MacKinlay

What MacKinlay does

MacKinlay S.A. is an Argentina-based insurance brokerage firm registered as a Productor Asesor de Seguros with the Superintendencia de Seguros de la Nación under matrícula N° 1287. Founded in 2015 and headquartered in Olivos, Buenos Aires, the firm was established by partners with over 50 years of combined professional experience in national and international insurance and reinsurance markets, and subsequently incorporated the Cohen Group as a strategic partner to add financial services expertise. MacKinlay is a member of the Worldwide Broker Network (WBN), providing international market access for cross-border placements.

The firm operates six distinct business lines, each staffed with a dedicated named contact: Cobertura para Empresas (corporate and affinity-group coverage including property, casualty, workers' compensation, health and group life), Líneas Personales (motor, life, home, fine art, pleasure craft and aircraft), Agronegocios (hail, livestock, silage bag, multi-risk and parametric agricultural insurance), Deportes & Entretenimiento (event cancellation, performer non-appearance, spectator liability and prize coverage), Reaseguro Facultativo (facultative reinsurance covering aviation, surety, cyber, marine, construction and other complex risks), and a specialized Moto Adventure Premium motorcycle product. The business runs on a quote-based, contact-driven sales motion with no disclosed self-service technology platform beyond a single online quote form on the motorcycle product.

Revenue is generated through insurance brokerage commissions on policies placed with national and international insurers and reinsurers. Go-to-market is sales-led and relationship-based, with no public pricing disclosed and no mass-market distribution channel; the company website and direct email serve as the primary marketing and intake channels. The firm has not disclosed funding, M&A activity, or financial performance, and has no app, API, SDK or proprietary technology beyond its brokerage operation.
