Antares Syndicate 1274 has expanded its stamp capacity for 2027 by 4.7%, to £445 million from £425 million in 2026.
Operating within the Lloyd’s of London market, Antares Syndicate 1274 is managed by Antares Managing Agency Limited and is wholly owned and backed by the Qatar Insurance Company (QIC) alongside its Bermudian arm, Antares Re.
The syndicate underwrites a diversified global insurance and reinsurance portfolio spanning property, casualty, marine, energy, cyber, and technology, accident & health, and political & financial risks.
The capacity expansion follows an operational restructuring carried out in 2026 aimed at streamlining internal processes, improving broker and client access to decision-makers, and fostering cross-class collaboration.
Martin Campbell, Chief Underwriting Officer and Active Underwriter at Antares, said: “Our capital strength and empowered underwriting teams have given us a solid foundation for sustainable growth in 2027, even as market conditions become more challenging.
“We have worked hard in 2026 to optimise our operational processes, delivering an organisational restructure that allows us to offer specialist support to each part of the Antares business, provide brokers and clients with better access to decision-makers and encourage cross-class collaboration.
“This supports our pursuit of a strategy that prioritises measured, targeted and diversified growth over the long term, with underwriting discipline at its heart. We are committed to being long-term partners to the right clients, providing solutions that evolve alongside their needs and helping them navigate changing market conditions with confidence.”
