Viguié Schmidt & Associés advises the Husson family on the sale of its remaining stake in the Ascoma group to Chedid Capital
Ascoma is the leading independent insurance brokerage network in sub-Saharan Africa. The founding Jutheau-Husson family opened the network’s first office in Madagascar in 1952.
Within 70 years, the family group has established itself as one of the leading networks of independent brokers (property & casualty and health) in Africa, with 23 subsidiaries in over 20 countries.
After selling 80% of the group in 2021 to Chedid Capital, the Jutheau-Husson family sold the remaining 20% of Ascoma Assureurs Conseils it held.
The VSA team that accompanied the Jutheau-Husson family included corporate/M&A partners Yves Schmidt and Louis Chenard. Groupe Chedid was accompanied by White & Case (Marc Petitier, partner and Yeram Kim).
