20 Years in Asia Pacific
INSURING WHAT'S NEXT
Since establishing our presence in Singapore in 2006, we've helped clients navigate one of the
world's fastest-evolving risk landscapes. What began as a focused cargo proposition has grown
into a broad, specialist portfolio across property, aviation, marine, cyber and political risk.
Together with our brokers and clients, we've supported Asia through rapid transformation — from
trade expansion and infrastructure growth to the rise of complex, human-driven risks.
Succeeding in Asia for 20 years has depended on the strength of our local expertise, the quality
of our underwriting and the trust we've built across the region. Our empowered teams combine
deep regional insight with global capability to lead major risks and respond decisively.
THE TMK DIFFERENCE
We take a distinctive approach to claims in Asia Pacific. Our experienced, locally based claims team is empowered to act – with one of the highest settlement authorities in the market – enabling fast, clear, and confident outcomes.
Our philosophy is simple: "Always look for a reason to pay a claim". It's an approach aligned with our London team, consistently rated 'Outstanding' by independent research firm, Gracechurch for ten consecutive years and recognised by London market brokers for its quality, responsiveness and reliability.

The same, in many ways, could be said of the aviation insurance market.
