About
With immense experience in niche and specialty insurance classes, as well as a rich pedigree in the Lloyd’s market, Mekong Re’s ability to navigate, understand and safeguard against challenging risks is unmatched.
Since 2009, the MNK Group has been an active, global reinsurer, underwriter and MGA, headquartered in London — with its subsidiary, Speciality MGA, majoring in the underwriting of niche and specialty insurance classes.
This unprecedented global access has provided the group with the pragmatism, understanding and scope to broker reinsurance solutions without any of the boundaries associated with international practice.
In addition, the vast knowledge accumulated over the course of this journey has positioned the MNK Group (and its companies) as renowned experts in their fields. Based on their detailed analysis, it became clear that there was a need for a comparable offering in Malaysian and Southeast Asian markets, paving the way for Mekong Re to open its doors in 2024. Our headquarters can be found in the Federal Territory of Labuan, Malaysia.
