2017 proved to be another strong year for M&A activity in the insurance distribution space, continuing the strong momentum that has been building in the market since the recession. With over 500 announced transactions, it was a record setting year in terms of deal volume. Aggregate deal value, however, declined by 26 percent from the previous year ($5.4 billion in 2017 vs $7.3 billion in 2016), suggesting a greater degree of consolidation among small to middle market distributors. Although 2017 had a weak start, partially due to increased uncertainty about the direction of regulatory change following the 2016 presidential election and global geopolitical unrest, the M&A landscape quickly rebounded as investor confidence grew. The high deal volume was driven by a number of macroeconomic and industry specific factors.
