8766.T -1.53%

Tokio Marine has agreed to acquire risk management solutions provider Commodity & Ingredient Hedging (CIH) from Falfurrias Capital Partners for $970m (Y152.17bn).

CIH, based in Chicago, US, delivers risk management assistance to clients involved in agriculture and commodity sectors.

Its services include consulting, brokerage and insurance, all integrated through a proprietary technology platform, enabling users to monitor, analyse and manage risk within a single system.

The company's approach features regular educational advisory sessions combined with real-time access to insurance and derivatives markets.

This set-up allows organisations to address commodity price exposure and implement risk management strategies as needed.

According to CIH, its model brings together advisory and execution functions into one platform, covering both insurance and derivatives options.

The company’s technology platform is said to provide a unified method for clients seeking to manage commodity price risk effectively.

CIH CEO Pat Gregory said: "Through our partnership with Falfurrias Capital Partners, we have worked together to strengthen our technology, expand our service model and position CIH for continued growth.

"Joining Tokio Marine will allow us to extend our reach, broaden our capabilities and deepen the support we provide to clients navigating complex commodity markets."

CIH is also presently an insurance agent for Tokio Marine HCC.

Through this acquisition, Tokio Marine stated that it will gain a complementary business that enhances its specialty offerings in the US agricultural sector and broadens its non-insurance risk solutions capabilities.

The integration will further strengthen Tokio Marine HCC’s agricultural operations, diversify the group’s earnings and deliver greater value to customers in the agricultural industry.

The deal is subject to regulatory approval and is expected to close during the first quarter of 2026.

TMHCC CEO Susan Rivera commented: "The team has built an impressive business that combines deep agricultural expertise with innovative technology to help clients manage price volatility.

“This partnership expands our ability to deliver comprehensive risk solutions beyond traditional insurance and supports Tokio Marine Group's long-term strategy to grow through diversified, fee-based services."
