Truist news from Insurance Insider
It acquired wholesaler ARC Excess & Surplus, confirming an earlier report from this publication.
Insurance Insider US spoke with the incoming CEO to discuss the future of TIH.
The mid-market unit has been a home run but will now face the fresh test of integrating a $1.3bn revenue business.
With the disposal, TIH would amass a robust war chest for a looming MGA consolidation arms race.
Sources said that the business will be marketed off adjusted Ebitda of ~$500mn, including a title broking asset.
The broker has seen an “outpouring of interest” from talent looking to join since the Truist exit.
State National has been lined up to front for the vehicle, which would be a rare example of third-party capital in this space.
The firm will no longer have to compete with one hand tied behind its back.
The $15.5bn price tag equates to around 18x the company’s 2023 core Ebitda.
