In a recent interview<\/a> with Insurance Asia News, Managing Director and Head of APAC Alice Ho addressed the recent increase in M&A deal volume despite U.S. tariffs and where transactions are being made in the market.<\/p>\n

“This year, deal volumes have come back up, though they still have not reached the level of 2020-21. Even after the announcement of US tariffs in April, we see deals being sustained,” she said.<\/p>\n

“For example, we still see some manufacturing business transactions taking place, where one would think they would be affected by the supply chain.”<\/p>\n

Alice also discussed the need for adequate W&I rates in APAC, adding:<\/p>\n

“Pricing continues to be deal-specific, but as we emerge from a period of more subdued activity in the M&A cycle that has seen rates at unsustainably low levels, we anticipate a normalisation in pricing going forward with rates expected to rise.<\/p>\n

“This is essential for the long-term viability of the class to ensure that sufficient investment is made in claims servicing as activity levels rebound.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
