As a long-term investor, we are confident in the growth potential of the specialty insurance sector, and of Miller within it,” said Yong Cheen Choo, chief investment officer of private equity at GIC.
The transaction is expected to complete in the first quarter of 2021 and is subject to regulatory approval.
