If a life is measured not by its longevity, but by our accomplishments, we believe we’ve achieved a great deal in a short time.
Our lives can be evaluated not in terms of their duration, but in terms of our accomplishments; by this measure, we believe we have achieved a great deal in our limited time.
In just a few years, we’ve gone from an inkling, to an idea, to a business that became the biggest start-up in Lloyd’s history.
We’re already recognised as a leader in the high-risk, high-capacity specialist insurance and reinsurance market. One who sees insurance differently and brings a different perspective to risk.
This is our story.
We raised $800m of capital in Q4 2020.
We bought a Lloyd’s managing agency and created Inigo. Through Lloyd’s, we gained access to a high security rating and international licences.
All legacy business was retained by the previous owner, allowing us to start 2021 with a clean balance sheet.
On 1 January 2021, we started writing Reinsurance, Property D&F and GL.
In February, we added D&O and Marine and Energy Liability.
In June 2021, we wrote our first terrorism policy.
We started writing Aviation War in Q3 2021.
$412m
We wrote $412m GWP in our first year – making us the biggest start-up syndicate in Lloyd’s history.
We added Onshore Energy and Financial Institutions in Q2 2022.
$802m
We doubled our GWP to $802m in 2022.
Hosted the first Inigo D&O panel event following the launch of our inaugural Defense Counsel Survey.
We started writing Cyber in April 2023.
We delivered a series of Inigo events: a Hackathon to aid our innovation; a Climate, Catastrophe and Capital event for property D&F and an inaugural Lloyd’s Women’s Cricket Festival.
We formed a new data-first strategic partnership with IoT company Samsara, the first of its kind in the US fleet transport sector.
$1,083m
We grew to $1,083m GWP in our third year.
We formed the Partnerships business unit in Q1 2024.
Our Partnerships team entered the US High Valued Homeowners market via our partnership with J&J/Motion Specialty.
So. Why ‘Inigo’?
Actually, there are three reasons.
One, we wanted a powerful, single word that was phonetically interesting and full of meaning.
Two, we liked Inigo Jones – an incredible architect who created some of London’s most iconic landmarks.
Three, we saw the parallels. Like Inigo, we wanted to start from nothing and build something amazing to be admired for years to come.
