Becoming a part of the Risk Strategies team is something special.
As an independent specialty-focused broker, mergers and acquisitions (M&A) is a central part of our growth strategy. With secure financial backing and a supportive leadership team, we partner with companies that are additive to the success and power of Risk Strategies. Sharing the same vision and values allows us to build something great together.
We also benefit by having Kelso Private Equity, one of the oldest and most established private equity firms and a leading investor in the insurance sector, hold a majority stake in our company. Our private equity backing has enabled us to accelerate our strategic M&A activities.
We invite you to explore how the capabilities and resources of a large, national broker coupled with the flexibility, nimbleness, and attentiveness of a local broker, can benefit you.
