Optio Group Completes Acquisition of Circles Group

Optio Group (Optio), a leading specialty managing general agent (MGA), has announced the completion of its acquisition of Luxembourg-based Circles Group, following receipt of all required regulatory approvals. The transaction was first announced in October 2024.

Founded in 2001, Circles Group is a well-established MGA specialising in contingency and special risks insurance. With over €50 million in gross written premium, it is one of Europe’s largest insurers of cinema and live performances, having insured more than 100,000 films and events. The company is also known for its expertise in events, fine art, jewellery, and equine insurance.

The acquisition strengthens Optio’s presence in the European market and builds on its previous strategic moves, including acquisitions of Netherlands and Brussels-based Den Hartigh, Norway-based S Insurance, UK-based Custodian Management Ltd, and a strategic investment in Italian MGA Heca S.r.l.
