NFP Bolsters Captive Brokerage with Trinity Risk Advisors Acquisition
Event summary
- NFP, an Aon company, acquired Trinity Risk Advisors, a Charlotte, NC-based captive brokerage firm.
- Alan Wise, founder of Trinity Risk Advisors, will lead NFP’s new P&C Group Captive practice as a managing director.
- NFP previously acquired Trinity Consulting, founded by Alan Wise, in 2015.

The big picture
NFP’s acquisition of Trinity Risk Advisors signals a strategic move to capitalize on the growing demand for alternative risk financing solutions, particularly among smaller businesses. Group captives offer a potential cost-saving and control-enhancing alternative to traditional insurance, but require specialized expertise to manage effectively. This expansion complements NFP’s existing RISC practice and leverages Alan Wise’s prior experience in risk management and employee benefits.
What we're watching
- Market Adoption
- The success of NFP’s Group Captive practice will depend on the ability to attract small and mid-sized companies seeking alternatives to traditional P&C insurance, a segment often underserved.
- Integration Risk
- How effectively NFP integrates Trinity Risk Advisors’ expertise and client base into its existing RISC practice will determine the realization of synergies and overall practice profitability.
- Competitive Landscape
- The group captive brokerage space is fragmented; NFP’s expansion will likely intensify competition and necessitate differentiated service offerings to maintain market share.
