PEMBROKE, Bermuda, Nov. 4 AlliedWorld-new-pdt
PEMBROKE, Bermuda, Nov. 4 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Allied World Assurance Company, Ltd, a member company of Allied World Assurance Company Holdings, Ltd (NYSE: AWH) today announced the launch of a new product for Asian banks.
Bankers' Wrap follows the recent launch of the REFLEX, FLEXCESS and FLEXION products and highlights Allied World's ongoing commitment to adding value to the Asian marketplace. The product, unique to the Asian market, provides a new level of protection for Banks at a time when they are facing significant litigation exposures and an uncertain operational risk outlook.
Benjamin Howell, Vice President, Professional Lines, commented from Hong Kong, "Many market participants are restricting coverage for banks at a time when their clients need them most. Conversely, Allied World has stepped up with an innovative excess solution through which banks can achieve a range of structures, with unique benefits, across their Professional Lines insurance placements. Bankers' Wrap is Allied World Hong Kong's recognition that bank operational risk management is a sophisticated area which requires a customized approach to catastrophic events."
The product is available through a limited number of specialist broker channels with a limit of up to US$25,000,000.
