Here’s the latest from Amiga as they begin trading in Hong Kong;
The MGA has secured a licence from the Hong Kong Insurance Authority and is ready to begin trading in the region.
The Hong Kong operation, which focuses on Financial Lines, is led by Ralph Sherbahn, Managing Director of Financial Lines, Asia Pacific, who joined the business when it launched in 2025. The licence kick-starts Amiga’s ambition to trade Financial Lines, including cyber, crime, D&O, professional liability, and transaction-related cover, across the APAC region. The MGA has secured a binder with XL Insurance Company SE to begin trading.
The move follows the launch of Amiga in Europe in the summer 2025 and represents the first foundation of the APAC business for the specialist managing general agent (MGA).
Amiga CEO and Founder, Adam Kembrooke, commented: “Gaining regulatory approval is a huge milestone for our APAC business and I am delighted we have secured the permissions to trade from the rigorous Hong Kong regulator. This marks the latest step as Amiga grows and develops a global presence.”
Sherbahn commented: “The real works begins now. I can’t wait to offer the Amiga products to the Asian market. We already have capacity in place to focus on a broad array of Financial Lines products, but with a directed view within its area of expertise to build out new and innovative products in a rapidly evolving tech and financial services focused economy.”
In this initial stage, the MGA will focus primarily on North Asia before expanding to other territories and additional products within the APAC region.
Sherbahn added: “We are looking forward to growing our partnerships and expanding the team in Hong Kong. Financial Lines in Asia is a huge opportunity and Amiga is ready to capitalise on that.”
Sherbahn explained that the name Amiga means friend’ in Latin and showcases the firm’s commitment as a tech- first MGA with AI also embedded into the branding.
He continued: “Modern intelligent automation platforms integrate AI, orchestration, and deep insurance expertise, enabling MGAs to make real-time decisions, streamline operations, and enhance efficiency across the insurance value chain.
“We’re fortunate to have launched amid a time of such fundamental transformation and excited to be able to leverage the nimbleness and agility these new technologies afford MGAs such as Amiga.”
