BHSI underwrites on a net capacity basis without accessing the reinsurance markets, which translates to flexible coverage design and responsive, local decision-making for customers, from underwriting through claims.

Francesco Longobardo, Head of Casualty, Italy, BHSI, commented, “We are pleased to launch our modular, proprietary primary casualty solution, expressly designed to meet our customers’ need for simplicity, clarity and transparency in managing casualty risk. This marks another significant step in building a sustainable, long-term business in the Italian market.”

Leonardo Castrichino, Country Manager, Italy, BHSI, added, “The introduction of these policies is another milestone in our steady expansion in Italy.

“We look forward to continuing to grow, hiring talented professionals, launching new products, entering new segments, and expanding our geographical presence”
