Adds deep expertise in alternative risk financing approaches

BOSTON, November 17, 2021 -- Risk Strategies, a leading national specialty insurance brokerage and risk management and consulting firm, today announced it has acquired TriPoint Insurance, Inc., a leading national specialist providing Performance Based Insurance (PBI) solutions to middle market companies in the construction, manufacturing, wholesale and skilled nursing verticals. TriPoint’s PBI solutions include large deductible program structures, captive insurance programs and other cutting-edge performance-based products. Terms of the deal were not announced.

Originally established in 1917 as a general insurance agency, TriPoint is based in Avon, Conn. An innovator in alternative risk transfer strategies for middle market companies, TriPoint pioneered what it calls Performance Based Insurance (PBI). TriPoint PBI takes a holistic approach to managing client’s overall casualty insurance costs, combining smarter claims and risk reduction management with traditional and alternative risk financing, such as high deductible plans and specialized captives.
