Acrisure faces debt pressures amid Guggenheim ties, impacting high-yield credit markets. The insurance-broker-turned-fintech is cutting 11% of its workforce while its leveraged debt structure sends ripples through credit markets an hour ago Sponsored: CryptoSlots - Cryptoslots Play now! When a company valued at $32 billion starts cutting thousands of jobs and watching its debt trade at steep discounts, it tends to get the attention of credit markets. Acrisure, the insurance brokerage and fintech hybrid, is having that kind of year. The firm announced in late May that it would eliminate roughly 2,250 positions, about 11% of its global workforce, primarily in the US. The cuts are framed as a modernization push, leaning into AI and automation to streamline operations. Leverage that keeps climbing. S&P Global Ratings revised Acrisure's credit outlook from Stable to Negative back in April 2026. The reason was straightforward: adjusted leverage had ballooned to 9.6x by the end of 2025. S&P's forecasts suggest leverage could gradually improve to the 8-9x range through 2026, but that still leaves the company operating with a debt load that limits its financial flexibility. Acrisure has been an aggressive issuer in the high-yield bond market. Among its outstanding debt is a $925 million tranche of 8.25% senior notes due in 2029, issued in early 2024. Those bonds, along with other Acrisure debt instruments, have slid in price since the start of 2026 but have remained above the levels typically classified as distressed, which is generally around 70 cents on the dollar or below. The Guggenheim connection. Guggenheim Partners made an initial investment during Acrisure's 2022 funding round, when the company was valued at approximately $23 billion. Subsequent rounds pushed that valuation to $32 billion by 2025. A $1.18 billion loan tied to GIH Borrower LLC, a Guggenheim-linked entity, dropped to approximately 72.5-73 cents on the dollar by August 2026. That level is right at the edge of distressed territory, and it signals that the market is pricing in meaningful credit risk on Guggenheim's exposure to Acrisure. What the workforce cuts actually signal. Acrisure's CEO and co-founder Greg Williams has positioned the layoffs as forward-looking rather than defensive. The company says it is investing in AI and automation to replace manual processes and improve margins. The restructuring also has implications for Acrisure's competitive position. The insurance brokerage sector has been consolidating rapidly, with private-equity-backed platforms like Acrisure competing against publicly traded giants such as Marsh McLennan and Aon. Ripple effects in high-yield credit. For institutional investors tracking Guggenheim's exposure, the GIH Borrower loan trading near 73 cents represents a tangible risk marker. If that loan breaks below 70 cents, it would formally enter distressed territory. The next few quarters will be critical for Acrisure's ability to demonstrate that its restructuring can actually bend the leverage curve downward. Missing S&P's projected 8-9x leverage range for 2026 would likely trigger a downgrade, which would further pressure bond prices and increase the company's borrowing costs.

RELM INSURANCE appoints Sue Crawford to lead distribution strategy. * 3 hrs ago Ministers arrive at Downing Street for first Cabinet meeting with Andy Burnham New York, Aug. 18, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) - Relm Insurance ('Relm'), the leading insurer focused on emerging industries, today announced the appointment of Sue Crawford as SVP - Head of Distribution reporting to Shane Doyle, Chief Underwriting Officer. Based in New York, Crawford will lead Relm's distribution efforts, working with brokers and underwriting teams as the company expands its product portfolio, sector reach, and international presence. Crawford joins Relm from Acrisure, where she managed the company's eight largest strategic carrier partnerships, connecting those carriers to Acrisure's full capabilities spanning wholesale, reinsurance, programs, and specialty. She brings over 25 years of experience developing distribution and insurer relationships across the US, London, and Australia / New Zealand markets, including senior roles at Aon and Marsh. Crawford takes over distribution strategy from Christian Capes-Davies, who has moved into a new role as Group Head of Innovation and Digital Capital. Crawford will focus on strengthening broker partnerships and bringing the company's products to a wider market. A key part of that work will be helping brokers identify where Relm's products can add value for their clients and creating clearer routes to market across emerging industries. "Emerging risks like digital assets, AI, and the new space economy aren't niche anymore; they're becoming core to how brokers serve their clients, and that's not slowing down. What excites me about Relm is the distribution side of that: getting the right people in the room early, so brokers and carriers aren't working these opportunities in silos. It's about building relationships that let us bring smarter, better-informed capacity to the table," said Crawford. "Sue has spent her career looking at distribution from multiple sides, and that perspective is incredibly valuable to us," said Doyle. "She understands how to bring brokers, carriers, and underwriting teams together around opportunities that might otherwise sit in separate parts of the market. As Relm grows, we want to make sure the breadth of what we offer is reaching the right brokers and that we are delivering solutions to their clients, and Sue has the relationships and commercial instincts to help us do that." ABOUT RELM INSURANCE The Relm Insurance group of companies comprises Relm Insurance Ltd., a Bermuda-domiciled specialty insurance carrier supporting emerging industries and next-generation technologies, and its affiliates. Relm Insurance was launched in 2019 to address the scarcity of insurance capacity available to high-growth markets and plays an active role in bolstering the resilience of innovative industries.

Anna Wójcik to Lead Acrisure's new Gdańsk Office, supporting the company's growth in Europe. Following its dynamic growth, the company from the financial services and technology sector plans to hire 200 people, with a total of 500 jobs to be created within three years. Acrisure, a global fintech leader headquartered in Michigan, USA, announced that it is expanding its existing presence in Poland by opening a new office in Gdańsk. The office is headed by Anna Wójcik, a manager with more than twenty years of experience in managing global operations and building corporate strategies for international organisations. The investment is intended to strengthen the company's European operational base while also giving an important boost to the local job market and the region's economy. In its first year of operation, Acrisure plans to hire around 200 people, with a total of up to 500 jobs to be created within three years, once full operational capacity is reached. The office will be based in the Olivia Centre complex in Gdańsk Oliwa. As one of the fastest-growing companies in financial services and technology worldwide, Acrisure has already reached revenues of nearly 5 billion dollars and operates across North America, Latin America and Europe, underlining the scale and ambition behind its investment in Poland. The new office in Gdańsk will be an important centre for Acrisure's growing European operations, offering long-term career development opportunities in areas supporting key business functions and enabling better coordination of activities across the organisation. The positions currently being recruited for span a range of key business functions, including accounting and finance, compliance, financial planning and analysis, IT, cybersecurity and HR. A new office under Polish leadership The new office has been headed since 1 August by Anna Wójcik, who brings more than twenty years of experience in managing global operations, leading major transformation projects and developing strategies for international organisations. She joined Acrisure from Nordea, where as Head of Operations Capability and Strategic Project Lead she was responsible for developing processes on a global scale and delivering strategic change programmes. Prior to that, as Head of Cross Functional Services at Bayer, she led the relocation and transformation of key corporate functions within a global organisation. She also spent many years with the General Electric Group, at GE Money Bank and Bank BPH, where she rose to the position of managing director. Anna Wójcik is a graduate of Gdańsk University of Technology and NEOMA Business School. - I was born and raised in the Tricity, so being able to help build Acrisure's growth right here, in my hometown region, fills me with enormous pride. This is one of the fastest-growing fintech companies in the world, and the decision to invest in Gdańsk is a clear sign of trust in the city and its people. Invest in Pomerania has a unique opportunity to build, from the ground up, an interesting and ambitious workplace that will allow people from Pomerania to develop their careers in a truly global environment, said Anna Wójcik, Head of the Gdańsk Office at Acrisure. Gdańsk - talent potential and strategic location The decision to launch operations in Gdańsk stems from the city's reputation as a hub for highly skilled employees and from the strategic significance of the location for Acrisure's growing presence in Europe. It also highlights Poland's increasing importance as an attractive destination for companies in the financial services and technology sectors. - Following the acquisition of Efficient Insurance Solutions earlier this year, its expansion in Gdańsk represents an important step in building a more integrated European operation. By developing its capabilities in a location known for its strong access to highly skilled talent, Invest in Pomerania is strengthening its ability to attract exceptional employees, accelerate innovation and support Acrisure's long-term growth, says Jarosław Zboralski, HR Director at Acrisure in Gdańsk, responsible for recruitment. - The opening of Acrisure's office in Gdańsk is a clear signal to the market - confirming that talent from the Pomeranian region, in fintech and beyond, represents the highest European standard. The scale of planned employment also creates real opportunities for its regional labour market. As the regional government, Invest in Pomerania is pleased that Invest in Pomerania has been able to support this project from the very beginning through the dedicated Invest in Pomerania team at the Pomerania Development Agency, comments Mieczysław Struk, Marshal of the Pomeranian Voivodeship. Acrisure entered the Polish market in 2023 through the acquisition of Unilink, a company headquartered in Poland and operating across Central and Eastern Europe. Unilink is active in, among others, Bulgaria, Romania, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Slovenia, Greece, Moldova and Croatia. Since then, Acrisure has expanded its presence in the region, including through the acquisition of Efficient Insurance Solutions in Gdańsk earlier this year. The new office forms part of Acrisure's wider strategy, which aims to further develop the company's global business based on advanced analytics, artificial intelligence tools and specialist industry expertise.
