April 26, 2023

An increase in supply of M&A insurers and reduction in deal flow has forced M&A insurers to reduce premiums and offer more competitive terms to win deals.

Geopolitical tensions and rapidly rising interest rates and inflation combine to create economic uncertainty in mid to late 2022 and this has filtered through to the Mergers and Acquisitions (M&A) market, reducing activity and increasing the time taken for deal execution.

Global economic uncertainty saw many deals put on hold, or fall over altogether, while timelines of active transactions were pushed out as dealmakers navigated these headwinds.

Our M&A Insurance report looks at market conditions in detail and charts the rise of insureds’ bargaining power, as the Australasian market gained capacity from new insurers.

The report analyses the data underpinning Enterprise Value, average policy limits, average gross premium rates, as well as deals by sector and by private equity involvement.
