Overview

Arcus is a life and annuity (L&A) insurance services platform that leverages technology to help insurers and reinsurers better connect with and serve their policyholders throughout the full policy lifecycle. The company brings together an experienced team of L&A insurance executives with deep expertise in actuarial science, technology, compliance, and operations.

Arcus is structured as a Bermuda-domiciled holding company (Arcus Ltd.) with a U.S. operating affiliate (Arcus Holdings Inc., based in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida). The company is majority owned by BDT & MSD Holdings, L.P., a leading merchant bank and family capital advisory firm. In July 2024, Arcus and BDT & MSD acquired Investors Life Insurance Company of North America (ILICNA), a Texas-domiciled life and annuity carrier licensed in 49 states, to serve as their U.S. insurance operating vehicle.

Arcus is establishing a technology-enabled distribution and servicing platform that aims to modernize how life insurance and annuities are delivered to consumers. The strategy is consumer-centric and focuses on the full lifecycle needs of policyholders and partner networks -- from distribution through claims and surrender.
