Facultative property risk in Latin America for Syndicate 1084

Chaucer has opened a new office in Buenos Aires, Argentina, to target facultative property and related risks in Latin America on behalf of Chaucer Syndicate 1084.

Uwe Fischer will be General Manager and will be joined by Alejandro Ferrin and Guido Wolman, all formally from Glacier Re. The Latin America office intends to service business from 1 October 2010.

Latin America

Bob Stuchbery, chief executive officer, said: "I am delighted to announce the launch of our new Argentina office and welcome a great new team to Chaucer.

“Building on their extensive property facultative capabilities, we are confident that we can develop a high quality and successful business in Latin America.”

Lloyd’s strength

Fischer said: "As a team, we recognise the importance of being able to offer clients regional service and international underwriting excellence, underpinned by the secure financial strength of Lloyd's.

“This initiative provides an excellent opportunity for Chaucer to develop our underwriting in Latin America."
