Global insurance brokerage Gallagher has acquired Hunt Benefits & Associates and Tenaglia & Associates, which together operate as Hunt Financial Group, strengthening its employee benefits consulting capabilities within the financial services sector. Financial terms of the transaction were not disclosed.

Based in Charlotte, North Carolina, and Mount Pleasant, South Carolina, Hunt Financial Group provides employee benefits consulting services with a strong focus on clients in the banking industry. Principals Tim Hunt and Tom Tenaglia, along with their team, will remain with the business and continue to operate from their current locations following the acquisition.

The deal enhances Gallagher’s U.S. employee benefits and financial and retirement services platform, adding sector-specific expertise and deep client relationships in banking and related financial services. Hunt Financial Group will operate under the direction of Luke Kaplan, Managing Director of Gallagher’s U.S. Financial and Retirement Services practice.

The acquisition aligns with Gallagher’s broader growth strategy of expanding its specialist advisory capabilities through targeted acquisitions, particularly in areas where regulatory complexity and workforce challenges are driving demand for sophisticated employee benefits and retirement solutions.
