(Reuters) - U.S. commercial property insurer FM Global is planning to have a hub in Luxembourg following Britain's decision to leave the European Union, the head of its European division told Reuters last week.
This follows recent announcements by Lloyd's of London, the world's largest speciality insurance market, and U.S. insurer AIG (N:AIG) that they have picked Brussels and Luxembourg respectively for their EU operations.
Below are plans for EU subsidiaries proposed by insurers:
ADMIRAL
British motor insurer Admiral Group Plc (L:ADML) said last year it could move its European business to Ireland or another country. It said earlier this year it was looking at a large number of locations and expected to make a decision within two months.
AIG
U.S. insurer AIG (N:AIG) said in March it will set up a European subsidiary in Luxembourg, in addition to its European headquarters in London.
BEAZLEY
Lloyd's of London insurer Beazley Plc (L:BEZG) said last year it had filed an application with the Central Bank of Ireland to get approval for its Irish reinsurance business to become a European insurance company.
CHESNARA
Chesnara Plc (L:CSN), an insurance-focused takeover specialist, already has an insurance company in the Netherlands but could move its headquarters there, depending on the regulatory environment in Britain after negotiations to leave the EU.
FM GLOBAL
U.S. commercial property insurer FM Global is planning a European hub in Luxembourg following Britain's decision to leave the bloc.
HISCOX
Lloyd's of London underwriter Hiscox Ltd (L:HSX) said earlier this year it was in talks with regulators in Luxembourg and Malta over setting up a new insurance base to serve EU clients.
LLOYD'S OF LONDON
Lloyd's of London, an integral part of the British business scene since the 17th century, has chosen Brussels as the site for its EU subsidiary, it said in March.
MS AMLIN
Japanese-owned insurer MS Amlin operates under the "Societas Europaea" structure. That makes it relatively easy to move to a different EU jurisdiction if needed, subject to regulatory approval.
ROYAL LONDON
British life insurer Royal London Mutual Insurance Society plans to turn its Irish business into a regulated subsidiary, it said in March.
XL CATLIN
Bermuda-domiciled insurer XL Catlin (N:XL) said its UK business XL Insurance Company SE has branches across Europe and also operates under the "Societas Europaea" structure.
