Global Atlantic Financial Group and Ivy have established a $1bn co-investment vehicle to co-invest in new reinsurance transactions.

Ivy Co-Investment Vehicle will invest in new reinsurance opportunities sourced by Global Atlantic’s institutional reinsurance business.

Both reinsurance of life & annuity blocks and reinsurance of pension risk transfer (PRT) are included in these transactions.

Global Atlantic institutional business head Manu Sareen said: “The Ivy co-investment vehicle provides Global Atlantic with access to up to approximately $1bn of additional capital for new transactions.

“This co-investment vehicle provides Global Atlantic with significant flexibility to better serve our reinsurance clients and gives our co-investors an opportunity to earn compelling risk-adjusted returns by deploying capital in this attractive market.”

The investment vehicle will act as a kind of sidecar to enable institutional investors to participate in the returns of life and annuity reinsurance transactions.
