Atrium Underwriters has expanded its partnership with InsurX Limited, a smart follow technology provider.
Atrium’s Syndicate 609, an already recognised smart lead on the platform, is set to participate on InsurX as an independent smart follow market.
This allows Atrium to follow its own lead property Direct and Facultative (D&F) lines through the InsurX algorithmic engine – a first for the industry, according to the firm.
The announcement comes as the partnership celebrates a major financial milestone, as over US$100 million in smart follow GWP has been bound through the consortium since inception.
This figure underscores a rapid shift in broker adoption and the increasing reliance on rules-based, frictionless trading with the property market.
Nick Leppard, Head of Property D&F at Atrium, commented: “With nearly US$100 million in GWP bound under our existing smart follow consortium, we see clear value in algorithmic underwriting for complex risks.
“Expanding our involvement via InsurX’s smart follow technology demonstrates our unwavering commitment to delivering a consistent and efficient route to capacity for our brokers and clients.”
Since January 2024, InsurX has offered algorithmic follow capacity behind Atrium’s lead property D&F lines, enabling brokers to quickly and efficiently access follow capacity behind a recognised market lead.
Adding an independent smart follow capacity boosts indexation across the InsurX platform, allowing more Atrium risks through the smart follow mechanism.
This offers brokers greater flexibility and access to more Atrium lines, while expanding the flow of risks seen by insurers through a transparent, rules-based algorithm.
Gilbert Harrap, Co-Founder & CEO of InsurX, said: “Atrium has been one of our flagship Smart Leads from day one, and their decision to follow their own lead line through InsurX is a powerful endorsement of the model. It demonstrates real confidence in their underwriting and in our technology.
“For brokers, it means simpler, faster access to additional Atrium capacity; for the panel, it increases indexation and the volume of risks seen across the platform. It is also a clear sign of the growth we’re seeing in smart follow adoption; and a trend the market will be watching closely as we move into 2026.”
