Axa

Axa plans to close its $57.60 per share acquisition of XL Group on Wednesday.

The spate of Bermudian deals pointed to the quality of the carriers, Duperreault said.

Reinsurers will keep trying to build scale but dealmaking won’t solve difficulties.

Given some of the eye-watering multiples that have characterised recent carrier M&A deals, it seems like a good time to query whether some of these acquisitions are worth the price paid.

Bäte served as chairman of the forum for three years.

The insurance group will provide services to the Dutch lender’s customers across Europe and Australia.

The incoming EMEA CEO of Zurich will be the first woman to chair the trade body.

Buyer Allianz would probably offer shares for its Swiss peer, the analysts say.

The insurer repeats its top performance from last year and got high marks on online support, extranet sites and e-trading.

Europe is the main spur in growth for the French carrier's rise in its Q1 revenues.

A host of companies are bearing the “for sale” sign and the drivers of deal-making remain intact.
