RB Jones DIFC
Global experience, local knowledge
The Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC) has become a leading regional hub for commercial and specialty (re)insurance across the Middle East, Africa, and South & Central Asia. RB Jones DIFC launched in 2026 as one of the early specialist underwriting managers shaping this growth. Our expanding team supports rising demand from DIFC wholesale brokers and regional insurers for specialist underwriting solutions across:
- Construction
- Energy
- Property
- Political Violence
Specialist Decisions Made Locally
Unlike market participants who still depend on underwriting capabilities outside the DIFC, we are committed to building and delivering that expertise locally. Our underwriters have the autonomy to make fast decisions from the DIFC, providing efficient, local solutions to brokers and clients for larger and more complex risks.Investing in the Region for the Long Term
As part of the privately owned H.W. Kaufman Group, which has been in operation around the world for more than 50 years, we build partnerships measured in generations, not years. We are dedicated to establishing a long-term presence in the DIFC and to being at the forefront of expanding (re)insurance capabilities in the region.Our DIFC Leadership
