<p><strong>Cameron Cupido, Chief Executive Officer at Reinsurance Solutions Intermediary Services and</strong> head of the new subsidiary, says its entry into the market is a strategic one, coming at a critical time for the local industry.</p>

<p>“With the effects of world events really starting to be felt in South Africa, and with our reinsurance industry being quite limited, there was an excellent opportunity for us to bring to market a new player with new offerings. We are a niche and highly focused team, which allows us to quickly adapt to changing conditions and develop responsive reinsurance solutions as and when our clients need them. This undoubtedly gives us a competitive edge,” explains Cameron, who personally picked the brokers, all of whom have extensive reinsurance experience and skills, making for a formidable regional team.</p>

He forms part of Reinsurance Solutions Intermediary Services newly-appointed executive team, following the granting of its financial services licence by the Financial Sector Conduct Authority in June 2020.</p>
