The Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC), the global financial hub for the Middle East, Africa and South Asia (MEASA), has announced that Pinnacle Underwriting Pty Ltd has joined DIFC to expand its regional presence and strengthen its reinsurance and risk management capabilities.

Established in 2019 and headquartered in Sydney, with offices in Melbourne, Singapore and Dubai, Pinnacle Underwriting is a facultative reinsurance MGA writing business across the Middle East and Asia Pacific regions.

Pinnacle Underwriting specialises in facultative reinsurance across lines including Property, Power Generation & Utilities, Onshore Oil & Gas, and Political Violence & Terrorism.
