TORONTO, Sept. 01, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Onex Corporation (“Onex”) (TSX: ONEX) today announced it has made an incremental investment of approximately $110 million in Ryan Specialty Group, LLC (“RSG”) to support its strategic acquisition of All Risks, Ltd. (“All Risks”). This preferred equity investment was made by Onex as a follow-on to its investment in RSG in 2018.
Founded in 2010, RSG is a leading international specialty insurance organization which provides wholesale brokerage and highly specialized managing general underwriting services to retail insurance brokers and insurance carriers. The company is approaching $12 billion in premium in 2020.
Formed in 1964, All Risks has grown from a one office excess and surplus lines brokerage facility to a national wholesale broker, managing general agency, and program administrator. Over the past 25 years, continued reinvestment in talent has resulted in an 18% average annual organic growth rate. The company has offices across the country and over 850 employees and is projecting $2.6 billion in premium in 2020.
“Under Pat Ryan’s leadership, RSG continues to impress us with its ability to profitably grow both organically and inorganically,” said Bobby Le Blanc, President of Onex. “The company continues to attract and retain top-tier talent and execute on its strategic vision. Onex is excited about the new partnership between RSG and All Risks and looks forward to continuing to support RSG’s future growth plans.”
