NEW YORK, May 2, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- ACORD, the standards-setting body for the global insurance industry, today released the first-of-its-kind study Carrier Mergers & Acquisitions: Major Transaction Value Analysis. The study, which examined the largest M&A transactions over the last decade by insurers in Property & Casualty, Life, and Reinsurance, sought to answer key questions about motivations behind M&A activity, long-term value creation, and barriers and enablers in achieving success.

Key Points: 
  • The deals analyzed in-depth represented a total value of nearly $290 billion, accounting for more than one-third of the value of all carrier M&A transactions worldwide.
  • Among other factors, ACORD assessed the M&A transactions by deal size and shareholder value at risk (SVAR) to understand how these contributed to long-term outcomes.
  • Dividing the transactions into quartiles by deal size revealed a "Goldilocks principle" at work — in the long run, mid-sized deals performed better than the largest or smallest transactions studied.
  • Life insurers faced difficulties regardless of the rationale behind the deal, with just 36% of all life M&A transactions creating value.
