Singapore – March 18, 2026

Veteran underwriter with nearly two decades of PVT expertise joins to lead portfolio growth across Asia-Pacific and the Middle East

Singapore – March 18, 2026 – PRISM MGA, a tech-enabled specialty managing general agent (MGA) headquartered in Singapore, today announced the appointment of Hui Zhi Pek as Head of Political Violence, Terrorism and Political Risk (PVT). As geopolitical instability continues to reshape risk landscapes across Asia-Pacific and the Middle East, Hui Zhi's appointment signals PRISM MGA's commitment to delivering faster, more sophisticated PVT solutions for brokers and clients operating in complex and volatile environments. The new portfolio will combine empowered local underwriting, technology-enabled decision making and strong international capacity to provide brokers with a responsive regional alternative to traditional offshore underwriting models.

Why This Matters

 As geopolitical uncertainty intensifies across Asia-Pacific, businesses face growing exposure to civil unrest, terrorism, supply chain disruption and political instability. Brokers increasingly require specialist underwriting partners that combine regional expertise, empowered decision-making and faster response times. . Hui Zhi's appointment directly addresses this need, bringing disciplined underwriting leadership, deep regional knowledge, and an established network of broker and capacity relationships to PRISM MGA.
