About

Symphony Transact

Symphony Transact is the specialty business of Symphony Risk Solutions focused exclusively on the risk management and human capital needs of private equity firms, independent sponsors, family offices and strategic acquirers. We work across the gamut of alternative asset managers and investment structures — anywhere a sophisticated approach to risk and insurance is needed.

Symphony Transact partners with private equity firms to identify, construct and execute bespoke solutions that meet the needs of this unique market. We help private equity firms protect balance sheets and maximize earnings, while recognizing that the most important factor to the success of a deal is often found within the intangibles — the interactions between the seller and the buyer’s advisors.

As the experienced M&A insurance brokers and advisors, we are an integral part of the deal team.

The Symphony Difference

Deep Private Equity Understanding

We are investors and business owners ourselves. Our advisors take a holistic, multidisciplinary approach to insurance due diligence. We bring an intimate knowledge of the investment business side, not only the insurance side.

We’re fluent in financial statements and purchase agreements in addition to property insurance policies And we know the difference between co-insurance and co-investment.

More than Out-of-the-Box Solutions

Because we’re experts in the equity firm industry, we have ready-to-do strategies for managing your portfolio and enterprise risk.

We also bring out insights to carefully-tailor solutions to managing employee benefits, self-funding, transparency, and access to data, while being proactive to manage costs.

No other broker combines disciplines as seamlessly.

Our Reach

We service clients in all 50 states and worldwide through our global partnerships. Our teams are built around experts in both industry- and product-specific specialties.

Our method to create, implement, and execute our capabilities separates and differentiates us from publicly traded multinational behemoths, regional/local generalists, and “buy-and-flip” aggregators.
