The story
The company, which was established as Just Retirement in 2004, was listed on the Alternative Investment Market until it was bought out by Permira in 2009. It launched a fixed-term product that links with enhanced annuity rates in 2011 and then set up a pensions de-risking arm in 2012. It went on to join the long term care market and to offer individually underwritten annuities in 2013. The company was the subject of an initial public offering in November 2013.
In April 2016 the company merged with Partnership Assurance and was renamed JRP Group. In May 2017 the company changed its name to Just Group plc.
In July 2025, Brookfield Wealth Solutions, a spin-off majority-owned by Brookfield Corporation, agreed to take over Just Group for £2.4 billion. The transaction was approved by the court on 27 March 2026, so allowing the takeover to complete.
