Insurance distribution platform Jensten Group has completed a strategic investment deal with Bain Capital after regulatory approval was granted. The strategic investment deal will see Bain Capital back Jensten’s buy-and-build strategy across SME and MGA (Managing General Agent) platforms in the UK.
As part of the investment, Bain Capital will join Jensten’s management team on the shareholder register, with the firm’s existing leadership remaining in place. Jensten and Bain will focus on both organic and acquisitive growth, as well as continued development of the group’s capabilities.
The investment is within Bain Capital’s dedicated insurance investing platform. Jensten Group has completed 37 acquisitions, 14 of which came from within its franchise network, and manages approximately £600 million in gross written premium (GWP). Bain Capital identified Jensten as a scale SME distribution business, with the acquisition providing it with an established vehicle to undertake UK broker and MGA consolidation.
According to Jensten, the capital provided by Bain will support its continued growth and service levels, while providing staff, partners and customers with long-term stability. The investment strategy will encompass technology, product development and Jensten’s regional presence.
Jensten Group CEO Rob Organ (pictured above) said: “This is a very exciting moment in Jensten Group’s evolution, for our clients, our partners, and our people. Bain Capital’s investment and insurance market track record, validate our vision and provides us with the resources and stability to deliver even greater value to the businesses and communities we serve.”
Organ said that the new ownership structure aims to support the group’s long-term plans, rather than changing its day to day operations, with existing management, trading brands and client relationships expected to remain in place.
In accounts for the year to March 31 2024, group parent company Jensten Holdings Limited reported turnover of around £72.2 million, up from £46.2 million in 2023. Despite reporting an operating loss of £19.8 million (up from £8.9 million a year earlier), directors stated that this was in line with expectations and reflected the group's investments in future growth, as well as a £27.5 million amortisation charge relating to its goodwill balance and renewal rights.
