Good things come to those that wait? Sometimes. 47 year old Jacksonville FL.-based MGA US Assure just sold to Ryan Specialty for up to $1.475 billion (17.5x LTM EBITDA, if fully earned). In many ways a conservative business - one line of business (builders risk) one capacity provider (Zurich American Insurance) - but an early digital innovator, building a broker portal that now handles 90% of submissions from the firm's 20,000 brokers. In a market impatient for quick returns, proof that patience can be a virtue. #https://lnkd.in/eaW4dVYZ https://lnkd.in/eN8BRR8u

Well said. This is proof that sustainable growth with a focus on making distribution efficient and digitally without disintermediation reaps very large rewards. It also shows that specialty focus on one segment can build trust and through that competitive advantage. MGAs and Specialty focus is what is keeping Insurance relevant and fresh.
