LONDON, 1st October 2026 – Paris-based surety MGA Trevanti has launched to simplify broker access to France’s fragmented surety market.
Led by CEO Jean Lowe and built by a team of experienced surety specialists with extensive knowledge of the French market, Trevanti will provide brokers access to a broad range of products through a single relationship. Its offering combines traditional construction bonds with specialist commercial and regulatory bond classes that are often underserved by the market.
Jean Lowe, CEO of Trevanti, said: “France is one of Europe’s largest and most resilient surety markets, but brokers still face unnecessary complexity by having to navigate multiple providers when placing business across different bond classes. Trevanti will address that challenge directly by bringing together experienced underwriting, broad product knowledge and fast decision-making in one place.”
Lowe has close to 20 years’ experience across international surety and financial guarantees. He has held roles in MGAs, carriers, and government institutions, including UK Export Finance and leading broker Verspieren. Most recently, he was Senior Underwriter at Accelerant, where he managed the European surety portfolio.
Lowe is supported by Adama Samake, Head of Surety Underwriting, and Christine Maksic, Senior Underwriter. Samake has over 30 years of experience in underwriting, distribution, and product development, including senior roles at CEGC/Natixis and Atradius.
Maksic brings more than 20 years’ experience as a surety and financial guarantees underwriter, with particular expertise in large and complex accounts. She previously held roles at CEGC/Natixis and Atradius.
Trevanti will target construction bond business, including performance and completion, advance payment, retention and maintenance, and bid and tender bonds. Its commercial and specialist bond offering will include cover for regulated professionals, legal and customs requirements, environmental and agricultural guarantees, and import and export.
Trevanti is backed by MISSION International, the MGA Capital Partner. MISSION provides MGAs with long-term capacity, combined with operational, financial, technological, regulatory and marketing infrastructure.
Ross Dingwall, CEO of MISSION International, said: “France is primed for growth in the MGA market. Many product lines and distribution channels remain fractured, creating opportunities for specialist MGAs to deliver tailored propositions. As our first MGA in the French market, Trevanti also demonstrates the growing appeal of our platform for underwriters looking to build high-quality businesses.”
