Adrian’s background stems from the Lloyd’s Market at the global brokerage Howden, so I learnt the trade in the preeminent insurance marketplace. There, as a Broker, I negotiated reinsurance, placed binding authorities and also developed market leading stochastic loss-forecasting models to estimate loss payouts and reinsurance pricing costs.I then went on to design and build the London InsurTech firm, Quantemplate and, as Founding CEO, successfully launched the enterprise in the U.S. in 2015 where it now derives 70% of its revenue.My Board role at Quantemplate has included stints working in London, NYC, San Francisco, and Silicon Valley so allowing the business to draw upon the best practices applicable to enterprise technology, insurance and the financial markets.Most recently I have been advising a leading NYC-based Hedge Fund, D.E. Shaw & Co, on quantitative Insurance strategies working with the NYC and London offices with a focus on US insurance distribution.Since 2008 AC Rands has managed a private family office, Bullingdon Capital, that has achieved consistent returns far outstripping the market.SERVICES“All markets contain pockets of inefficiency and these discrepancies can be located, quantified and traded.”Re/Insurance Advisory:The London Market provides unique-in-the-world insurance and finance skills highly applicable to transatlantic organisations, while UK insurance SMEs are keen to access the US market in particular.
