Macquarie Insurance Facility plans to launch Longbrook Insurance

Macquarie Insurance Facility (MIF) has announced its intention to launch Longbrook Insurance (Longbrook), a multi-line underwriting business, backed by highly-rated carriers.

Part of Macquarie Asset Management, MIF is a global insurance aggregator. It aggregates approximately $US1.8 billion of premium spend annually from participating private equity, infrastructure, energy and real estate firms.

Headquartered in London, Longbrook will launch two core lines of business in early 2026 – transaction liability insurance and energy insurance. The transaction liability insurance business will provide mergers and acquisitions insurance solutions, including warranty and indemnity and tax liability insurance. Longbrook’s energy insurance offering will provide property damage and business interruption coverage for the construction and operation of energy assets, with a focus on the energy transition. Both lines of business will support clients worldwide¹.

Longbrook aims to offer long-term insurance solutions to its clients by providing access to a differentiated distribution platform and enhanced risk management insights and by leveraging MIF’s extensive network of relationships with leading global insurers and brokers.

As part of the launch of Longbrook, Shaun Reynolds joins as Head of Transaction Liability bringing to the role more than two decades of experience in M&A and underwriting. Prior to joining Longbrook, Shaun held a number of underwriting roles, including at AIG and at London-headquartered and Lloyd’s Syndicate-backed Volante Global, where he built and managed a portfolio of transaction liability risks.

Nick Wilski, Global Head of Macquarie Insurance Facility, said: “Effective risk management is a crucial element to delivering value on investments, and Longbrook is the next step in MIF’s strategy to offer diversified solutions to our clients. Longbrook’s team will have deep underwriting expertise in managing transaction liability and energy infrastructure risks. They’ll be well placed to build on the strong foundations of our distribution model and extensive relationships with brokers to develop best-in-class solutions to the benefit of our clients.”
