Thats a really good question!

I have no idea and their web site does not say anything except for the following:

"QBE the Americas is on target to produce over $1.5 billion in Gross Written Premium in 2006. Surplus strength in excess of $560 million supports diversified, stable portfolios in 12 locations spanning 7 countries throughout North and South America. The Group underwrites a diverse mix of Property, Casualty and Health business on a reinsurance, direct and excess and surplus basis. QBE's vision is to be recognized as an organization that excels in the continuous delivery of new and proven quality products and services. QBE strives for customer satisfaction and retention, employee motivation and integrity."

and...

"QBE Insurance corporations' primary property and casualty business writes a wide range of commercial and personal products primarily through Independent General Agencies."

On the basis of the above, possibly.
