Over the past 10 years, the global insurance industry has seen more than 13,000 insurance M&A transactions accounting for nearly $700 billion in deal value. The ACORD Global Carrier M&A study provides an assessment of these transactions and examines how carriers approach M&A – from evolving deal rationales to execution and integration practices.

Join Dave Sterner, ACORD SVP Research & Development as he dives into the results of the study and highlights key insights of interest to agents and brokers.

During the webinar, we will:
– Examine the motivations and priorities behind carrier deals and how they may differ from agents & brokers
– Uncover the association between deal rationale and value creation across carriers, agents & brokers
– Explore the enablers and challenges behind successful M&A integrations and the execution imperatives acquiring companies of all types must consider to ensure value creation
