Enstar Group has announced that one of its wholly-owned subsidiaries has closed a previously announced ground-up loss portfolio transfer transaction with subsidiaries of QBE to reinsure a portfolio of US commercial liability and workers’ compensation business, largely underwritten on recently discontinued programs.
Under the reinsurance agreement, QBE ceded net reserves of around $376m, and Enstar’s subsidiary provided around $175m of cover in excess of the ceded reserves.
Completion of the transaction followed receipt of regulatory approvals and satisfaction of various other closing conditions.
