Pinnacle Buys Bermuda Actuary Ordinance, Gains Canada Renewal Rights

Independent Contractor Arrangement

Julie Perron, president of both Ordinance and Grape Bay, will remain based in Canada and work with Pinnacle as an independent contractor to serve former clients. The arrangement retains Perron’s experience without requiring a full-time integration.

25 Years of Actuarial Expertise

Perron brings more than 25 years of actuarial experience, with deep expertise in captive insurance, loss reserving, pricing and structuring of reinsurance programs. Managing Principal Roosevelt Mosley emphasized her value:

“Julie will bring a wealth of international knowledge and experience to our firm. We’re looking forward to bringing her expertise, knowledge and skills to bear on behalf of our clients in all markets we serve,” Mosley said.

Strategic Rationale: International Reach and Service Enhancement

Broader Client Coverage

The dual acquisition increases Pinnacle’s international presence and enhances services for clients in Bermuda and Canada. Mosley described the deal as one that will “expand and deepen the expertise, market knowledge, capabilities and scale of service for clients of Ordinance and Grape Bay.”

Property and Casualty Growth Tailwind

The global P&C insurance industry is growing. Walling noted the acquisition positions Pinnacle to deliver best-in-class consulting services and actuarial expertise in both Bermuda and Canada. The combination of a new Canadian subsidiary and a strengthened Bermuda operation gives Pinnacle a two-market platform for further international growth.

“Pinnacle is pleased to announce this key strategic acquisition, and we look forward to working with Julie,” Mosley said. “This acquisition of Ordinance and clients of Grape Bay will increase Pinnacle’s international presence and enhance the services we provide our clients in Bermuda and Canada.”

Post-Deal Integration Path

The effective date of June 30, 2026, gives Pinnacle several months to complete integration work. Key steps include transferring Grape Bay clients into the Canadian subsidiary, onboarding Perron as an independent contractor, and absorbing Ordinance’s Bermuda operations. Success will depend on retaining the existing client relationships and merging two consulting cultures without disruption.

For stock market analysis readers tracking consolidation in the actuarial services space, this deal signals that mid-sized consulting firms are using targeted acquisitions to gain geographic scale without overleveraging. The renewal-rights approach for Grape Bay is a particularly capital-efficient strategy worth watching if other firms adopt similar structures.
