NFP, a New York-based insurance broker and consultant, announced the acquisition of EdgeHill Insurance Brokers Ltd., in a transaction that closed on Dec. 16, 2020.
Financial details of the acquisition were not disclosed.
EdgeHill, a P/C brokerage firm based in Toronto, Ontario, specializes in personal lines for high net worth clients, including home, auto, watercraft and personal excess liability, as well as commercial insurance and risk management services for a variety of industries.
The acquisition of EdgeHill represents an opportunity for NFP to expand its expertise for high net worth clients in Canada, as well as incorporate additional service capabilities in its transportation and trucking specialty businesses, said NFP in a statement.
