Advanced Technology Assurance Ltd. has rolled out a $750 mn insurance facility aimed squarely at the projected $7 tn global buildout of AI and data center infrastructure.
The London-based managing general underwriter is betting scale and structure matter more than ever as projects balloon in size and complexity.
The ATA Global Data Center & AI Infrastructure Insurance facility launches with backing from a consortium of more than 10 major re/insurers and Lloyd’s syndicates, including Arch Insurance International, Munich Re Specialty, and SCOR.
Aggregated capacity sits at the center of the design. ATA uses it to offer a single policy intended to de-risk multi-billion-dollar projects that previously required a stack of standalone covers. Fewer seams. Fewer conflicts when losses land.
Michael Coles, chairman of ATA, said the facility pulls the capacity and technical depth of leading re/insurers into one structure. The aim, he said, is to grow meaningful line sizes, add specialised coverages, and build risk engineering capabilities that match the pace of large AI infrastructure projects.
Over time, the facility plans to combine multiple insurance lines under one policy. Property, computer hardware, cargo and transit, cyber and technology E&O, environmental liability, terror – more layers are expected as exposures sharpen.
Before this, hyperscale data center developers, tenants, and chip suppliers stitched coverage together across multiple policies. That approach often left gaps and triggered disputes between insurers, especially in complex claims, according to ATA.
Alistair Blundy, ATA’s CEO and lead underwriter, said the policy targets the full AI ecosystem, from investors and lenders to chip integrators and data center operators. He said ATA wants to become the first call for brokers placing AI-related risk, offering a clear lead-line solution instead of fragmented placement.
Policy wording development involved external counsel. Chris Cowland, legal director and London wordings lead at Clyde & Co, said the firm advised on integrating multiple insurance lines into a single structure.
Re/insurers backing the facility framed it as a response to a clear market gap.
James Croome, head of Fine Art, Specie & Cargo at Arch Insurance International, said Arch leads hardware, cargo, and terrorism coverages within the facility. He described the structure as a single access point for large-scale capacity and a lead-line approach designed for global projects.
Tom Allen, CUO for cyber at Munich Re Specialty Global Markets, said Munich Re supports the cyber and technology E&O components. He said the facility brings insurance capacity together at scale to support critical infrastructure projects tied to AI growth.
Emma Bartolo, global environmental impairment liability segment leader at SCOR Business Solutions, said SCOR’s role centers on environmental risk, with a focus on supporting responsible development as AI infrastructure expands.
Rachel Turk, chief of market performance at Lloyd’s, said the facility highlights how syndication at Lloyd’s pulls global capacity into usable line sizes, making it easier to place complex risks tied to emerging technologies.
