Data Behind Subsidiary-Level Transactions That Shape the Insurance Industry - FactSet Insight

The insurance industry has its share of company-level M&A transactions. Two examples from March are the acquisitions of Beazley by Zurich and Equitable by Corebridge Financial. Aside from transactions that involve buying and selling entire companies, the insurance industry is also shaped by M&A transactions at a subsidiary level. Since mid-August, four such “subsidiary” transactions have unfolded that total north of $19 billion: three transactions occurred in the last half of August (Munich Re/At-Bay, Willis Re/BMS Re US, Aon/USI), and one transaction announced last week (EQT/McGill). This report focuses on the AON/USI transaction to show the data FactSet provides for insight regarding the buyers and sellers and details in these transactions.
