This is the second agency acquisition for Hub New England in a month
Hub New England has added another Massachusetts agency to its roster. The regional brokerage firm has acquired the assets of the Pinnacle Financial Group and the Pinnacle Insurance Agency. While further specifics on the terms of the acquisition were not disclosed, it was announced that Pinnacle’s CEO, Michael Mingolelli, Jr., and his former partners will join the Hub team upon the completion of the transaction. Mr. Mingolelli will report to Charles Brophy, President and CEO of Hub New England.
“We are delighted to have Michael and his partners David Hauptman, Ken Masters and Marc Mingolelli of Pinnacle join Hub New England. Pinnacle is recognized nationally and throughout New England for its expertise in private placement, estate planning and corporate-owned life insurance, and its staff of seasoned professionals will be a welcome addition to our organization. We are looking forward to expanding Pinnacle’s successful platform throughout our region,” said Brophy.
Based in the Greater Boston area, Pinnacle became a successful agency by focusing on sophisticated life insurance solutions and services to family offices, ultra-affluent families as well as to middle market and large market companies. This latest acquisition comes just shy of one month’s time from Hub New England’s last acquisition of the DFM Insurance Agency in early November.
