XL Group’s E&S Insurance Adds Miller in Chicago to Launch New Auto Product

XL Group’s Excess & Surplus (E&S) insurance team is expanding, adding Andrew Miller as underwriting manager for its newest product line, primary auto.

Miller joins XL Group’s Chicago office with more than a dozen years of transportation insurance industry experience, most recently as an underwriting manager with Vanliner Insurance Co., a division of National Interstate. In his new role, he will be responsible for launching XL Group’s E&S primary auto product line.

The company expects to first roll out the new primary auto coverage in a limited launch to partner brokers, according to Michael Gramm, vice president of excess casualty, E&S.

Target markets include a variety of transportation risks such as trucking, public auto and commercial auto.

“Our intent is to gradually ramp up our primary auto operation to give ample attention to these tough risks and work with our broker partners to tailor workable insurance solutions,” Gramm said.

XL Group’s new E&S primary auto coverage is available on an occurrence-based following form policy with limits up to $1.5 million. XL Group’s primary auto operation also has the ability to issue MCS-90 endorsements and post required filings.
