Acrisure, a fintech and insurance brokerage company, has raised $725m in Series B-2 Preferred Equity round that was led by a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Abu Dhabi Investment Authority (ADIA).
The round had seen participation from Guggenheim Investments on behalf of some clients and Oak Hill Advisors (OHA).
With this fundraise, Acrisure’s valuation has touched $23bn, representing a 31% jump from its last preferred equity raise in March 2021.
The new funding will enable the insurance brokerage firm to continue with its value-accretive acquisitions, expand its tech-enabled solutions, bolster marketing and brand awareness, and invest in human and technological infrastructure.
Furthermore, the new funding cuts down Acrisure’s net debt leverage by 0.6x.
Acrisure co-founder, CEO and president Greg Williams said: “This investment is a testament to our strategic direction and ability to innovate and adapt to the needs of our customers.
