ANV to acquire travel protection MGA Assured Underwriting Group

ANV Group Holdings  has entered into an agreement to acquire Assured Underwriting Group (AUG), a UK-based managing general agent specializing in insurance-backed financial protection products for the travel industry.

The transaction, which is subject to approval from the UK Financial Conduct Authority, is expected to close in the third quarter of 2026.

Founded in 1983 and headquartered in London, AUG underwrites travel bonds and financial failure insurance for tour operators across the UK and Europe. The company serves more than 1,600 clients in over 10 European countries and has expanded beyond the UK into markets including France and Germany.

Travel bonds help tour operators meet insolvency protection requirements under UK and EU package travel regulations. Alongside underwriting, AUG provides consulting services to operators navigating travel regulations and insolvency rules.

The acquisition will add a travel protection business to ANV’s Credit & Protection segment and expand the group’s presence across the UK and continental Europe.

The deal marks ANV’s latest acquisition following its purchases of workers’ compensation specialists Associated Specialty Insurance Agency and Specialty Comp Insurance Solutions, as the company continues to build out a portfolio of specialist MGAs across the U.S., UK, and Europe.
