How they work

K2 International is the trading name of K2 Group Holdings, a London specialty insurance and reinsurance underwriting platform owned by K2 Insurance Services. Its February 2026 Rising Edge transaction brought a management-liability business and team into the new K2 Executive Risk division.

K2 International supports specialist underwriting businesses with shared operational services. The 2026 acquired business was integrated as K2 Executive Risk; the Join Us proposition also supports new MGA formation and retained ownership.

Founder ownership

Its published MGA proposition provides meaningful retained ownership and operating flexibility.

Sector focus

Specialty underwriting teams and businesses that complement its existing insurance lines. The Rising Edge deal involved an operating underwriting business and existing capacity arrangements; it was not an acquisition of the entire seller.

Capital model

An operating platform owned by K2 Insurance Services. The parent’s premium volume and Lloyd’s syndicate capacity are not an acquisition fund.
