Ep 80 Matthew Shaw CUO of TMK: The most submissions for a decade

As Chief Underwriting Officer of Tokio Marine Kiln (TMK) Matthew
Shaw has one of the top ten individual underwriting jobs in the
London market, marshalling a stamp capacity of one and a half
billion pounds at one of Lloyd’s best-known lead markets,
Syndicate 510. In many ways this business is a microcosm of the
London Market as a whole. A soft market fall into loss was
followed by significant re-underwriting. Then the business
bounced significantly back into profit in 2019, only to take a
large short-tail hit from Covid in 2020, which it has weathered
undaunted. 2021 has seen a bullish 14.9 percent pre-emption in
capacity amid the heady combination of significant growth in
submissions and continually improving underwriting conditions
across the market. Matthew is very easy to talk to and together
we embark on a comprehensive tour of his views on the market,
market reform and innovation, culture change and where TMK fits
into it all.
