Since inception in 2010, Awbury has become a global leader in its product area, both in executed transactions and the depth of its relationships and expertise. Awbury offers insurance protection for bespoke economic and financial risks via Awbury Insurance Ltd., a multi-line Bermuda-domiciled insurance company and Awbury Insurance Company, a Delaware-domiciled specialty multi-line insurer.

Backed by a panel of 20+ global (re)insurers, Awbury delivers large-scale, custom-tailored solutions for a range of client needs, including capital relief, balance sheet solutions, legacy position reduction/inventory management and “tall tree” exposure mitigation. A focus on complex opportunities has enabled Awbury to become a market leader in designing bespoke coverage for risks that do not naturally fit within existing insurance or bank offerings.
