Direct peers

• Marsh Berry & Co. Direct competitor named in Sica | Fletcher's own deal data as the #2-ranked insurance M&A advisory firm by S&P Global. Marsh Berry specializes in insurance agency/brokerage M&A advisory, consulting, and valuation services — overlapping directly with Sica | Fletcher's core service offering.
• Insurance Advisory Partners: Boutique investment bank specializing in insurance sector M&A with offices in New York and London. Cited in Sica | Fletcher's own data as a competitor firm staffed in part by a former Sica | Fletcher employee.
• OPTIS Partners: Boutique investment bank focused exclusively on insurance distribution M&A, providing buy-side and sell-side advisory to insurance agencies, brokerages, and MGAs. Directly comparable service offering to Sica | Fletcher's core practice.
• RPS Bollinger Group: Insurance-focused M&A advisory firm serving retail agents, wholesalers, and MGAs across the U.S. Competes for the same insurance agency sell-side and buy-side mandates as Sica | Fletcher.
• Reagan Consulting: Consulting and M&A advisory firm focused on the insurance distribution industry, providing organic growth consulting and producer recruiting in addition to M&A services — competing for the same insurance agency clients.

Broad incumbents

• Lincoln International: Global investment bank with a dedicated insurance services M&A practice that competes for larger and cross-border insurance distribution sell-side and buy-side mandates beyond Sica | Fletcher's boutique scope.
• Cascadia Capital: Middle-market investment bank with an active financial services and insurance M&A practice. Competes for larger insurance distribution transactions that may fall outside Sica | Fletcher's boutique capacity.
• Acrisure: One of the largest and most active acquirers in insurance distribution and a long-standing relationship/client counterparty for Sica | Fletcher. While primarily a buyer/operator, Acrisure's scale and aggressive M&A posture make it a structural counterparty influencing the advisory opportunity.
• Brown & Brown: Top-tier publicly-traded insurance distributor and one of the most prolific acquirers in the U.S. insurance M&A market. Brown & Brown is both a repeat sell-side acquirer relationship for Sica | Fletcher and a competitor for talent in the insurance M&A ecosystem.

Emerging players

• Seligman Investments / Seligman Advisors: Niche insurance distribution M&A advisor and capital-raising intermediary serving independent agencies. Overlaps with Sica | Fletcher on mid-market sell-side and minority recap mandates.
