Axis to go live with managing agency

Axis Capital has received final authorisation from Lloyd's and
the UK's financial regulators to launch its own managing agent,
the carrier revealed today.
Effective from 4 August, Axis Managing Agency will assume the
running of Axis Syndicate 1686 at Lloyd's, replacing
third-party managing agent Asta, which has been in place since
2014.
Syndicate 1686 underwrites specialty classes including marine,
energy, aviation, terrorism, property, casualty, professional
indemnity and reinsurance.
