We bring senior practitioners together for each mandate, so clients get the right expertise and one consistent standard of work, from the first conversation to the final recommendation.
Six areas of practice, each led by advisers with direct experience of the question at hand.
For insurers, MGAs and insurtechs
Where to compete and how to grow. We advise on positioning, products, distribution and partnerships, and on the plans that bring them together.
For MGAs, carriers and capacity providers
How risk is written and who backs it. We help underwriting businesses build the case for capacity and the structures that sustain it.
For corporates and risk owners
Whether, when and how to retain risk. We test captive options against governance, capital and risk appetite as rigorously as against cost.
For boards and leadership teams
Evidence for consequential decisions. Economic analysis and market intelligence that make regulated, competitive and changing markets easier to read.
For international carriers, MGAs and investors
Bringing business to and from London. Advice for businesses coming to the London market from overseas, and for London businesses looking abroad.
For business schools and leadership teams
Sharper thinking about risk and decisions. Teaching and workshops on insurance, risk, strategy, AI and decision-making for academic and professional audiences.
Organisations across the insurance market, and the businesses that depend on it.
A clear method, applied by senior people at every stage.
We agree the question, the options and what a good outcome looks like with the people who own it.
Market, economic, underwriting and operational analysis, with every assumption made explicit and tested.
We set out the trade-offs plainly and make a recommendation a board can act on.
We support implementation through to the first results, so the decision holds in practice.
Sariel Partners is organised around mandates. For each engagement we bring together senior practitioners with direct experience of the question at hand, from underwriting and distribution to economics, strategy and education.
Clients deal with senior people throughout, and every piece of work is held to the same standard of excellence.
Short views on questions our clients bring to us.
Capacity
Capacity providers back underwriters whose data they trust. A credible loss record, clean bordereaux and clear authority do more to secure a line than any presentation. New MGAs should build that case before they go to market.
Captives
Captives can lower the cost of risk and sharpen risk management, but only when the parent is ready to own the risk it keeps. Feasibility work should test governance, capital and appetite as hard as tax and cost.
Distribution
Good products fail for want of a route to market. Strategy work should start with who will sell, recommend or embed the cover, and what they need to do it well.
AI and underwriting
Models can price, triage and summarise faster than any team. The judgement about which risks to write, and on what terms, still sits with the people who answer for the result.
For advisory mandates, partnerships or executive education, write to us. Every enquiry is handled in confidence by a senior adviser.
