R&Q will now begin various transfer mechanisms in the UK and EU to offer full finality to QBE for these portfolios. This includes a Part VII transfer.

Commenting on the development, R&Q group head of M&A Paul Corver said: “We are thrilled to have been able to provide an exit solution for the investors behind ILS P&C Re.

“The novation includes multiple portfolios across various classes of business, platforms and jurisdictions showing the ability of R&Q to utilise its extensive group structure to provide a range of finality solutions.”

Last year in April, R&Q secured $100m of new equity investment, with the majority from Brickell Insurance Holdings.

Earlier in 2020, R&Q snapped up US-based captive insurer Vigneron Insurance Company (VICI).

R&Q completed the acquisition of VICI from a 100% owned private investment holding company with diverse holdings in an array of real estate, industries, marketable securities as well as other investments.
