The entity, known as Intouch Insurance, accounted for £27m net written premiums in 2014.
Global insurer RSA is to sell its entire Russian operations, Intouch Insurance, to Russian non-state pension fund Blagosostoyanie for £5m, subject to regulatory approval.
Intouch Insurance, or RSA Russia, had net written premiums of £27m in RSA’s 2014 group results, making an underwriting loss of £5m.
RSA group chief operating officer Paul Whittaker said: “Our business in Russia does not have the same scale as our core franchises in the UK, Canada and Scandinavia.
“Therefore we have decided to sell Intouch to a company that is an experienced and committed player in the Russian market.”
Blagosostoyanie has experience making acquistions from UK insurers, purchasing Aviva’s Russian life and pensions operations in 2013 for £25.4m.
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.
