Aon Expands Cannabis Insurance Capabilities With Frontier Risk Acquisition
Aon (NYSE: AON) is expanding its presence in specialized insurance markets through NFP’s acquisition of Frontier Risk Group’s retail cannabis insurance business.
The deal adds Frontier Risk’s cannabis-sector insurance and risk management expertise to NFP, strengthening its capabilities in a market characterized by complex and rapidly changing regulation. Financial terms of the transaction were not disclosed.
Frontier Risk provides insurance solutions and risk advisory services for cannabis companies and other regulated-product businesses. As part of the transaction, senior vice president Eric Schneider will join NFP and report to the company’s Healthcare and Life Sciences practice leadership.
The acquisition also complements NFP’s existing life sciences business, giving the company additional expertise in serving clients operating in highly regulated industries.
For Aon, the transaction represents another targeted expansion of its specialty insurance capabilities through NFP. The combination is expected to provide cannabis-sector clients with broader insurance resources while retaining Frontier Risk’s industry-specific expertise.
Following the transaction, Frontier Risk will focus on expanding Strata Specialty, its multi-program manager serving specialized and emerging risk categories.
