About Us

Volante Global are an award winning, multi-class, international underwriting group, delivering niche, specialist (re)insurance products to a broad distribution network. Employing underwriters with a proven track record in Europe, the Middle East, Canada, and the USA, we have seen unprecedented growth since starting in 2018, growth that is set to continue over the next 3 – 5 years. In January 2022, Volante's syndicate 1699 was approved by Lloyd's under the management of Asta, adding an insurance carrier to the existing MGA model.

Guided by market-leading practitioners and powered by A+ to AA++ capacity, Volante revolutionised the MGA model by ensuring that we align with the interest of our stakeholders. Costs and commissions are kept low to ensure competitiveness, and underwriting is focussed on profit, rather than income, through a business model that sees us sharing profits with capacity providers. Support services are centralised and outsourced, and systems are modern and flexible, all adding to an agile style of working. This model is now being adapted to also apply to our syndicate.

We are not partnering with agencies on any roles unless specified by the Talent Acquisition Team. Please do not send any unsolicited emails or InMail's with resumes/CV's as they will not be accepted or credited.
