Founded in 2008, the Nexus Group is a specialty MGA on a dynamic growth path, concentrating on niche classes of business and delivering excellent service and cutting edge products. Unlike nearly all other multi-product MGAs, Nexus is truly independent and can justifiably describe itself as a ‘virtual insurance company’.
The Nexus Group underwrites 15 Specialty products on behalf of 25 underwriting partners who support their product offerings within the following lines of business: Financial Lines, Trade Credit, Accident & Health, Surety, Travel, Property, Latent Defect, Marine and Cyber.
