Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Behind the Headlines: Paul Brand on Convex’s next phase of growth
Q: How do MGA plans fit into Convex's broader strategy, and what is the rationale for expanding into those areas?
Convex is exploring MGAs as a strategic adjacent line to broaden its addressable market and attract different talent, while ensuring these ventures align with existing capabilities in technology, compliance, and operations. The aim is to complement the carrier business rather than replicate it exactly, maintaining a focus on core strengths.
Behind the Headlines: Paul Brand on Convex’s next phase of growth
Q: What is Convex doing to compete in a soft market, and how do technology and productivity play into that?
Convex emphasizes client relationships, relevance in the market, and strong claims paying as core to its proposition, while pushing for productivity through automation where possible and keeping underwriting judgment for high-value decisions. This combination is designed to deliver faster, clearer responses to clients and brokers, which is crucial in a slower market.
Behind the Headlines: Paul Brand on Convex’s next phase of growth
Q: Can you explain how the Onex and AIG deal was structured and why this ownership configuration was chosen?
The ownership is essentially evergreen: Onex moved its funds onto its balance sheet and took 62% ownership, management holds about 2%, and AIG holds 35%. This structure preserves Convex's independence while giving the company strategic backing and stability to pursue growth without forcing a sale in a changing market.
Behind the Headlines: Ex-Brit CEO Matthew Wilson on the power of insurance philanthropy
Q: How did your experience in the corporate world translate to your philanthropic efforts with Blood Cancer UK, and what have you learned about leading a fund?
The insurance industry is inherently philanthropic; I found a professional, well-organized sector to collaborate with, built a strong network for fundraising, and learned that transparent allocation to research helps sustain impact and trust among contributors.
Behind the Headlines: Ex-Brit CEO Matthew Wilson on the power of insurance philanthropy
Q: Can you walk us through your career and how you ended up leading Brit Insurance before your health setback?
I started in property and binders at a young age, joined the Brit startup after the ACES leadership left to form Brit, gradually took on more responsibilities, and ultimately ran the company by 2018 before my life changed with a cancer diagnosis.
