Munich Re Group has finalised the acquisition of NEXT Insurance, integrating it into the management structure of ERGO Group AG, its major primary insurance business.<\/p>\n

\"\"The transaction, announced earlier in the year,<\/a> was completed with the companies successfully meeting all conditions, obtaining the necessary regulatory approvals, as scheduled.<\/p>\n

This acquisition marks ERGO\u2019s entry to the US, the world\u2019s largest insurance market, tapping the attractive US small and medium-sized businesses (SMB) segment.<\/p>\n

Small businesses represent 99% of all companies and contribute 44% of gross domestic product (GDP) in the US, a staggering 75% are underinsured, despite a $175 billion total addressable market.<\/p>\n

This significant gap presents substantial growth opportunities, which Munich Re aims to seize with this strategic acquisition.<\/p>\n
