PIB Group today announced the expansion of its portfolio company Acquinex into the United States. This marks another key step in PIB’s US growth journey, following its initial entry into the market in 2025 through the acquisition of market-leading specialist litigation MGA, Litica.
Acquinex, a specialist Managing General Agent (MGA) focusing on SME and lower mid-market M&A insurance, has established a presence in New York to serve the US Representations & Warranties (R&W) and Tax Liability insurance sectors. The expansion is bolstered by two key senior appointments: Chris Graham as Head of Representations and Warranties Insurance (RWI) and Roktim Kaushik as Head of US Tax.
Ryan Brown, Chief Growth Officer at PIB Group commented “Since our journey began, we have focused on building a leading, diversified insurance distribution business. Today’s announcement reflects the continued strength of our specialist businesses and our commitment to providing our clients and partners with truly global solutions.”
Acquinex joined PIB Group in 2021 and has since established itself as a leader in European Warranty & Indemnity (W&I) insurance. Its entry into the US, the world’s largest M&A insurance market, aligns with the Group’s strategy to export its niche expertise and underwriting excellence into new territories.
Chris Jackson, CEO, Underwriting Collective PIB Group, added: “Having been part of the Acquinex journey from the start, I am incredibly proud to see the business take this leap with the full backing of PIB Group. There is a clear appetite in the US for the specialised, service-led approach that has made Acquinex a leader in Europe”.
The New York office will enable Acquinex to bring its established European processes and specialist underwriting to the SME and mid-market US deal landscape, with licenses already granted to operate across all states.
