RenaissanceRe Capital Partners

The “denominator effect” and investor rebalancing across asset classes has driven some of the biggest challenges for the insurance-linked securities (ILS) market in recent months, Chris Parry, Global Head of Capital Partners at RenaissanceRe, told us in our latest Artemis Live interview.

RenaissanceRe (RenRe), the Bermuda-headquartered reinsurance and third-party capital management specialist, has secured AM Best ratings for the two reinsurers it had established for its Fontana Holdings third-party capitalised casualty and specialty reinsurance focused joint venture.

RenaissanceRe, the Bermuda headquartered reinsurance and third-party capital management specialist, passed on some $372.4 million of losses to investors in some of its managed reinsurance structures during the third-quarter, with hurricane Ian the main driver.

Bermuda headquartered reinsurance firm RenaissanceRe has added another hire to its third-party capital management Capital Partners team, with Preston Farrow joining as an Analyst.

Bermuda headquartered global reinsurance firm RenaissanceRe continued to expand its underwriting in the second-quarter of the year, which provided it an opportunity to share more risk with some of its third-party capital partners.

For global reinsurance firm RenaissanceRe, the Medici catastrophe bond focused investment fund strategy has been one of its sources of growth in third-party capital assets under management in recent years, a trend that continued in 2022.

RenaissanceRe is managing the volatile ceded reinsurance and retrocession market by leveraging its ability to cede more risk to its managed capital and so buy less on the open market, according to comments made by its CEO.

RenaissanceRe, the Bermuda-based reinsurance firm and third-party capital management specialist, added almost $568 million of additional capital to its range of insurance-linked securities (ILS) structures and joint-venture vehicles during the second-quarter of the year.

RenaissanceRe believes the work it has put into building out its casualty and specialty reinsurance lines, as well as its third-party reinsurance capital management expertise, mean it would be hard for competitors to replicate its new joint-venture vehicle Fontana, with CEO Kevin O’Donnell saying the company has built a “sustainable moat” around the strategy.

Bermuda headquartered reinsurance firm RenaissanceRe continues to expand its Capital Partners team, adding Keenan Press from Horseshoe as a new VP to lead on investor due diligence, as well as two new analysts in recent weeks.
