Company Structure

While the recent uncertainty has forced the principles of insurance to transform, the need for an approach that attaches importance to mutual trust with policyholders, generates dynamic solutions in favor of policyholders and in accordance with the new conditions, and more importantly, anticipates risk possibilities has become more evident in line with the rising demand. According to the “New Normal Survey*” conducted with 12,334 people in 12 countries, consumers, who have embraced the conveniences of digital with the pandemic, most want to “get what they pay for” and “trust” the brands they prefer in the face of financial difficulties.

While the insurance sector passed the test of trust during the pandemic, consumers now prefer brands that produce faster solutions regarding the coverage of their policies and offer the most suitable policy for them. As Monopoli Insurance, we closely monitor the products of the 36 insurance companies we work with, evaluate all new products that may be in favor of our customers on their behalf and make our guidance in line with their needs. We constantly strive to be by their side to meet the needs of our customers with the right guarantees and the right prices. For 25 years, we have been serving in the insurance sector by emphasizing the indispensability of investing in insurance for the sustainability of the world, companies and humanity.

We have always stated that having insurance is a human right, that seeing risks in advance, managing them correctly and purchasing insurance accordingly is actually investing in the future. From now on, we want to frequently underline that managing the possible risks of the future from today is actually a dimension of the “sustainability” issue that we all talk about and care about, and we want to raise social awareness on this issue. In this context, we have also rolled up our sleeves for a series of communication projects where we can share our experiences with all industry stakeholders. As we leave behind our 24th anniversary, we will continue our people-oriented attitude as the leading “Risk Management Consultant” of the insurance industry in the coming years, as we have done before, we will continue to prioritize our customers, and we will move forward with our vision of being a brand that “adds value” to everyone and everywhere we touch within our own ecosystem.*KPMG “Consumer’s ‘New Normal 2020′” research

Acrisure and Monopoli Sigorta Announce Strategic Partnership in Türkiye

One of Türkiye's most established and innovative insurance intermediaries enters a new international chapter; Co-Founders Erol Esentürk and İzzet Bonofiyel continue to lead the company.

Monopoli Sigorta and Acrisure — Strategic Partnership

ISTANBUL and GRAND RAPIDS, MI, 3 June 2026 — Monopoli Sigorta Aracılık Hizmetleri A.Ş. ("Monopoli Sigorta"), one of Türkiye's most established and innovative insurance intermediaries, and Acrisure, a leading global insurance and financial services platform, today announced a strategic partnership through which Monopoli Sigorta will join Acrisure's international platform. The partnership marks an important milestone both for Monopoli Sigorta and for the broader Turkish insurance intermediary sector. It also represents Acrisure's first partnership in the Turkish market. Financial terms of the transaction were not disclosed.

Founded more than 25 years ago and headquartered in Maslak, Istanbul, Monopoli Sigorta has built a trusted position in the Turkish insurance market through its strong client relationships, diversified corporate and individual portfolio, long-standing partnerships with insurance companies, entrepreneurial culture and innovative approach to insurance intermediation. In 2016, Monopoli Sigorta was among the first Turkish insurance intermediaries to attract institutional private equity capital with the investment of EMF Capital Partners — a chapter that supported the company's institutional maturity and prepared it for the international stage it now enters.

Through this partnership, Monopoli Sigorta becomes part of Acrisure's growing international platform, while continuing to operate under its established brand and with the same leadership team. Co-Founders Erol Esentürk (CEO) and İzzet Bonofiyel (COO) will continue to lead Monopoli Sigorta in this new phase, driving growth, partnerships and innovation across the Turkish market, alongside the team that has built the company over the past 25 years.

The partnership brings together Monopoli Sigorta's local market expertise, trusted relationships and entrepreneurial execution with Acrisure's global capabilities across insurance, technology, data analytics and international risk advisory. Acrisure's platform is expected to support Monopoli Sigorta in delivering broader risk insight, enhanced operational capabilities and more sophisticated insurance solutions to its corporate and individual clients, while strengthening its ability to serve insurance company partners through improved data, reporting, operational excellence and AI-supported infrastructure.

"I am delighted to welcome Monopoli Sigorta to Acrisure as our Turkish partner. Establishing our first presence in the region has long been a priority for Acrisure. Erol and Izzet share our entrepreneurial mindset, our commitment to sustainable growth, and our dedication to placing clients at the centre of everything we do. We are looking forward to working with the entire team to build on this deep local foundation and to identify further opportunities for growth together. Here's to a long and successful partnership."
Jason HowardPresident, Acrisure International

"Today is a moment of deep pride and great excitement for us. Twenty-five years ago, we set out to build an insurance intermediary defined by trust, long-term relationships and a genuine commitment to the people we serve. Everything Monopoli Sigorta has become has been built together with our exceptional team and with the support of our clients, insurance company partners and business partners.

We are also grateful to EMF Capital Partners, our partner for the past decade, whose support played an important role in strengthening Monopoli Sigorta's institutional development and preparing us for this next chapter. Joining forces with Acrisure marks an exciting new stage in our journey. It represents continuity in leadership, culture and values, while giving us access to broader expertise, stronger capabilities and a truly global perspective. Together, we are even better positioned to create value for our clients, partners and colleagues in Türkiye. This is a proud moment for Monopoli Sigorta and a meaningful one for the Turkish insurance sector. We are grateful for everything that has brought us here and excited about the opportunities ahead."

Erol Esentürk & İzzet BonofiyelCo-Founders, Monopoli Sigorta

"We are proud of the journey Monopoli Sigorta has taken since EMF Capital Partners first invested in 2016. Over the past decade, the company has undergone a significant strategic evolution. As Monopoli enters this new chapter, we wish Acrisure every success in stewarding this exceptional business through its next phase of growth."
