Antares Global has launched Scorpius MGA, which is a platform providing access to capacity, services and oversight for managing general agents. The carrier says the move will broaden its distribution network, enlarge its presence in specialist and niche markets and make it easier to connect MGAs with capacity from Antares Insurance Company.

Ian Morris, CEO of Scorpius MGA, said: “The platform is the natural progression to consolidate our long-standing relationship with the MGA market through a centralised, specialist platform. By providing MGAs with access to capacity and operational expertise, we enable talented underwriters to focus on what they do best: underwriting.”

Mike van der Straaten, CEO of Antares Global, added: “This is a strategic evolution of our relationship with the MGA market. Antares has a long history and deep experience of supporting MGAs – these partnerships strengthen our ability to access high-quality distribution, support specialist underwriters and diversify the business into new markets.”
