RiskPoint is a Copenhagen-headquartered managing general underwriter. It traces its roots to the reinsurance agency Hansen & Klein, founded in 1917, and today has more than 325 employees in 18 locations. Its Lisbon branch, RiskPoint A/S – Sucursal em Portugal (NIF 980876575, Avenida do Brasil 43), is registered for insurance-agency activity. In Portugal it offers cyber, transactional-risk and financial-lines cover.
RiskPoint describes itself as one of the largest managing general underwriters in Europe. It trades as RiskPoint in Europe and Asia and as RP Underwriting elsewhere, and writes Accident & Health, Transactional Risk, Property & Construction, Renewable Energy, Financial Lines, Cyber, Casualty and Life Science business for a panel of insurers. It is also a Lloyd’s coverholder. The company’s history starts with Hansen & Klein, founded in Copenhagen in 1917 to write facultative reinsurance. The RiskPoint strategy began in 2007, when Kenneth Nielsen, Jens Andreasen and Ulrik Evers took a majority stake and opened a Stockholm office. Offices followed in Helsinki (2008), Oslo (2010), Frankfurt (2016), Zurich, Amsterdam and London (2018), Madrid (2019), New York (2021), Singapore (2022), Sydney, Hamburg and Milan (2023), and Toronto and Brussels (2024). The group reports gross written premium growing from EUR 50 million in 2017 to EUR 270 million in 2023. Nordic Capital took a minority stake in 2022.
The Portuguese operation is a branch of the Danish insurance-agency company: RiskPoint A/S – Sucursal em Portugal (NIF 980876575). It is listed on RiskPoint’s company-information page alongside its Belgian, German, Dutch, Italian, Swiss and Spanish branches, at Avenida do Brasil 43, 3.º direito, sala 3, 1700-062 Lisbon. Racius records its registered activity as insurance agency. RiskPoint’s locations page lists cyber, transactional risk and financial lines as the products offered in Portugal. Its named Lisbon contact is Paulo Anger, Financial Lines Manager for Portugal and Spain. The history page does not give a date for the Lisbon opening.
Specialty insurance capacity is one of the less visible Nordic exports to Portugal. A Danish underwriter with delegated authority from insurers can quote directors’ and officers’, cyber and warranty-and-indemnity cover locally through Portuguese brokers. For Portuguese mid-market companies, private-equity buyers and M&A advisers, this means another source of transaction-risk and management-liability capacity with a Lisbon contact. For the corridor it is an example of a Nordic financial-services firm treating Portugal as part of an Iberian desk run with Spain.
RiskPoint says that in 2025 it acquired German cyber specialist Corvus Underwriting GmbH, teamed up with MSIG Asia on renewable-energy insurance in Asia Pacific, and passed 300 employees. Recent group news includes a cyber appointment in Germany, growth of the transactional-risk team in Dubai, and RiskPoint Norway being named best MGA of 2026 by Söderberg & Partners.
