Agility backed by strength
Part of the USD1bn 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.
Shaped by talent
K2 International is built on a talent-first basis. That means that we don’t seek 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.
Partnership
We value long-lasting, authentic corporate partnerships with our capacity providers, brokers and clients.
Innovation
We value new ideas that lead to practical ways of improving or transforming our products, systems, and processes.
Engagement
We value connecting with people from carriers to brokers to (re)insureds, with open communication that is serious, productive and fun.
Integrity
We value doing the right thing across all our relationships, conducting our business honestly and transparently.
Enterprise
We value working resourcefully and skilfully to build a business that provides long-term growth for all our partners.
The experience of building a successful US franchise over the past 10 years and the quality of the K2 International offering, gives me confidence about our future.
Leadership 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 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.
Lee Equity
In May 2019, Lee Equity Partners, a New York based middle market private equity firm, acquired a majority interest in K2 Insurance Services, with the objective to create a leading underwriting and distribution franchise in the programme insurance market.
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.
