ABOUT US
A SPECIALIST APPROACH TO LIABILITY INSURANCE
Founded in 2005, Genoa Underwriting Managers has evolved into a specialist liability underwriting manager, focusing exclusively on medical malpractice insurance and professional indemnity insurance for restructuring professionals. Our name pays tribute to Genoa, Italy, the birthplace of modern insurance, where the first recorded marine insurance contract was issued in 1347—a fitting legacy for a company committed to protecting high-risk professionals.
As a proud member of SAUMA (The South African Underwriting Managers Association), we uphold the highest standards of service excellence and industry integrity. We are backed by Lombard Insurance Company (FSP 2092) and supported by leading global reinsurers, enabling us to offer brokers tailored, sustainable, and competitive risk solutions.
NATIONAL REPRESENTATION
Genoa’s head office is in Rosebank, Johannesburg with proposed expansions into Pretoria, Cape Town and Port Elizabeth in the near future.
EXPERT-LED SOLUTIONS DRIVEN UNDERWRITING
With a hands-on senior management team, Genoa is built on expert decision-making and direct broker engagement—no bureaucracy, just fast, informed solutions.
DEEP INDUSTRY EXPERTISE
Our team brings over 100 years of combined experience, ensuring brokers receive specialist insights, precise risk assessments, and tailored coverage for their clients.
LOMBARD PARTNERSHIP
We underwrite medical malpractice and restructuring insurance on behalf of Lombard Insurance Company Limited. Beyond the natural alignment between our specialised risk focus and Lombard’s innovative approach to underwriting, their partnership has been instrumental in supporting Genoa’s growth and commitment to client-focused solutions.
