MX Underwriting, the Managing General Agent of Specialist Risk Group, has been announced as the headline partner of the UKREiiF Investor Centre. MX is an insurance business that specialises in real estate, energy and infrastructure transactions and developments in the UK and Europe. Their products provide financial indemnities in the event of a halt or delay caused by legal, planning and environmental challenges. These include ESG Risk, Rights of Light, Legal Indemnities, Permit Challenges and public law decisions.

The Investor Centre is a dedicated Pavilion at the event, which is exclusively accessible for those looking to invest and fund future development and regeneration activity across the UK.

Numerous local authorities such as Nottingham, London Borough of Lambeth, London Borough of Sutton, Birmingham and York will take to the stage to reveal their latest opportunities, in addition to thought leadership and panel debates.

Rob Best, MX Underwriting Managing Director, said: “MX Underwriting is a dynamic and data-driven team,  with the expertise and products to support the future of real estate. MX has shown how effective and important insurance can be in the world of real estate. Since 2010 we have insured over £114bn of assets and this could not have been possible without a forward-thinking, collaborative industry.

“MX believe in the UKREiiF team and their ability to put on great events. We are core partners to Built Environment Networking and whilst it has taken time to announce, have supported UKREiiF from the very beginning. We are headquartered in the UK and have committed resources to the emerging risks within ESG and our values are aligned. MX already insure environmental risk, but what better place to understand how ESG will evolve in the coming years. ESG is driven by the investor community, and we are overjoyed to see the commitment to this event. It is our pleasure to sponsor the Investor Centre and we can’t wait to see you all.”

Amanda Griffiths, Director at UKREiiF, said: ““UKREiiF will highlight investable propositions in many sectors – including renewables, environmental and property development – and MX Underwriting’s experience in these and many other markets made them an obvious choice to partner with us.

“This Pavilion will showcase the best opportunities across the UK, and we can guarantee that connections will be made within this Pavilion which lead to multi-million and multi-billion pound investment deals. The fact MX Underwriting will be on hand to provide risk solutions for clients operating in areas with complex insurance requirements will be a real benefit for those in attendance.”

Led by property events company Built Environment Networking and supported by some of the biggest UK property and infrastructure companies, the first annual UKREiiF event will be held in Leeds on 17-19 May 2022. The forum will attract inward investment, generate economic growth and drive a more sustainable and inclusive culture within the property and construction industries.
