The Jacana Group aims to assist brokers in focusing on what they do best. As a network of local brokers, we believe that together we can scale rapidly, transform effectively, and conform to regulation smartly – with a quicker path to digitization and data excellence that will ultimately deliver better insurance and risk management solutions to our clients.

OUR STORY

The foundations for The Jacana Group were laid in 2016 with the vision that together, we can do better. Subsequently, the group has grown to include a consolidation of carefully selected, independent financial services intermediaries that share this vision, to the benefit of all stakeholders.

The broker partners benefit from a unique equity-based co-ownership business model, with the maintenance of local autonomy and independence and continuity of their brand and legacy. Owner operators remain directly responsible for the day-to-day broking activities whilst leveraging the benefits that come from belonging to a wider group. These strategic benefits provide solutions to the pressing challenges that brokers face such as regulatory pressure, digitisation, scale efficiency and transformation.

The group’s unique relationship with Jacana Administration Services centralizes and takes care of on-platform binder and outsourced facilities, as well as other support services. This allows the broker partners to focus on what they do best – providing risk solutions and advice to their clients.
