Stuart Buchanan-Smith

Spear's Review

Stuart Buchanan-Smith is private client director at Hampden Agencies, an adviser that specialises in working with clients with private capital who are investing in Lloyd’s, the world’s leading insurance marketplace.

Buchanan-Smith has been advising Lloyd’s names since 1988 and joined Hampden in 1999. He has institutional clients as well as high net worth individuals.

Hampden’s clients are the wealthy families and individuals who place part of their wealth at the disposal of one or more of the 75 syndicates at Lloyd’s who underwrite risk. The process can be a complex one for individuals to undertake on their own, but agents such as Buchanan-Smith aim to assist them in balancing their exposure as part of an overall portfolio.
