With over 10 years of operational experience, Sidstone, Gray & Partners have developed a time tested process which our advisors employ when called upon to assist our Clients. This allows us to execute their business development and Corporate Finance projects. We maintain a proprietary database of over 45,000 industry contacts. This network equipes ourselves with the unique ability to quickly identify potential candidates for successful transactions.
Given our sole focus on the insurance sector, we are qualified to assist Clients with the following types of projects on the Property & Casualty, Life & Health and Reinsurance sectors:
Purchase or sale of an insurance Operating Company
Purchase or sale of an Insurance Shell Company
Capital raising and Private Placements
Acquisition or divestiture of Managing Agencies, Retail & Wholesale Operations and third party administrators
Strategic Advisory and Valuations
Program placements, renewal rights transactions and fronting relationships
Structuring Re-insurance
Our initial approach is to work on a ...
... one-on-one basis with a Client. This allows us to understand their business objectives, as well as their short and long term goals. Rather than passing responsibility, all assignments are lead by a Senior Advisor who oversees a Client's project from start to finish. These Senior Advisors bring decades of hands on transactional experience in Insurance, Finance and Regulatory matters which greatly reduce execution risk and facilitate the successful completion of a transaction.

Our Global Team of M&A transaction professionals includes more than 400 experienced Advisors and over 100 analysts.
Knowledge, Professionalism, Commitment to Customer Service, Creativity, Communication and a Passion for results are the common traits of our diverse and dynamic Team. In addition, each colleague brings important individual expertise to the transaction: a thorough knowledge of Global M&A and an extensive, intimate knowledge of his or her local markets.
