Atlantic Global Risk

What Atlantic Global Risk does

Atlantic Global Risk is a specialist insurance broker founded in 2017 and headquartered in New York, focused on transactional risk insurance across four core solution lines: Mergers & Acquisitions, Tax, Structured Solutions, and Structured Credit. The firm operates within the financial and professional lines segment of the commercial insurance market, serving corporate acquirers, private equity sponsors, and their advisors seeking warranty & indemnity, tax indemnity, and other deal-contingent risk transfer products. By the time of acquisition, the company had built a North American footprint of 10 offices and approximately 110 specialized staff.

The business model is that of a specialty insurance brokerage: Atlantic earns placement commissions and broker fees on behalf of clients seeking coverage from carrier partners, with revenue tied to deal flow in the M&A and structured finance markets. Pricing is not publicly disclosed, and no technology platform, proprietary underwriting model, or AI capabilities are referenced in the available source data — the firm's competitive position is built on human underwriting expertise, carrier relationships, and regional distribution rather than technology differentiation.

In January 2026, Howden U.S. publicly disclosed its agreement to acquire Atlantic Global Risk, with the transaction completed in February 2026 for a reported value of $500M+. The acquisition is part of a broader consolidation trend in the transactional risk insurance sector and gives Howden expanded North American capabilities and international reach in financial and professional lines. Following closing, Atlantic Global Risk operates as a subsidiary of Howden Group Holdings Limited, a UK-headquartered global specialist insurance broker.
