Faraday has ceased writing US directors' and officers' (D&O) insurance.
The Lloyd's insurer confirmed to Insurance Times this week that its D&O operation at Lloyd's, which consists of two underwriters, had stopped writing business immediately.
This resulted from a decision by US parent company General Re.
Faraday stressed that the withdrawal from this line of business was not a negative reflection on the underwriters and commended them for "stabilising a difficult situation", particularly due to the challenging conditions in the US at present.
Chief executive Milan Vukelic explained the move, saying: "This is a line of business which, from our perspective and to our standards, cannot be written to a sufficiently high degree of an expectation of profit."
He added: "The US corporate liability line of business accounts for approximately 6% of our 2002 stamp capacity. Given the size of the business, our actions reflect a tactical rethink rather than a major strategic shift."
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.
