Lloyd’s and the London market are firmly established as global leaders in the specialty markets. We believe there is a real opportunity in the specialty markets and Jubilee’s existing platform focuses on specialty insurance – specialties that we know. This acquisition will allow us to introduce and support new products and programs in global markets in a meaningful way. Jubilee’s presence within Lloyd’s uniquely enhances the execution of our overall strategy of offering and delivering preeminent providers of specialty products and services to the insurers, brokers and agents we serve.”
