Digital Insurance Acquires Compass Consulting Group and PRM, Inc.


Digital Insurance, the nation's largest employee benefits-only company and a subsidiary of Fidelity National Financial (FNF), has acquired Compass (News - Alert) Consulting Group and its affiliate Prospective Risk Management (PRM), both headquartered in Jacksonville, Fla. Compass Consulting and PRM are premier providers of employee benefits consulting and health care risk management services. The transaction underscores Digital's strategy of expanding its national platform to include complementary lines of businesses.

"Compass' consultants are experts in the design and management of benefits solutions for an array of businesses including large employers, private equity arrangements, associations, and in particular, many of the largest PEOs (Professional Employers Organizations) in the country," says Adam Bruckman, president and CEO of Digital Insurance. "In addition, they offer actuarial and underwriting services through their PRM affiliate which delivers risk management expertise using proprietary predictive modeling and emerging conditions tools. The consulting and risk management capabilities, together with the companies' high-growth track record, make them attractive investments for Digital. Compass and PRM align with our strategy of investing in vertical businesses that thrive on a stand-alone basis, but have the potential to grow significantly by leveraging our capital resources."

"Digital's continued growth in the employee benefits industry through the Compass and PRM acquisitions are market opportunities which create synergies and value for our organizations," adds Brent Bickett, president of FNF. "It also provides additional diversification for FNF into this market, which will increase shareholder value and further strengthen our organization."

"We're excited about this new chapter in our companies' history," says Scott C. Snyder, president of Compass Consulting Group and Prospective Risk Management. "This is a mutually accretive transaction which strengthens our national, regional and local capabilities. We'll function as autonomous subsidiaries," noting that Compass and PRM will remain separate entities and retain their respective names. "We will continue to innovate our service lines and technology offerings, increase our scale and create even greater operational efficiencies. This will enhance our ability to do what we do best - provide state-of-the-art and cost-effective solutions to exceed our cients' expectations. We're on the threshold of transformational growth and very enthusiastic about this next phase of our company's future."
