The service we provide

Our rigorous analysis and research is the key to creating a good return for our clients.

Analysis and Research

All our advice is underpinned by research and in-depth market analysis carried out by a dedicated team of analysts. The team is pivotal to us delivering market leading underwriting returns for our clients. Not only does it enable us to advise our clients, their reports and information also help our clients to gain an in-depth understanding of the market themselves.

Portfolio Planning

Through meticulous research, every portfolio takes into account the risk appetite and individual circumstances of each client.

As well as bespoke portfolios, clients have access to our packaged portfolio of quality syndicates consolidated into a managed spread of capacity. These are called Members' Agent Pooling Arrangement (MAPA) portfolios.

Not only have the returns proved to be good, it’s the most simple and straightforward way for clients to access the market and there is the benefit from the bulk buying power at this larger scale. Clients can either put some or all of their underwriting capacity into these spread portfolios.

Administrative Support

We administer the process of our clients becoming a Lloyd’s member at the outset and then manage every aspect of their Membership thereafter: ensuring the correct level of capital is maintained by the underwriting vehicle, managing the distribution of profits and ensuring all market and industry regulatory requirements are met and appropriate records and standards maintained.

Every client has a dedicated Client Director who is on hand to provide advice and ensure that we make underwriting at Lloyd’s as easy and straightforward as possible. Unique to Hampden is our dedicated client portal where clients can instantly and securely access information and updates about their underwriting.

We also provide specialist tax advice. This ranges from preparing and completing an investor’s personal tax return, to giving bespoke advice to ensure that their investment and underwriting at Lloyd’s is structured in the most optimal way. While these services are Lloyd’s focused, tax returns and advice can be provided on a range of issues.
