Insurance broker Acrisure has marked its entry to the US asset management space with the establishment of a new division, Acrisure Asset Management.
Concurrently, the company appointed asset and wealth management veteran Patrick Rogers to head the newly formed unit.
As president of the unit, Rogers will oversee the development of the new business line through a combination of Acrisure’s mergers and acquisitions capabilities and distribution through its existing broker network and tech-enabled AI solutions.
Acrisure co-founder, president and CEO Greg Williams said that the move is the first step towards driving the company’s tech-enabled solutions beyond insurance service.
Williams commented: “Acrisure is leveraging our financial strength, industry expertise and global distribution power with the integration of best-in-class artificial intelligence to tech-enable and expand the traditional insurance model.”
Rogers said: “Acrisure already maintains a hugely valuable network of trusted advisers with deep and longstanding client relationships.
