Liberty Specialty Markets (LSM) was established as the international b-to-b specialty arm of Liberty Mutual Group in 2013 at which point it rebranded and shortly after moved its HQ to 20 Fenchurch Street. The LSM business brings together Liberty’s syndicate, commercial and treaty reinsurance businesses.
It is now a $8.1bn business with over 2,000 employees operating across 60 offices in Europe, LatAm, AsiaPac and the US. The business is strongly committed to building its brand supported by service propositions in claims and underwriting and investment in marketing and especially its people and the wider community. Today the business sponsors the arts through the Liberty Specialty Markets Art Award programme and has built strongly on the central brand theme of mutuality.
Prior to its launch the business was often described as a ‘sleeping giant’ and a previous CEO set the ambition at the time as “moving LSM from Premier to Champions League”. A well-managed underwriting business, excellent claims offering and single-minded approach to brand-building, strongly supported by Matthew Moore its CEO, has seen the business move from a confusing group of parts to a prestigious and highly respected global specialty business. Without doubt, these days the company is in the P&C ‘Champions League’, with a platform that is strongly placed for a truly global future.
