Commercial (Re)Insurance
SRS provides independent solutions for the management of commercial insurance and reinsurance ventures.
We have been managing insurance entities for over 25 years with an alternative risk transfer emphasis. Our insurance capabilities cover the full range of commercial insurers (e.g. Classes 3 to 4 in Bermuda; Classes B(iii), C and D in Cayman Islands); mutual insurance companies; special purpose vehicles; protected cell, incorporated cell and segregated cell facilities of commercial carriers; and other commercially licensed insurance entities. Collectively, our managed insurance entity clients write over $8 billion in annual gross written premiums.
We are Full Service
We provide a full range of insurance management services from formation to on-going management.
Formation Services
Our insurance management and consulting services can bring a prospective insurance or reinsurance business to reality with licensing and supporting the commencement of underwriting. Our formation services include assistance in drafting corporate policies, assistance with financial modeling, filing of licensing applications and the selection of service providers.

I used SRS's consulting services before we were an SRS client. The folks are smart, quick, strategic in thinking. The displays were professional and well-explained.
