Reinsurance broker’s move brings 275 specialists into unified offering spanning reinsurance, advisory and captives
Acrisure Re has integrated its capital and captives division into a single platform, as it looks to expand its alternative risk transfer capabilities and scale its presence across life and non-life markets.
The new division, Acrisure Re Capital and Captives, brings together more than 275 captive specialists across North America and Bermuda, combining captive structuring expertise with reinsurance broking and advisory capabilities.
Led by Seth Denson, head of captives, the unit will sit alongside Acrisure Re’s reinsurance and corporate advisory businesses, forming a three-pillar platform supported by analytics and catastrophe modelling.
The integration reflects a strategic push to differentiate the firm’s offering by combining captive formation, programme design and reinsurance placement within a single structure.
The business is currently weighted towards US life and health, which accounts for around 70% of activity, with property and casualty identified as a key growth area.
In P&C, the division will focus on group and single-parent captives, working with issuing carriers and reinsurance partners to develop end-to-end programmes for clients seeking alternative risk financing solutions.
Simon Hedley, global CEO of Acrisure Re, said the integration builds on an already strong platform.
“Capital and Captives is already a highly successful business, particularly in L&H, where it has built a leading position in one of the most dynamic growth segments in the US,” he said.
“Bringing it into Acrisure Re creates something highly compelling: the platform, relationships, and reinsurance capabilities of Acrisure Re, combined with deep captive expertise and a proven track record,” Hedley continued.
“In P&C, we see a significant runway ahead, both in growing our captive programs and in creating meaningful flow for our reinsurance trading partners,” he added.
Seth Denson said the integration positions the business to expand further across both segments.
“We are entering this integration from a position of strength,” Denson said.
“Our life and health captive business is already a proven leader, not by replicating existing market solutions, but by addressing needs the market has historically overlooked,” he said.
“In the property and casualty market, the opportunity is substantial,” he added.
