The program was delivered in collaboration with Version 1, another Partners Group portfolio company and a leader in AI-first digital transformation services. Founded in 2017, FRP has over 3,000 employees across 68 locations. FRP built a clean, proprietary policy-level dataset that laid the foundation for measurable AI-driven value creation. Leveraging this data, Version 1's AI Labs built two agentic AI solutions. The first reduces the average policy processing cycle for new clients by 94%, which has led to a doubling in close rates, and the second automates the human-intensive policy checking task. In total, the program represents USD 10 million of EBITDA impact for FRP. The program was delivered by a seven-person team augmented by Version 1, with the first use case taken from concept to production in just 14 weeks. Partners Group acquired FRP and Version 1 in 2022, recognizing the tailwinds across both the insurance brokerage sector in the US and AI-first digital transformation services in the UK and Ireland. Both companies have delivered strong performance since acquisition, with FRP and Version 1 having doubled their respective revenues. Wolf Scheider, Head of Private Equity, Partners Group, says: "We have delivered synergies within our own portfolio to create tangible value, in this case pairing a US insurance brokerage with an AI technology partner in the UK and Ireland. Through this, we have turned a clean dataset into USD 10 million EBITDA uplift and real, measurable growth. We continue to look for opportunities to leverage AI expertise across our portfolio companies."
