Robert Childs, Hiscox chairman.

(Bloomberg) — Hiscox Ltd. Chairman Robert Childs said the Lloyd’s of London insurer is writing less “big ticket” reinsurance as excess capital pushes rates lower.

The second-largest Lloyd’s insurer by market value reported a 22% drop in gross written premiums at its reinsurance unit to 271.5 million pounds ($461 million) for the six months to June 30, according to a statement today.
