The possibility of a bid comes amid heightened interest in UK-listed firms for their cheaper valuations, including the ongoing $12.7 billion deal talks between Intertek and EQT. Intact, which provides property and casualty insurance, is looking at a big target and its CEO is known to be a “fan” of Hiscox, having spoken highly of it in the past, the report said, citing sources at the British Insurance Brokers’ Association. Intact did not immediately respond to Reuters’ request for comment, while Hiscox declined to comment.
