CLIENTSBobcat Re is a brand new US-based MGA established by a group of private investors, including the former K2 CAT team.
At Bobcat Re we carefully select our clients and build long-term business relationships with them. Our carriers benefit from transparent and collaborative underwriting processes. We are supported in maintaining an open and effective client dialogue by our global broker network.
As empowered decision-makers, our service is proactive, disciplined, and backed by decades of experience. We deliberately just focus on the US, Japan, Canada and the Caribbean.
In-house modelling, actuarial, claims, compliance and best in class MI resources support the underwriting team. All our facilities are separate with single carriers – lines are not aggregated where more than one facility is involved on the same programme. Minimum rating for carriers is A- (AM Best or S&P).
Back-office services are supplied by Insight Risk Solutions.
Bobcat Re’s USP is the ability to build totally bespoke portfolios tailored exactly to a carrier’s specific risk appetite. We are motivated by creating profitable, durable portfolios.
Business can be accepted either via a carrier’s balance sheet; or using a fronting company; or via collateralised QS (also using a fronting company).
