Investment firm Aquarian Holdings is in advanced talks to acquire U.S. life insurance and annuity provider Brighthouse Financial for approximately $70 per share. This news was reported on September 19, 2025, with sources familiar with the matter indicating the proposed price.
The potential acquisition price of around $70 per share represents a significant premium over Brighthouse Financial's closing price of $45.26 per share on September 18, 2025. Aquarian Holdings is backed by investors including RedBird Capital Partners and Abu Dhabi state fund Mubadala.
This development follows earlier reports of Brighthouse Financial exploring strategic options, including a sale, since January 2025. The advanced nature of these talks suggests a strong likelihood of a definitive agreement, potentially transforming the company's ownership structure.
