B.P. Marsh & Partners plc ( (GB:BPM) ) has issued an announcement.
B.P. Marsh & Partners reported another year of strong portfolio activity for the period to 31 January 2026, completing eight new investments and two profitable disposals that generated £30.7m from just £1.9m of invested capital, while remaining debt-free with £49.5m of funds and a growing loan book of £40.8m. The Group increased exposure to specialist insurance and alternative finance platforms through new stakes in businesses such as iO Finance, Oneglobal, Sodalis and several underwriting and intermediary start-ups, while also providing follow-on funding to existing holdings like Pantheon Specialty to support expansion into areas such as digital asset insurance.
Alongside this, B.P. Marsh intensified capital returns to shareholders, paying £8.0m in dividends in FY2026, launching a £1.9m share buy-back and outlining plans to distribute £13.0m in FY2027 and at least £5.0m in FY2028, underpinned by strong realisations and cash generation. Management remains optimistic on the outlook for specialist insurance intermediaries despite downward pressure on reinsurance pricing and accelerating consolidation, viewing heightened M&A activity as a catalyst for new opportunities and reinforcing confidence in the resilience and growth potential of its portfolio companies.
