MS Amlin AG Enters Agriculture Reinsurance Market, Hiring Bektleuov From PartnerRe

MS Amlin AG (MS AAG), the global reinsurer, announced its entry into the agriculture reinsurance market with the hire of Rinat Bektleuov as product group lead underwriter. Bektleuov joined the business in August 2021 and reports directly to Charles Goldie, chief underwriting officer (CUO).

The agriculture reinsurance offering will be available globally and coverage includes five core products: crop insurance, livestock insurance, aquacultural insurance, forestry and weather index products. The launch comes as part of MS AAG’s wider global diversification strategy, with Bektleuov leading the new offering.

Based in Zurich, Bektleuov joins from PartnerRe, where he specialized in agriculture re/insurance over the course of almost 20 years at the business. For the past five years, he held the position of head Agriculture Worldwide and was responsible for developing and leading agriculture business lines, managing multiple global teams.

“The launch of the new agriculture reinsurance offering is an important milestone for MS AAG which demonstrates progress in, and commitment to, our diversification and growth strategy,” commented Goldie.

“Operating alongside our sister company, MS Amlin Underwriting Limited, I am confident that our entry to the agriculture market will provide clients with excellent additional reinsurance solutions, and further strengthen MS Amlin’s overall agriculture portfolio,” Goldie added.

Domiciled in Switzerland with underwriting offices in the U.S. and Bermuda, MS Amlin AG offers a wide spectrum of reinsurance products including property, casualty, engineering, motor, marine, and special risks and supports clients requiring an intimate knowledge of their local markets through a multinational and multilingual team.
