Robert S. Goldstein, former chairman and CEO of the managing general agency BenefitPort Mid-Atlantic, has come out of retirement to launch Unique Insurance Concepts LLC, a Palm Beach, Fla.-based holding company that aims to acquire surety agencies.

Goldstein, who sold BenefitPort Mid-Atlantic to a unit of Goldman Sachs Group Inc. three years after buying the firm in 2005 from Marsh & McLennan's MMC Capital, says this is a “marvelous opportunity” for agents interested in selling their agencies.

As the Bush-era tax cuts are expected to end this year, Goldstein says agents should seize the opportunity to sell their agencies now to maximize returns on their years of effort before capital-gains taxes increase.
