Ep211 Alex Maloney Lancashire: We’ve done what we said we would do

I can’t believe it’s been three-and-a-half years since I had Alex
Maloney on the podcast for a full episode to himself.


We’ve had brief catch-ups at Monte Carlo and when we bump into
each other in the London Market, but I haven’t had time with Alex
properly devoted to understanding what he and the Lancashire
Group is thinking.


A huge amount has happened since we last spoke, not least
Lancashire’s entry into the Casualty Treaty arena and its
decision to open up a new operation in the US Excess &
Surplus lines market.


Alex is a great guest because he is one of the most direct and
straight-talking people I have had on the show.


What you see is what you get.


And what we get here is a tour of global insurance and
reinsurance market opportunities and what Lancashire is doing to
make the most of them, with a minimum of fuss.


We also get a distillation of Lancashire’s strategy of managing
selective growth while trying to preserve a small company mindset
and culture and at the same time pitching something slightly
different to industry talent.


It’s all substance and no spin.


Listen on and I promise you’ll learn an awful lot in a very short
amount of time. You’ll also get to meet probably the straightest
shooter running a public company in our sector.


NOTES:


I let the abbreviation TIV sneak through. It is a property term
and stands for Total Insured Values.
