Our mission is to prepare our clients for their long term journey to stand tall in any market conditions through candid, righteous and independent advice
We operate from London and India, and offer services to insurers around the globe.
In UK/Europe, we have approx. 20 years of direct coverage of Pan European insurers (life/P&C/Re) as an insurance analyst. This has helped Ashik develop a deep understanding of the developed market insurers business model and the investor requirements.
Coverage of US/Developing and developed Asia mainly comes from extensive research done on subsidiaries and competitors of European Insurers. Although US and developed Asian markets insurers have mature business characteristics, the economic profile is quite different from European Insurers.
India has always been of interest for Ashik, given its his home country.
