Helios Underwriting (HUW): Timing its growth with the insurance cycle

Over the last few months, Helios has transformed itself. Having raised £64m, and acquired over £10m of additional capacity, it has greatly increased its ability to add to its exposure to its desired Lloyds syndicates. It can do this through continuing to acquire new vehicles, increasing its retention by reducing its quota share arrangement, or obtaining tenancy agreements with existing syndicates. The timing for doing this looks ideal: after several years of losses, premium rates have been increasing strongly since 2018. Notwithstanding the recent COVID-19-related claims, the prospects for improved underwriting results are very good.
