BRP Group, Inc. (“BRP Group” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: BRP) announced today the launch of a new reinsurance broking platform – Juniper Re, LLC (“Juniper Re”) – to expand the Company’s breadth of capabilities and capitalize on a unique market opportunity.
“Given the demanding (re)insurance market landscape and changing risk profiles, many of our clients and other stakeholders in the marketplace are looking for a diverse portfolio of solutions for their evolving needs,” said Trevor Baldwin, Chief Executive Officer of BRP Group. “As BRP Group looks to bolster our ability to deliver holistic, innovative solutions to our clients and trading partners, we are confident that this is an ideal time to enter this growing segment.
