Niugini Assurance Group Limited

What Niugini Assurance Group Limited does

Niugini Assurance Group Limited is a privately held general insurance company domiciled in Papua New Guinea, headquartered in Port Moresby. The company underwrites both personal and commercial insurance lines for PNG residents, families, and businesses, distributing exclusively through independent insurance brokers (including AON, MARSH, KANDA, NIUGINI ISLANDS, WERECK, and ANITUA) and bank channels. Its product portfolio spans roughly 25 lines: personal lines (householders, personal accident, domestic worker, pleasure-craft, personal travel, private motor, and medical) and commercial lines (workers' compensation, public and products liability, contract works, commercial motor, fire and perils, industrial special risks, business interruption, marine cargo, group medical, and additional specialty covers such as electronic equipment, machinery breakdown, fidelity, glass, money, and stock floaters).

The company operates a contemporary online insurance system supporting policy administration, underwriting, and claims processing, which it positions as a technology differentiator relative to legacy PNG insurers. Distribution is exclusively broker-led: customers cannot purchase direct, and pricing is not publicly disclosed. The company also runs event-driven brand campaigns (platinum sponsorship of PNG OPEN 2023, gold sponsorship of INNOVATION PNG 2023) alongside website, blog, and social media marketing.

Niugini operates with a very lean team of 7 employees under a leadership team that includes Director and Interim CEO Opi Loi, Non-Executive Directors Prashant Shastri and Cedric Rondoke, Head of Underwriting and Claims Morris Gaveru, and Head of Finance Jack Vai. The company is privately held with no disclosed parent, institutional investors, subsidiaries, or material acquisitions. Revenue, premium volume, and ownership percentages are not publicly disclosed.
