Diverse insurance group Randall & Quilter Investment (R&Q) has acquired US-based captive insurer Vigneron Insurance Company (VICI) for an undisclosed amount.

Bermuda-based 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 and other investments.

Vigneron underwrote deductible reimbursement policies to cover the obligations under insurance policies drawn by affiliated firms.

R&Q stated that it plans to combine VICI into the company’s Vermont captive consolidator insurer, ICDC.

The merger is expected to take place in the first quarter of this year, subject to approval from the regulatory bodies.

Randall & Quilter Investment executive chairman Ken Randall said: “We are pleased to have completed the acquisition of VICI, our first transaction in Montana, and provided VICI’s parent company with legal and economic finality for its captive.
