Although Laura Mazzuca Toops, editor of our sister publication, American Agent & Broker, reported in our November edition that the red-hot agency acquisitions market had slowed, deals involving E&S/specialty lines brokers and insurers continued at a furious pace for most of the year before then.
Laura's report from the Eighth Annual Summit Meeting of the Target Market Program Administrators Association in Tempe, Ariz., said that in spite of a slowdown stemming from shriveling capital and a dwindling pool of candidates, smart buyers and sellers could still work out profitable deals where combinations make strategic sense and transactions are well planned.
Similar advice was revealed in a number of articles we published in our newsletters this year.
