Healthcare benefits firm Aetna has agreed to buy Chicago-based Bswift, a tech platform provider for health insurance exchanges and employers, for about $400 million. Bswift is backed by Great Hill Partners, which will be exiting as a result of the Aetna acquisition.
The deal is expected to be completed before the end of the year.
Following the closing, Bswift will run as a separate business within Aetna under its present leadership.
Last April, Great Hill Partners acquired a minority stake in Bwift. According to Crunchbase, the investment was for $51 million.
