Vantage Group starts offering US primary casualty insurance

Bermuda-based Vantage Group has expanded its casualty insurance offerings to include US primary casualty. 

Vantage, which already offers Bermuda and US excess casualty products, said the move continued the company's expansion of specialty insurance capabilities for its brokers and clients. 

“Vantage's new US primary casualty team builds on its US and Bermuda excess casualty expertise and sustained portfolio growth,” the company said. “The company's diverse primary capabilities span a broad range of general liability classes nationally with a venue-focused underwriting approach. Dedicated casualty claims expertise, risk mitigation strategies, and tailored solutions round out the offering. 

“Vantage's primary casualty coverages are written on a non-admitted basis nationwide and available through wholesale surplus lines brokers.”

Denise Watkins, head of casualty, said:  "We're committing further to our speed of response with this new offering, enabled through Vantage's industry-leading underwriting platform and data-empowered decision making. 

"I'm pleased to share that Stephen DiMarco will lead underwriting for primary casualty, reporting to me. I'm confident in Stephen's expertise, understanding of niche industries and specialised risks, and his dedication to serving our brokers and clients.”
