Frequent Senior Market Firm Buyer Gets More Cash

Since HGGC invested in Integrity Marketing, Integrity Marketing has completed about 20 acquisitions

When HGGC invested in Integrity Marketing, back in 2016, the companies said that Integrity Marketing had relationships with about 100,000 independent agents, and that HGGC had a total of about $2.4 billion in cumulative capital commitments.

Integrity Marketing says it now has 500 employees, 4 million clients, and relationships with 215,000 independent agents, and that those agents will help the company generate about $2 billion in new annualized premiums this year from the sale of life and health products to older consumers. The company says it believes it's now the largest independent distributor of life and health products aimed at older consumers in the United States.

Steve Carlson, a Harvest Partners partner, said in a statement that he believes Integrity Marketing has developed a winning culture "based on a partnership-first mentality that ensures all stakeholders are aligned."

"We're proud to be part of their team and believe further investment in technology and talent will position the business to continue its impressive trajectory," Carlson said.

Bryan Adams, co-founder and chief executive officer of Integrity Marketing, said in a statement that the company has experienced three years of organic and acquisitive expansion and expects to continue its pace of growth. He did not say whether he expects to see Integrity Marketing continue to buy other companies.
