Mukerjee crop 2

Beach Point Capital Management has increased its stake in Watchstone, formerly the Quindell group to more than 11%.

The US hedge fund, which says it focuses on “complex and misunderstood opportunities” has more than doubled its holding in Watchstone since last September when new chief executive Indro Mukerjee was appointed, when it owned 5% of the insurance technology company.

In its latest transaction, Beach Point raised its holding to 11.16% from 10.99%, taking it over the 11% threshold and making it Watchstone’s biggest institutional shareholder.

The 2025 Insurance Times Awards took place on the evening of Wednesday 3rd December in the iconic Great Room of London’s Grosvenor House.

Hosted by comedian and actor Tom Allen, 34 Gold, 23 Silver and 22 Bronze awards were handed out across an amazing 34 categories recognising brilliance and innovation right across the breadth of UK general insurance.
