Huntington Advisory, an independent strategic advisory firm headquartered in Singapore with offices
in London and Hong Kong, and MGT Partners, a leading French financial services group
headquartered in Paris, have entered into a strategic partnership to provide clients with enhanced
access to the European (re)insurance broking market and related financial services opportunities.
This collaboration combines Huntington’s deep sector expertise and relationships across the Asian
(re)insurance landscape with MGT’s longstanding presence in the French financial services sector.
Together, the firms will offer clients a seamless advisory platform spanning M&A, capital solutions,
and strategic transactions, with particular emphasis on cross-border opportunities in insurance
distribution and consolidation.
“The French insurance broking market remains highly fragmented, presenting meaningful
opportunities for consolidation and strategic investment,” said Gerard L. Pennefather, Founder and
Managing Partner of Huntington Advisory. “Through our partnership with MGT, we aim to connect
investors and strategic partners with high-quality European platforms poised for long-term growth.”
“We are pleased to partner with Huntington Advisory, whose deep (re)insurance expertise align
strongly with our own values,” said Corinne Previtali, Partner of MGT Partners. “This partnership
enables us to better serve our clients with access to international capital and strategic investors, while
maintaining the bespoke, results-oriented approach that defines MGT. Together, we can deliver
tailored solutions and broaden access to international capital for our European clients.”
The French insurance broking sector, one of Europe’s most dynamic markets, remains characterized
by a large number of independent players and a growing interest from both financial sponsors and
strategic acquirers. The Huntington–MGT partnership will serve as a bridge between European
opportunities and international investors seeking exposure to the region’s (re)insurance consolidation
trend.
