New MGU designed to streamline distribution and strengthen incubation ecosystem
Pro MGA Global Solutions has launched Orb Specialty, an independent managing general underwriter (MGU) created to connect insurance capacity with high-potential managing general agents (MGAs) incubated within its platform.
Based in the UK, Orb Specialty will operate as an appointed representative of Pro MGA Solutions.
The new MGU aims to provide carriers with a single streamlined route into MGA distribution, while offering MGAs multi-year stability and guided capacity partnerships.
Danny Maleary (pictured), CEO of Pro MGA Global Solutions, said the launch would help bridge the gap between capital providers and entrepreneurial underwriters.
“Our MGA ecosystem thrives when capacity partners and MGAs are strategically aligned. A highly innovative tech-enabled MGU, Orb Specialty will bring together the right capacity, the right underwriting talent, and the right tech infrastructure – enabling MGAs to focus on what they do best: delivering profitable underwriting,” he said.
“Orb Specialty is being built to redefine delegated capacity by becoming the trusted, global data-driven bridge between insurance capital and entrepreneurial underwriting talent worldwide.”
The platform is positioned for scalable, multi-jurisdictional growth, offering what Pro described as a capital-light, governance-led solution designed to boost efficiency and underwriting confidence across the delegated authority market.
Orb Specialty is built on three principles: “strategic connections” using data and analytics to match MGAs with carriers; “operational excellence” as a tech-enabled MGU providing end-to-end support and shared services; and “sustainable partnerships” fostering multi-year relationships to underpin stable growth.
Steve Lewis, CEO of Pro Global, said the initiative reflected Pro’s broader commitment to supporting specialist underwriters.
“The launch of Orb Specialty is a natural evolution of Pro’s commitment to supporting entrepreneurial underwriters and capacity providers alike,” he said. “By combining Pro MGA Global Solutions’ proven incubation infrastructure with a dedicated MGU platform, Orb Specialty creates new opportunities for sustainable, profitable growth across our growing ecosystem.”
