An Established History in Africa

Ascoma is now a fully integrated subsidiary of Chedid Capital Group, a globally recognized investment group in the (re)insurance field. With a presence across Europe, the Middle East, Africa, and Asia, Chedid Capital Group’s portfolio includes Chedid Re, an accredited Lloyd’s broker ranked among the world’s 15 leading reinsurance brokers.

Following Chedid Capital Group’s full acquisition of Ascoma in 2024, the combined strength of Ascoma and Chedid Insurance Brokers has created a leading insurance brokerage network across Africa and the Middle East.

Founded in Paris as an insurance brokerage firm, Ascoma soon made the strategic decision to expand across Africa. Guided by an ambitious vision, the company grew to become the leading independent brokerage network in sub-Saharan Africa, with more than 900 employees across 23 countries.

Since 2021, Ascoma has continued its growth journey alongside Chedid Capital Group. In 2024, the Group became Ascoma’s sole shareholder, further strengthening its position as a leading insurance brokerage group across Africa and the Middle East.
