General Insurance Article - New Marsh report: Midyear Transactional Risk Report 2015


In the report, we’ve identified that the use of insurance for M&A transactions continues to rise: demand for transactional risk insurance continued to grow during the first half of 2015, with an overall increase of 15% year-over-year to more than US$4 billion in terms of limits placed by Marsh.

 In the report we detail how: 
 • Intense competition among acquirers in mergers and acquisitions is driving demand for insurance.
 • Demand for transactional risk insurance rose in the US, Europe, and Asia Pacific.
 • Private equity firms are the heaviest users of transactional risk insurance but corporations are becoming more comfortable with it.
  
 According to Karen Beldy Torborg, global leader for Marsh’s Private Equity and M&A Services practice:
 “The demand for transactional risk insurance on mergers and acquisitions (M&A) transactions continues to grow rapidly, as competition among acquirers continues to remain intense. Dealmakers, both from the private equity and corporate space are increasingly using insurance capital to get deals over the line and we don’t see this trend subsiding anytime soon. This is true in the Americas, EMEA, and Asia-Pacific.”
