DA and Capacity Placements
At ES Risks, we specialise in securing capacity for Managing General Agents (MGAs) and Coverholders, with particular expertise in the placement of Delegated Authorities (DA). Our role is to connect ambitious, well-run underwriting with the right carriers, structuring arrangements that are sustainable, profitable, and aligned with long-term growth. By combining our independence with deep market knowledge, we ensure our partners have the support they need to succeed.
Where underwriting ambition meets market access
We work with businesses throughout the world to structure, place, and manage delegated underwriting arrangements, supporting both established portfolios and new ventures, as well as bringing together volume books of business across multiple insurers.
We also partner with entrepreneurial underwriters to launch new underwriting businesses, providing disciplined support from initial concept through to market access, governance, and long-term ownership and exit planning.
Working with ES Risks for your Delegated Authority
Understanding Your Business
Our first step is to understand your business. Its strengths, ambitions, and underwriting expertise. We work with you to shape a clear, confident proposition that demonstrates the strength of your portfolio and your ability to deliver, helping your business stand out in a competitive market.
Strong Market Relationships
Our strength lies in our relationships across the Lloyd’s and company markets. With direct access to key decision-makers and underwriters, we present your proposition effectively and secure the right partners matching your needs with carriers who share your vision.
Expert Structuring and Negotiation
Placing Delegated Authorities demands technical expertise and careful negotiation. We ensure terms, conditions, and reporting are structured to support sustainable performance, balancing the needs of MGAs and carriers to build trust and long-term collaboration.
Ongoing Support and Oversight
Our role continues beyond placement. Through regular reviews, market insight, and ongoing advice, we help strengthen carrier relationships, adapt to changing appetites, refine reporting, and identify new opportunities as your business grows.
