2019 In Review: #1 in Insurance M&A

Sica | Fletcher is pleased to announce that we’ve topped the S&P Global rankings for the third consecutive year. In 2019, we closed the largest number of transactions ever for our firm, reflecting the increasingly robust M&A market for insurance brokers driven mainly by private equity sponsored brokerages.

As the leading strategic advisory firm in the country for insurance brokers, all aspects of Sica | Fletcher’s business were extraordinarily active in the past year, including our advisory business, buy-side due diligence and our work with private equity firms. We provided strategic advice in virtually every sector of the brokerage industry and related businesses, including retail, wholesale/MGA, benefits, surety, professional liability, asset management, and claims, working with clients of all sizes.

We advised on 92 deals with approximately $2 billion of transaction volume, including the largest transaction of the year for insurance brokers in which Hilb Group and Abry Partners sold a majority interest in Hilb to The Carlyle Group.

Sica | Fletcher is excited to keep with momentum going into 2020. Please do not hesitate to reach out if you have any questions or would like to get to know us. Give us a call at 516.967.1958 or reach out today if you would like a consultation.
