London 10 February 2021: Supercede is a powerful, Lloyd's-approved, data-centric, global trading platform, specifically created for the reinsurance sector. It is a natural evolution of Riskbook's offering as the first independent, hyperconnected reinsurance marketplace for the efficient matching of risk and capital.

The Supercede platform, built by seasoned reinsurance and technology specialists, offers a radically better, collaborative placement experience, at no charge, alongside a premium Analytics proposition. Brokers gain from a better placement process; reinsurers gain access to more risks and data; and cedents can enhance their submission quality across all non-life products and lines of business, with a seamless flow of single input, actuarial-grade data and analytics.

Homegrown in the reinsurance industry, Riskbook – now Supercede – was co-founded in 2019 by Jerad Leigh, CEO, (formerly of TigerRisk and Aon) and Ben Rose, President, (formerly of Aon and Lloyd's) to revolutionise the reinsurance industry, based on their 20 years of combined experience. Fellow co-founder Jezen Thomas, CTO, with 10 years' software development experience, is the technology expert and lead.

In 2020, the team appointed Chief Actuarial Officer, Paul Bassan (formerly of Hokodo, Cytora and Aspen Re), to direct the development of Supercede Analytics, the premium proposition enabling auto validated outwards submission data to flow seamlessly between cedents, brokers and reinsurers in the Supercede ecosystem.

Jerad Leigh, said:

With a background in the business, we've seen first-hand how frustrating and time consuming some reinsurance processes can be. For instance, data submissions are a hugely complex and time-consuming process for cedents, while brokers spend too much time on compiling data rather than doing the deal, and reinsurers have to wait passively for ‘friendly brokers' to bring them the best business.

Ben Rose, added:

Supercede is changing reinsurance for good. Our global platform was created in collaboration with the reinsurance community, working hand-in-hand with cedents, brokers, and reinsurers, so we know that it addresses their issues and enables them to focus on opening doors and closing deals with a wider global network, using actuarial-grade, single entry reinsurance data.

This significant development comes just four months after the business announced investment of £2m to revolutionise the placement process and further develop its Lloyd's-recognised digital placement platform, highlighting the speed and agility that smart, fast-growth InsurTechs can bring to the industry.
