Randall & Quilter Investment Holdings Ltd. (R&Q) is listed on the London Stock Exchange’s Alternative Investment Market (AIM) and provides core services of legacy acquisitions and program underwriting management. The Group was founded by Ken Randall and Alan Quilter in 1991.

R&Q has a proven track record over three decades of acquiring discontinued books of non-life business and non-life (re)insurance companies and captives in run-off.

We have access to capital and the experience of managing run-off which enables us to free management and investors from the cost and constraints of handling discontinued business. We can do this on both sides of the Atlantic with our licenced platforms in the US, Bermuda and Europe.

These same licenced platforms are also crucial for R&Q’s second core service: the provision of program underwriting management services. R&Q’s US and EU-regulated (re)insurance companies act as conduits between MGAs and other niche underwriters and their capital providers, typically (re)insurers. Our platforms provide the authorised insurance paper enabling insurance entrepreneurs to develop and build their businesses in partnership with their capital providers.
