SAN FRANCISCO, CA, UNITED STATES, November 12, 2024 /EINPresswire / -- Specialty MGA Annex has been granted coverholder status by Lloyd's of London. As a coverholder, Annex will now have full access to the London-based marketplace. As a result of achieving coverholder status the firm is launching a new to market private residential flood option written on Lloyd's paper.
Charlie Sido, chief executive officer of Annex said:“Having direct access to Lloyd's is crucial for our ability to meet the product expectations of our retail agencies. In addition to our new private flood offering, our agency partners can expect to see new products and capacity in the coming months as a result of achieving coverholder status.”
Annex's new private flood option complements their existing product set, bringing both inland and coastal private flood solutions to their clients.“This new flood product shows our continued commitment to meeting the demands of our customers. It also aligns with our core strategy of building a preeminent MGA focused on property-cat business” said Scott Sauter, chief underwriting officer for Annex.
The MGA currently offers multiple private residential flood solutions across 11 states, with plans for further expansion in coming months. Annex offers up to $3.3m in flood coverage, with no elevation certificate required to quote or waiting period. Policies can be quoted and bound in approximately 90 seconds. In addition to private flood, Annex also offers an E&S homeowners product focused on coastal properties in 7 states. Plans to expand this product to additional states within the next few months are already in the works.
Annex has partnered with leading digital-first insurance retailers reaching insurance consumers in new ways. All products offered by Annex are accessed by retailers directly either through an API or via annexrisk . This process allows clients to quote, bind, and issue a policy faster than many tech-forward admitted providers. As the property market continues to struggle, Annex blends a digital sale with market-leading underwriting to address the unmet needs of consumers and agents.
