Monument Re inked the agreement to acquire Benelux Life Run-Off SCS, including its acquisition of ABN AMRO Life Capital Belgium, the Belgian life insurance subsidiary of ABN AMRO (AALCB) in September 2017.

Acathia Capital managing partner Thomas Schmitt said: “After having already implemented a life run-off platform in Germany, this success demonstrates that the business model life run-off also works in other Continental European markets. It adds further to Acathia’s unique track record of providing trouble-free exit solutions to insurers with maximum transaction certainty.”

The proposed transaction represents first takeover for Monument Re in Continental Europe while the company is already active in the Irish market where it acquired Laguna Life DAC.
