Fidelis Insurance has appointed Ian Turner as its new group chief actuary.

Previously, he was head of capital modelling at Bermudian-based Fidelis. Before joining the company last year he was head of capital model applications at XL Catlin.

He spent almost a decade at Catlin progressing from actuary to platform capital actuary and finally to group capital actuary.

In his new role at Fidelis he will report to Hinal Patel, group chief financial officer.

Mr Patel said: “Ian has demonstrated his actuarial acumen, acquiring a wide breadth of experience through his career, particularly in the use of capital modelling within enterprise risk management.

“He will be integral to the continued success and growth of our business. Success in this market is increasingly about differentiation through ideas and expertise. Ian brings both. I am delighted to confirm his appointment to this role.”

Mr Turner’s appointment is subject to regulatory and immigration approval.
