’The acquisition marks an important moment in our strategy,’ says chief executive
Insurance broker Clear Group has completed its third MGA deal in a month by acquiring Profile Risk Solutions, a statement released today (28 July 2023) said.
Profile Risk Solutions, which trades as Profile Underwriting, provides niche property and liability solutions for corporate and SME clients through London market and regional broker partners.
The specialist commercial lines MGA is also a member of the Managing General Agents Association and is a Lloyd’s approved coverholder.
Clear Group acquired the firm after purchasing a 50% shareholding in MGA Thomond Underwriting earlier this month (5 July 2023).
And a week later (13 July 2023), it acquired speciality lines MGA One Commercial Speciality.
”Both firms will now work closely with the Profile Risk Solutions team to build and grow Clear’s MGA proposition to brokers,” Clear Group said.
