Ryan Specialty expands RT Flex follow facility

By Ashish Tiwari Oct 14 (The Insurer) — Ryan Specialty units RT Specialty and Ryan Alternative Risk said on Tuesday they had expanded RT Flex, a follow-line insurance facility that provides brokers with additional capacity across specialty insurance products. RT Flex, launched in 2025 for excess casualty placements, now covers property, casualty, and professional and executive liability products, the companies said. The facility follows lead insurers' pricing, terms and conditions and can provide up to 50% of a controlled layer, subject to underwriting approval and capacity availability. Its current offerings include property, builders' risk, excess casualty, construction, professional liability, D&O liability, E&O liability, employment practices liability, fiduciary liability and medical professional liability. “By pairing access to capacity with the strength of RT Specialty's distribution platform, we've built a scalable solution that helps brokers address property, casualty, and professional and executive liability placements through one coordinated process," Ben Newton, chief underwriting officer of Ryan Alternative Risk, said.
