Ryan Specialty Completes Lloyd's Consortium Deal, 6 Syndicates Take 15% of Global Book

Summary
Six Lloyd's syndicates have taken a combined 15% share of Ryan Specialty Underwriting Managers' global delegated P&C portfolio through consortium stamps completed on July 6.
The deal spans all classes, lines and geographies, excludes part of Velocity Risk Underwriters, and will attach at natural renewals starting Aug. 1 with Markel as cornerstone syndicate.
Ardonagh's Axiiem digital exchange will act as facilitation agent, making the RSUM transaction one of the platform's first live uses in a structured Lloyd's facility days after launch.
The move aligns with Lloyd's push to make consortium-led facilities a key 2026 growth engine; delegated authority already generates about 45% of Lloyd's premium income.
That shift is broadening across the market: Lloyd's projects £67.4 billion of 2026 gross written premium, with 62.5% of accretive growth tied to new entrants and structured solutions.
