Frequently Asked Questions
What is involved in insurance M&A due diligence?
Insurance M&A due diligence covers financial, actuarial, regulatory and operational assessment of the target. Key areas include reserve adequacy, capital position and projections, regulatory compliance status, licensing, reinsurance arrangements, management quality and systems infrastructure. The actuarial component is often the most material because reserve adequacy directly affects the value of the business.
Why is actuarial due diligence important in insurance transactions?
Reserve adequacy is often the most material uncertainty in an insurance acquisition. Independent actuarial review of the target's technical provisions, claims development experience and pricing assumptions helps buyers form a realistic view of the balance sheet before the transaction completes and avoids post-closing reserve surprises.
What regulatory approvals are required for insurance M&A in Asia?
Most Asian markets require regulatory approval for changes of control in licensed insurance companies. In Singapore, MAS must approve any acquisition of a substantial shareholding in a licensed insurer. Similar requirements apply in Hong Kong, Malaysia and Indonesia, each with their own notification timelines and approval criteria.
