Rick Lindsey is the CEO of US E&S insurer Prime Insurance Company.

The US E&S market has the most interesting dynamics anywhere in the insurance world.

Contrasting heavily with the soft global market of the past few years, some of its more stressed classes have experienced capacity withdrawal and consistent compound rate rises.

That is why I was delighted to catch up with Rick in London. Rick has been in the E&S market all his working life and knows everything there is to know about the ups and downs in this specialist field

Prime is a fast-growing, and very well performing E&S player and writes in all 50 US states

Being an owner of part of his own balance sheet gives Rick huge credibility.

He also has strong views and doesn’t pull any punches!

That’s why I can highly recommend the interview that follows:
