Tunstall Associates has led the design and improvement of some of the largest insurance programmes in Asia. With considerable expertise in matching risks against coverage and unparallelled exposure in the Asian and European markets Tunstall Associates can make substantial improvements to coverage and quality whilst usually driving down costs by 10 to 15% in the first year.

Working hand in hand with your broking team we build a genuine market relationship built on quality information, genuine sharing of risk issues and mutual respect. With experience in every major market sector you can rely on us to deliver a programme that works. That means in the event you claim – you get paid.

As insurance markets harden and capacity for challenging risks continues to shrink, shrewd insurance managers are turning to captives as a more effective method to manage their risks, engage effectively with existing and new markets, and provide additional support for key corporate risks. Tunstall Associates has been involved in the establishment, growth and ongoing management of captives around the world in jurisdictions including USA, Bermuda, Singapore, Labuan, Guernsey, IOM, Malta, Dubai, Qatar and Luxemburg.
Tunstall Associates not only provides support for clients starting from scratch on the captive process, but can hand hold both the insurance team and board level stakeholders throughout the journey and on through the lifetime of the business.
Unlike most potential partners in this space we have been working on and engaging with boards on the introduction of Enterprise Risk Management for over 25 years. 30 years ago Steve was developing, marketing and implementing Monte Carlo based simulation packages for some of the largest PFI/PPP projects in the world. We have presented to and sat on multiple board Audit Committees and Risk Committees. Engagement with boards of directors requires a very precise skill set and we have that in spades. For more experienced risk management clients the tools and techniques we employ are those required to keep risk systems alive and relevant as the company evolves. Understanding and embracing the culture of any client is crucial and our clients are all very different.
