The platform already has served major life, non-life, and composite insurers and pension firms, as well as leading professional services providers, sides to the deal claim.

The terms of the acquisition were not disclosed. Some 140 Tyche employees will team up with Aon in the deal, sides indicated.

Nick Frankland, chairman of Aon's insurance consulting team, said: "This innovative new offering, combined with our existing global capabilities, will help to bring significant value to Aon's re/insurer clients and deliver new software and consulting solutions to previously underserved markets. As our clients face increasingly complex risks and evolving regulatory requirements, Tyche's expertise is designed to underpin insurers' decision-making frameworks."
