The Barbados-licensed life insurer anchors the financial services platform Geneva is building across insurance, asset management, and private wealth, with continuity of licenses, management, and policyholder service
HOLLYWOOD, Fla., July 27, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Geneva Life Holdings, LLC (“Geneva” or “GLH”), an independently owned financial services holding company, today announced its acquisition of Geneva International Insurance (“GII”), a Barbados-domiciled life insurance company specializing in private placement life insurance (PPLI) and private placement variable annuity (PPVA) solutions for eligible high-net-worth families, family offices, and institutions. The transaction, completed in March 2026, makes GII the cornerstone of the financial services platform Geneva is building across insurance, asset management, and private wealth. Terms were not disclosed.
GII has served policyholders since 2016. Over the past decade, GII built what is difficult to replicate: differentiated insurance know-how, mature policy operations, and standing relationships with regulators and counterparties, together with the legal and tax architecture that private placement structures require. The acquisition preserves that foundation in full: GII’s licenses, regulatory standing, management, and policy administration continue without interruption, and in-force policies remain administered under their existing terms.
“Geneva starts from a simple conviction,” said David M. Borowsky, Geneva’s Chief Executive Officer and Managing Partner. “The insurer belongs on the same side of the table as the families and advisors it serves. GII furthers that conviction, adding its licenses, balance sheet, and a decade of operating excellence. Everything we build starts from that foundation.”
Geneva is owned by its management and employees, and that ownership underpins its long-term investment in GII. The same alignment shapes the design of the business, from fee architecture to reporting.
“Nothing changes for policyholders, and that is the point,” said Nikita Gibson, Managing Director, Insurance Operations. “Our licenses, our regulatory relationships, and our service commitments continue exactly as they were. We are retaining and expanding our team in Barbados, because operational depth and expertise in our home jurisdiction is the foundation of this platform.”
