This year as of March 31, there were 123 announced merger and acquisitions transactions in the U.S, down 4.9% from 129 deals at this time last year, according to a report Friday from MarshBerry. More than half of the deal activity to date this year, 52% or 64 transactions, has been from the top 10 buyers, the report said, all of which were private capital-backed insurance brokers except for Aon at No. 8. BroadStreet Partners had 15 deals, 12.2% of the total, followed by Inszone Insurance Services with 10 deals, or 8.1%, and Alkeme Holding with seven deals, or 5.7%. Private capital-backed buyers had 86 of the 123 deals, or 69.9%, through March. Independent brokers had 15 deals, or 12.2% of the market, and there have been two deals announced by bank buyers in 2026. Valuations for target brokerages were “elevated” in the first quarter of 2026, the report said, averaging 11.52 times earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, or EBITDA. “There is continued speculation that we will see a lowering of multiples , but the market is still flush with buyers who are well capitalized,” the report said.
