Specialist underwriting agency SURA Professional Risks has forged a new security partnership with Guild Insurance, trading as Acerta, for professional indemnity cover across several of its portfolios, including financial planning and accountancy.

The deal with Acerta, the intermediary division of Guild Insurance, will enable SURA Professional Risks to increase policy capacity. It will also provide Acerta with an entry point into a new segment of professions.

“The Guild Insurance team’s knowledge and experience in professional indemnity insurance made them ideal security partners,” said Paul Robinson, SURA Professional Risks managing director. “Their commitment to delivering tailored products will enable us to explore new opportunities in professional indemnity and help facilitate our growth in key professions.”

“This arrangement is great news for brokers and insureds who will gain competitive and broad professional indemnity cover,” said Angie Zissis, SURA managing director.
