“The new operation will retain all existing regulated insurance entities. Brokers and clients will be able to access their existing contacts in the same way as before.”
Christopher L. Peirce, President of Liberty Mutual Insurance Group’s Global Specialty business unit, said: “With access to different paper across the business, and a geographic spread from Central and South America to the Middle East, the new integrated structure will make it easier for customers and partners to do business with us as we leverage our scale and expertise. I believe the merger will allow us to use capital more efficiently and to improve our portfolio management.”
Liberty Specialty Markets will seek opportunities for growth and improved performance, while continuing to provide its current wide range of product capability and capacity for specialty markets worldwide.
