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, the global reinsurance firm and third-party capital management specialist, saw its third-party capital assets under management dedicated to property and casualty business rise by $610 million since September 30th 2022, with the total reaching a new high at January 1st 2023.

RenaissanceRe’s CEO Kevin O’Donnell is bullish about his firm’s prospects for 2023, particularly in property catastrophe reinsurance where he expects the reset, higher rate environment will persist throughout the year.

At the key January 1st reinsurance renewal season, RenaissanceRe, the global reinsurance firm and third-party capital manager, purchased more retrocessional protection that had been anticipated, according to CEO Kevin O’Donnell.

The leadership at RenaissanceRe, the global reinsurance firm and third-party capital manager, expects fee income from the Capital Partners and related insurance-linked securities (ILS) capital management business will trend higher this year, as the unit’s scale and AuM increases.

RenaissanceRe, the global reinsurance firm and third-party capital manager,raised an additional almost $403 million of capital from third-party investors in time for the January 2023 renewal season, with the vehicles benefiting being its DaVinci Re sidecar and its catastrophe bond fund Medici.

RenaissanceRe’s collateralized reinsurance and retrocession investment fund vehicle Upsilon has returned just over $254 million of trapped capital to its investors across the first nine months of this year.

RenaissanceRe, the Bermuda-based reinsurance firm and third-party capital management specialist, has seen a decline in its external capital under management, across joint-venture and ILS fund structures during the third-quarter, as the total fell by 5.5% to roughly $6.32 billion due to losses from hurricane Ian.

RenaissanceRe, the Bermuda-based reinsurance firm and third-party capital management specialist, has made some changes at the top, promoting David Marra to Group Chief Underwriting Officer, while Ross Curtis moves into the new role of Chief Portfolio Officer.

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.
