Connect Underwriting Limited has launched its new reinsurance managing general agent (MGA), BRICS UW, aimed at providing capacity to emerging markets. This initiative will serve as a platform for reputable reinsurers from these markets to access London distribution and engage in international business transactions. Initially, BRICS will cover quota share property, engineering, and traditional lines while seeking partnerships with London markets for cross-border opportunities. The launch is pending regulatory approval, with Ahsan Abdul Majid appointed as the head of BRICS.
