinsurance. Specialty comprises 4 departments (Casualty, Marine, Natural Resources and Crisis Management) and Reinsurance covers a mix of property, casualty and specialty lines.
Each Division is approximately the same size, in terms of the planned premium income.
We are wholly owned by Mitsui Sumitomo Insurance Group and regulated by the Prudential Regulation Authority, the Financial Conduct Authority and Lloyd’s.
