Behind the Headlines: InsurX’s Gilbert Harrap on the evolving world of smart follow
Q: What makes the London market a good place for this technology, and how is InsurX positioned in that ecosystem?

InsurX enables brokers to access capacity from insurers in a tech-enabled way, starting with follow and now expanding to lead trading and broader smart trading, with a mission to connect any broker and any insurer to trade risk without friction.
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.
