Specialty MGA UK, a managing general agent known for its tailored insurance solutions, has appointed Amir Hussain as Head of Political and Credit Risk.

This strategic hire marks the launch of a new business line as the company aims to establish itself as a key player in the political risk market.

Hussain brings extensive experience to the role, having worked as a credit analyst at Barclays and underwritten for leading Lloyd’s syndicates, including Brit and Hamilton.

With a specialisation in political risk, contract frustration, and credit risk, he has successfully built and managed global portfolios from the ground up.

In the initial phase, Hussain will focus on engaging with the market and developing a robust underwriting portfolio. Over time, both he and Specialty MGA UK plan to expand the team and increase their market capacity, reinforcing their commitment to growth in the political risk sector.

MNK Group Chairman Manoj Kumar said: “Amir’s background of rapidly developing business in international political risk means he is a fantastic addition to the team. Now is the right time for us to enter the market, given that there are global opportunities as demand for cover continues to rise.”

Hussain commented: “Building a new line of business requires entrepreneurialism, energy and dedication and I have always enjoyed the challenge it presents. I’m excited to work with Manoj and the rest of the team, as this is a great opportunity to bring new capacity to the market and make political risk a significant part of Specialty MGA’s offering.”
