We have advised ECI Partners (ECI) on raising debt facilities to support its investment in Insurance Insider, a leading digital platform that provides insights and analysis for the world’s top insurers, distributors, service providers, and investors.

ECI is partnering with Insurance Insider’s management team to leverage its unparalleled market position and deep expertise in the Property & Casualty (P&C) insurance industry to accelerate its growth strategy.

Insurance Insider was part of Delinian, which owns a portfolio of companies that provide data, insights, accreditation and events in select global markets.

A pioneer since 1996, Insurance Insider has expanded significantly across and beyond the London (re)insurance market to become the leading market intelligence provider in the P&C and speciality (re)insurance markets.

Operating across three main products, Insurance Insider covers the global (re)insurance market that flows through London, the US P&C market, and insurance-linked securities. The business’s service offering helps customers uncover new business opportunities and protect against risks through its exclusive insights, deep analysis, and data solutions.

We are absolutely delighted to be partnering with Insurance Insider for the next stage of their growth. We have been thoroughly impressed by Mariana and her team, who have built a category market leader that is trusted by its clients to deliver depth of expertise and quality insights in the complex non-standard insurance industry. Insurance Insider’s customer retention demonstrates the value of those insights in a fast-moving sector, and there is a fantastic opportunity for the business to serve more customers and enhance its product offering, both in the UK and the US.
Toby Fitzherbert, Investment Director, ECI

Insurance Insider has been at the forefront of the insurance industry for nearly 30 years, and we are now at an inflection point. We have found an ideal partner in ECI, who can help us realise our vision and ambition to become the go-to source of intelligence, insights and data to the global P&C industry. I am immensely excited for what is ahead of us and what we can achieve alongside ECI.
Mariana Valle, Managing Director, Insurance Insider

Delighted to have worked alongside with the ECI team again to produce this excellent result.
