Ri3k, the global reinsurance trading platform, has launched its sister company, RI3K Asia Exchange, to capitalise on the $40bn (£27.4bn) South-east Asian market.
RI3K's marketing manager, Roddy Langley, said the Singapore-based company would employ eight permanent staff and would act as a “franchise and autonomous operation” from the UK division launched two weeks ago.
RI3K will also offer insurers, brokers and reinsurers in the region a common, market-wide and cheaper means of sharing risk.
The flexible technology enables the entire reinsurance process to be managed from start to finish and incorporates premium and claims e-settlement.
RI3K Asia's managing director, David James, said: “The Asia Pacific reinsurance market is modern and open-minded enough to see the extent of the opportunity.
“With RI3K technology, it can create a dynamic local electronic exchange which will provide efficiencies for the whole community.”
Hosted by comedian and actor Tom Allen, 34 Gold, 23 Silver and 22 Bronze awards were handed out across an amazing 34 categories recognising brilliance and innovation right across the breadth of UK general insurance.
