In partnership with the company’s senior management team, GI Partners plans to accelerate Insurity’s growth as the company aims to expand its leadership in policy administration and related software solutions and leverage GI Partners’ experience in add-on acquisitions to help drive organic and inorganic growth.
Insurity’s current investors are TA Associates, General Atlantic, and Genstar Capital. The transaction is expected to be completed in the third quarter of 2019.
Headquartered in Hartford, Insurity provides policy administration, claims, billing, and data analytics software to more than 200 insurance clients.

We were attracted to the company’s differentiated technology platform, its ability to deliver high levels of customer value, and its track record of operational excellence. This transaction will enable Insurity to continue expanding its solutions platform to offer a new level of experience to clients, as well as develop enhanced solutions to strengthen their businesses.”
