The Settling of Interest Rates in Both the US and UK Provides a More Stable Environment for Renewed M&A Activity

|

Learning: Unstructured

In the eighth episode of MGAA Conversations, Mike Keating sits down with Kevin Donohue, Managing Director of Mystic Capital Advisors, to explore the evolving mergers and acquisitions (M&A) landscape in both the UK and the US. With the Bank of England recently lowering interest rates and US rates stabilizing, M&A activity is picking up across the Atlantic, providing significant opportunities for insurance firms on both sides.

Kevin shares insights into how American firms are increasingly eyeing London-based MGAs and Lloyd’s brokers for acquisition, while UK firms are looking to establish a stronger foothold in the US by acquiring program administrators. He also highlights the growing interest between the EU, UK, and US markets, driven in part by industry events like the recent MGAA Conference. Additionally, Kevin discusses how the upcoming US presidential election could further stimulate M&A activity, with potential changes in tax policies creating dramatic business opportunities in London.
