Here is what Madison Small Cap Fund has to say about BRP Group, Inc. (NASDAQ:BRP) in its Q3 2022 investor letter:
“BRP Group (NASDAQ:BRP) operates as one of largest middle market insurance brokers in a highly fragmented domestic market. Historically, insurance brokerage has been very resilient in economic downturns. Their unique acquisition strategy in a highly fragmented industry should lead to above-average growth for many years. We also like BRP’s organic growth characteristics due to their exposure in middle market brokerage. BRP has attractive margins with room for meaningful expansion. The market selloff gave us an opportunity to initiate this new investment at very attractive prices. We estimate BRP’s private market value to be $35.”
