The Fidelis Partnership (TFP) has appointed Andrew Sleeman as head of investor relations, expanding its executive leadership team as the managing general underwriter continues to develop new and existing capital partnerships.
Sleeman brings more than three decades of financial markets experience, including 14 years as portfolio manager and head of financial institutions at Franklin Mutual and three years as portfolio manager and senior investment strategist at Bell Asset Management. He has held directorships in the banking and cyber reinsurance sectors and previously worked as an investments specialist at Fox-Pitt Kelton and BNP Paribas.
At TFP, Sleeman will be based in New York and report to group chief financial officer Conor O’Riordan. He will also serve on the company’s group executive committee, supporting investor relations and helping manage relationships with existing and new capital providers.
TFP has been expanding its capital base through several initiatives, including a $2 billion refinancing led by Blackstone Credit & Insurance in 2024 and the addition of new capacity partners to support underwriting activity through its third-party capital at Lloyd’s.
O’Riordan said in a statement that capital partnerships remain central to TFP’s growth strategy and to the company’s “risk allocator” model.
“I am confident that [Sleeman’s] considerable financial services industry experience and relationships will prove invaluable across the entire business,” he added. “I am looking forward to working closely together as we broaden our capital partners and dynamically match capital and risk for our clients.”
The appointment follows a period of structural growth across the Fidelis Group. Founded by Richard Brindle, Fidelis began underwriting in 2015 and in 2023 completed a bifurcation into two entities: The Fidelis Partnership, led by Brindle, and Fidelis Insurance Group, led by Dan Burrows. The latter listed on the New York Stock Exchange later that year.
Since then, TFP has expanded its Pine Walk platform to 13 managing general agencies, launched an Abu Dhabi office as part of its BRICs+ initiative, and formed Syndicate 3123 at Lloyd’s, which wrote $0.2 billion in gross premiums within six months. Across both entities, Fidelis Insurance Group’s gross premiums written increased from $102 million in 2015 to $4.6 billion in 2025.
