<abstract displayLabel="Summary">Mergers and acquisitions (M & A) tend to come in waves. After declining sharply in the wake of the financial crisis, overall M & A activity in the insurance sector has been relatively low in recent years and has only just started to increase. Surveys also suggest sentiment towards M & A is turning as insurers look for ways to deploy excess capital, boost or diversify revenue growth, build scale and ultimately bolster profitability in the face of ongoing economic headwinds.</abstract>
