      <subfield code="a">Projected economic, interest rate, and financial market uncertainty along with a presidential electionare among the headwinds that may give pause to insurance companies contemplating M&A in 2020. Despite these potential challenges, companies continue to view alliances, investments, and acquisitions as attractive options when market factors make organic growth more difficult. Organizations that select targets that are accretive, synergistic, and consistent with their overall strategy should be favorably positioned to optimize 2020 M&A opportunities to boost their bottom line, broaden their product portfolio and/or geographic reach, get closer to the customer via digital technologies, and solidify their competitive positioning. This report reviews 2019 insurance M&A activity and explores key trends and drivers for 2020 that may shape executives' M&A strategies as they pursue growth amid uncertainty. We continue to focus primarily on conditions and activity in the United States and Bermuda; however, we have included, for the second year, an appendix with snapshots of insurance M&A in other global markets.</subfield>
