Jubilee Managing Agency Ltd
Jubilee Managing Agency has been a leading pioneer of bespoke insurance solutions in the personal lines market for over 30 years. Until recently they traded both as Jubilee and Cassidy Davis. As they grew and diversified it seemed sensible to them to consolidate their business under a single brand that reflects the true scale and scope of their operations. That brand, of course is Jubilee.

They trade predominantly within the Lloyd's insurance market. Lloyd’s reputation for underwriting excellence and its stringent financial security requirements are recognised around the world. As established participants in this market, they are confident in their ability to deliver the right solution no matter how big or small the challenge.

Correlation RIsk Partners
Compass Underwriting is very pleased to provide comprehensive administrative services to the newly re-named Correlation Risk Partners (previously known as Hollard Risk Partners) for their wide range of insurance products and their Gibraltar based insurance company, Red Sands Insurance

Correlation Risk Partners was established in 2004. They have changed their name to better reflect their approach to business. The correlation coefficient represents the alignment of two variables, their partners and them. All of their interests are aligned and their combined business ensures enhanced value for all.

They represent the European insurance interests of the Capricorn Group and are focused on building a substantial insurance business in the UK and Europe.

The companies whom Correlation Risk Partners represent are all part of the same group. Hollard Insurance Group has net assets in excess of £800 million and operates as a single business with both general (short term) and life licences. Lombard is the largest surety underwriter in Southern Africa with most of the blue chip companies as clients. Red Sands has shareholder equity of over £11m and in 2008 achieved a profit of £2.8m.

The ethos of strong partnership permeates the group and is fundamental to our philosophy. Correlation has achieved its success by seeking out and nurturing mutually beneficial relationships with clients. This approach, combined with detailed underwriting research provides the platform for new and mutually profitable business opportunities.
