MarshBerry Advises Klaverblad Verzekeringen On The Transfer Of Its Direct Portfolio To Risk

Amsterdam, June 10, 2026 – MarshBerry has advised Klaverblad Verzekeringen (Klaverblad), a Dutch insurer, on the transfer of its direct insurance portfolio to RISK, a leading Dutch distribution and delegated authority business. The transaction marks an important milestone in the execution of Klaverblad’s Strategy 2030, under which the insurer has chosen to focus exclusively on intermediary distribution.

As part of the transaction, the management of the direct portfolio will be transferred to RISK, while Klaverblad will remain the risk carrier. Completion of the transaction is expected before 1 October 2026.

MarshBerry acted as exclusive financial advisor to Klaverblad throughout the process, supporting the insurer with strategic positioning, partner selection, transaction structuring and execution.

“This transaction demonstrates how insurers are increasingly aligning their distribution strategies with their core business priorities and long-term objectives,” said Armand Hoftijzer, MarshBerry Managing Director. “Klaverblad has made a clear strategic decision to strengthen its focus on intermediary distribution and collaboration with distribution partners. At the same time, the portfolio is being entrusted to a highly specialised organisation with deep expertise in delegated authority and distribution, a leading position in innovation and customer service, and a clear growth strategy. We are proud to have supported Klaverblad in this important strategic transaction.”

The transaction reflects a broader trend across the Dutch and European insurance markets, where insurers, brokers and delegated authority businesses are increasingly pursuing scale, specialisation and strategic focus. “This transaction is an excellent example of how collaboration between an insurer and a specialist distribution partner can create value for all stakeholders involved, including the insurer, the distribution partner and ultimately the customer,” Hoftijzer added.

This transaction underscores MarshBerry’s continued commitment to advising high‑quality insurance distribution businesses on strategic transactions across Europe. MarshBerry’s team brings extensive experience in M&A advisory, supporting clients throughout the full transaction lifecycle, from valuation and negotiation to successful execution.

Terms of the transaction were not disclosed.
