Ex-Validus team focus on tech potential at Ventus MGA

Start-up MGA Ventus Risk Management, led by former Validus Re
executives Stuart Mercer and George Reeth, is preparing to separate
the firm's technology platform from its MGA entity with a view
to monetising its technology.
The news was reported by sister publication Trading
Risk last week, as it revealed that the MGA had
signed up a top five insurance-linked securities (ILS) manager to
provide it with capacity for its portfolio of small-to-medium-size
enterprise commercial US insurance business.
