The deal includes the hospital liability portfolio of Basler with technical liabilities of around €200m.

The portfolio will transfer entirely to Bothnia International Insurance Company, the Finnish subsidiary of Compre.

Compre will work closely with Detmold-based Ecclesia Group Assekuranz Service, which will continue to offer claims support for existing customers, and ensure smooth continuity of service for policyholders.

Recently, Compre finished a two-tranche loss portfolio transfer (LPT) for an unnamed European insurer, with the second tranche featuring unexpired risks on a pre-determined basis.

For the first time, Compre has underwritten a two-tranche LPT and is building its pre-packaged forward LPT proposition to offer further future income, while ensuring much more certainty in the future results of its clients.

Besides Bermuda, Compre has operations in Finland, Germany, Malta, Switzerland, the UK, the US and at Lloyd’s of London.
