Ellipse unveiled Ellipse Collective on October 19, 2026, the name of the subsidiary formed by merging the employee benefits teams of Ellipse Insurance, BCH and Orchestro, [Newswire](https://www.newswire.ca/news-releases/ellipse-unveils-the-name-of-its-new-subsidiary-specialized-in-group-insurance-and-group-retirement-solutions-806853945.html) reported. The subsidiary offers group insurance and group retirement solutions. Ellipse is a Quebec City-based insurance group whose employee benefits operations now sit inside the new entity.

## Ellipse Collective Combines Three Benefits Teams

The subsidiary was created through the combination of complementary areas of expertise that the company said are already generating positive outcomes for employees and clients. By bringing together the strengths of BCH, Orchestro and Ellipse Insurance, Ellipse Collective strengthens its ability to provide comprehensive and integrated support in employee benefits and group retirement solutions.

"This merger not only allows us to create new synergies between our areas of expertise, but also to offer an even stronger 360-degree service offering through close collaboration among all our teams," said Jean-Simon St-Laurent, Vice President of the new subsidiary.

Before settling on a name, the leadership team undertook a strategic reflection process to define the vision, positioning and personality of the new subsidiary. That process led to a vision of a one-stop shop for employee benefits and group retirement solutions, with the needs of clients, their employees and their families at the centre. Collaboration is also a core value, with the talents and expertise of every team member brought into each mandate.

"The name reflects a way of working based on cooperation, knowledge sharing, and the pursuit of solutions adapted to each client's reality. It is a way of working that is unique to Ellipse Collective," said Patrice Jean, President of Ellipse Assurances.

The new organization traces back to a September 3, 2026 announcement, when Ellipse Insurance said it would partner with BCH Collectif and [Orchestro assurances et rentes collectives](https://akta.pro/company-profiles/02lhoax/orchestro-assurances-et-rentes-collectives) to create a subsidiary for group insurance and employee benefits, Aijourn reported. That announcement said the organization would unveil its name and brand in October, with leadership drawn from the three firms.

## Ellipse Collective's December Website Launch

Clients of Ellipse Collective received an official communication on October 19. The transition to the new visual identity and work tools will be carried out gradually over the coming weeks. A brand-new website will be launched in December.
