The resolution of AssuredPartners and related M&A integration risks is the dominant easing, but it is offset by a broad worsening across regulatory, cyber, operational, and macro themes. New AI-driven cybersecurity threats, a 20% surge in healthcare costs, expanded litigation exposure from anti-DEI and anti-competitive allegations, and heightened governance risks collectively represent a substantive deterioration in the non-M&A risk profile. The net picture is mixed, with the M&A cleanup masking a meaningful accumulation of new and escalated risks elsewhere.
