Huntington Advisory, a strategic advisory firm based in Singapore, has announced a partnership with MGT Partners, a French financial services group, to expand their cross-border (re)insurance advisory services in Europe. This collaboration aims to leverage Huntington’s expertise in the Asian insurance market and MGT’s established presence in France to offer a comprehensive advisory platform for mergers and acquisitions (M&A), capital solutions, and strategic transactions.
The partnership is set to address the fragmented nature of the French insurance broking market, which presents significant opportunities for consolidation and strategic investment. Gerard L. Pennefather, Founder and Managing Partner of Huntington Advisory, stated, “Through our partnership with MGT, we aim to connect investors and strategic partners with high-quality European platforms poised for long-term growth.”
Corinne Previtali, Partner at MGT Partners, expressed enthusiasm for the collaboration, noting that it aligns with MGT’s values and enhances their ability to serve clients with access to international capital and strategic investors. “Together, we can deliver tailored solutions and broaden access to international capital for our European clients,” Previtali added.
The partnership will act as a conduit for international investors seeking to engage with Europe’s dynamic (re)insurance market, characterised by numerous independent players and increasing interest from financial sponsors and strategic acquirers. This strategic move is expected to facilitate significant growth and investment opportunities within the sector.
