Agility backed by strength
Part of the USD1.5bn K2 Insurance Services Group
K2 International is the London Market underwriting arm of US based K2 Insurance Services. With a diverse spread of businesses in the group we are well-supported, well-connected, well-regulated and well-run with a proven track-record of profitable growth.
Shaped by talent
K2 International is built on a talent-first basis. That means that we don’t look to enter any particular class of business, but rather we seek out, and bring on board, the best talent and then provide them with the right support.
If that resonates we would love to hear from you!
Independent mindset
Being part of K2 Insurance Services not only gives us stability, but it also offers our teams the freedom to use their experience to the full. The culture of empowering independence means our teams regularly outperform the best-known MGAs.
We are guided by our values
Partnership
We value long-lasting, collaborative partnerships with our capacity providers, clients, brokers and colleagues.
Integrity
We value doing the right thing across all our relationships and conducting our business honestly and transparently.
Enterprise
We value all ideas that lead to effective ways of building, improving and transforming our products, systems and processes.
Support
We value our people and are committed to fostering an inclusive environment where everyone is treated with dignity, respect, and empowered to contribute to our success as a team.
The experience of building a successful US franchise over the past 13 years and the quality of the K2 International offering, gives me confidence about our future.
Executive Team
A platform for growth
Since 2011 K2 Insurance Services has been acquiring, developing and growing profitable insurance businesses. Having established a core group of specialty insurers and MGA/MGUs in the US, we are now also building our business in the UK and the rest of Europe through K2 International.
Our financial strength and operational rigour gives our business the freedom to innovate and focus on its areas of expertise. With leading business across many specialties, our goal is to reach the very top of the (re)insurance market globally.
Warburg Pincus
In May 2023, Warburg Pincus, a New York based global private equity firm, acquired a majority interest in K2 Insurance Services. The investment will support K2’s continued growth strategy, including M&A and de-novo incubation, and its commitment to offering best-in-class services to clients.
We also have access to market-leading fronting capability to provide solutions to maximise support for K2 International’s MGAs.
Backed by market leading strength
Our capacity providers offer first class security and are leading (re)insurers in the global market. Here’s a flavour of the power behind us.
