Transaction expands presence and strengthens positioning in complex corporate insurance lines such as Property, Surety, and Financial Lines
SAO PAULO - Brazil, July 21, 2026 - Sompo International Holdings Ltd. today announced that a wholly owned subsidiary has formalized an agreement to acquire Fator Seguradora in Brazil. The completion of the transaction remains subject to approval by the relevant regulatory authorities.
The acquisition represents an important step in Sompo’s strategy to expand its presence in the corporate insurance market in Brazil, with a focus on specialized, higher value-added solutions. The transaction will enhance the company’s ability to increase its participation in business lines where Fator Seguradora has an established presence and recognized expertise.
“This transaction is fully aligned with our sustainable growth strategy and our ambition to expand our relevance in technical segments with higher added value. Fator Seguradora has a strong and recognized presence in lines such as Surety and Financial Lines, which are segments of growth for Sompo. This complementary nature accelerates our capacity to expand in these markets while broadening the range of sophisticated solutions available to clients and strengthening relationships with our broker partners,” said Alfredo Lalia Neto, CEO of Sompo in Brazil.
“Brazil is a strategically important market for Sompo, and this transaction reflects our disciplined approach to expanding in lines where we see strong client demand, technical opportunity, and long-term value creation. Fator Seguradora’s capabilities complement our existing platform in Brazil and support our ambition to further strengthen our offering in specialty and corporate insurance across International Markets,” said Alessa Quane, Chief Executive Officer, International Markets.
Fator Seguradora focuses on corporate insurance and business risk management solutions, with particular strength in Property, Surety, and Financial Lines.
Today, Sompo ranks among the five largest insurers in Brazil in the Corporate and Agribusiness Insurance segments. Upon completion of the transaction, its relevance in the market will be further strengthened.
Until the regulatory approval process is completed, there will be no changes to the companies’ operations. The organizations will continue to operate independently, and their commercial teams will maintain their normal activities in serving brokers and clients, ensuring continuity, stability, and quality of service.
Mr Neto said: “We are building a consistent growth trajectory based on specialization, technical discipline, and proximity to the market. The combination of our operations represents not only greater scale but, above all, an enhanced ability to respond to the increasingly complex demands of corporate clients. We will remain focused on ensuring a smooth transition, preserving the value of our relationships with clients and broker partners, and maintaining the excellence that defines Sompo’s performance.”

KPMG Brasil provided actuarial and operational advisory services. On behalf of Fator Seguradora, Goldman Sachs served as financial advisor, while the law firm Machado Meyer supported the company as legal counsel.
