What our clients say
Having Asta by our side enabled us to take the best route to Lloyd’s and establish the most appropriate platform to support the initial growth of our business.
The daunting process from original business plan to approval was managed calmly and confidently by the Asta team, and is testimony to their expertise in successfully bringing new businesses to Lloyd’s.
With Asta’s support, we have proved that we can run a profitable business and are in a position, via our stand-alone syndicate, to grow and create even more value for our staff, investors and Lloyd’s.
We needed the right partner that not only shared our vision, but worked with us to navigate the cultural, legal and regulatory obstacles. The team at Asta advised us on the best course for our launch and helped us establish the secure platform needed to support our future growth.
The team at Asta immediately recognised the unique opportunity to bring diverse capital to Lloyd’s. This was combined with an innovative product that offered a new way for reinsurance buyers to manage their catastrophe exposures.
Asta’s advocacy in ensuring Lloyd’s understood and shared a vision that was aligned to their own objectives was key to our approval.
