Marsh & McLennan's (MMC) Affiliate Acquires Vero Insurance
Read MoreHide Full Article
Marsh & McLennan Agency LLC (“MMA”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Marsh & McLennan Companies Inc. (MMC - Free Report) , recently announced that it has acquired Vero Insurance, Inc. The terms of the transaction were not undisclosed.
The acquisition of Vero Insurance by MMA is slated to benefit both the parties. Vero Insurance is renowned for its exceptional insurance products and signature personal service to high net worth individuals, families, and small businesses. The Vero Beach, FL-based insurer, which has been in business for more than 50 years, has built its goodwill mainly through its fairness and integrity. Post acquisition, all of Vero Insurance’s 24 employees will join MMA but continue to work from their existing office.
MMA expects its capabilities to be further enhanced through the buyout. Vero Insurance’s access to the top rated carriers in the U.S. will enable the acquirer to better serve its customers.
On the other hand, Vero Insurance will gain from MMA’s access to the broad resources and solutions of all Marsh & McLennan subsidiaries.
MMA is solely engaged in serving the risk prevention and insurance needs of middle market companies in the U.S.
Marsh & McLennan boasts a strong inorganic growth story. Since 2009, the company has completed a total of 116 acquisitions in order to enhance the scale and size of its business. We believe that the acquisition of Vero Insurance will further enhanced the company’s potential for long-term growth.
Some better-ranked stocks from the finance sector include Equifax Inc. (EFX - Free Report) , MasterCard Incorporated (MA - Free Report) and National Interstate Corporation (NATL - Free Report) .
