BOSTON, August 26, 2020 -- Risk Strategies, a leading national specialty insurance brokerage and risk management and consulting firm, today announced that it has acquired Ohio-based, McCamon Hunt Insurance Agency Inc. Terms of the deal were not disclosed.

Located in Boardman, Ohio, just south of Youngstown, McCamon Hunt adds to Risk Strategies’ existing footprint and stable of expert talent in the state. Founded in 1996 through a merger, the firm traces its roots to 1939 and boasts outstanding client retention with some remaining for more than 20 years.

“The current business and insurance market environment underscores the need for expert consultation in risk and liability management,” said John Mina, Risk Strategies’ CEO. “We saw in McCamon Hunt an opportunity to partner with a team that has built outstanding success upon its skills and the trust it has engendered in its clients.”

An all lines agency with offerings spanning group health, commercial package, life insurance and personal lines, McCamon Hunt’s client base is deeply loyal with many top accounts relying on the firm for multiple key product lines. Business segments the agency counts among its clients span from contractors and distributors to real estate and engineering firms.

“Our longevity, both as an agency and with our client accounts, has been built through a focus on expert, individualized consultation and service,” said Stan McCamon, President of McCamon Hunt. “When looking for a partner to help broaden and scale our business, we saw Risk Strategies as a natural fit given their focus on specialization and technical expertise across practices.”

With many of its employees possessing almost two decades of experience in the industry and an average tenure of 17 years, McCamon Hunt offers its clients both stability and depth of expertise in its service.

The acquisition of McCamon Hunt further solidifies Risk Strategies’ Midwest footprint and presence in Ohio.
