Broker acquires private equity benefits consultant

Insurance broker Integro Ltd., New York, on Wednesday said it has acquired Atlanta-based national health benefits consultant Clearview Group Inc.

Terms of the deal were not disclosed.

Clearview specializes in providing health and welfare benefits solutions to private equity firms.

Clearview and its staff will remain in the Atlanta office, and Clearview’s 15 employees will join Integro, according to an Integro spokeswoman. The health benefits consultant will operate under a co-branded name before officially adopting the Integro brand, she said.

“We understand that providing a full suite of risk management solutions to corporate clients means helping them contain the spiraling cost of employee benefits,” Integro President William Goldstein said in a statement. “Clearview has demonstrated skill in doing just that.”

Integro is the 25th-largest broker of U.S. business, according to Business Insurance’s latest ranking.
