Antares Syndicate 1274 has increased its stamp capacity for the coming year to £445m. This is up by 4.7% on 2026’s capacity of £425m. It writes domestic and international property, casualty, marine and specialty re/insurance and has been active in Lloyd’s since 2008.

Martin Campbell, chief underwriting officer and active underwriter at Antares, said: “Our capital strength and empowered underwriting teams have given us a solid foundation for sustainable growth in 2027, even as market conditions become more challenging.

“We have worked hard in 2026 to optimise our operational processes, delivering an organisational restructure that allows us to offer specialist support to each part of the Antares business, provide brokers and clients with better access to decision makers and encourage cross-class collaboration.”

Looking ahead, Campbell says the syndicate will continue to target long-term partnerships with clients.
