Milestone Transaction Establishes Ledger as Partner of Choice in Casualty ILS and Highlights Market Expansion

NEW YORK, Sept. 24, 2024  /PRNewswire/ — Ledger Investing, the leading marketplace connecting insurance risk to capital, today announced the successful funding and launch of a new casualty sidecar facility. This sidecar will provide up to $100 million of capital to finance the casualty reinsurance business of a global reinsurer over three underwriting years on a quota share basis.

Ledger Re SPC, a Cayman-based subsidiary of Ledger Investing that provides institutional investors access to casualty insurance-linked securities (ILS), served as the retrocessionaire. Ledger Capital Markets acted as the sole structuring agent and bookrunner for the deal, reinforcing Ledger’s position as the leader in casualty ILS.

Samir Shah, CEO of Ledger, said “This is an important development for Ledger as we expand from primarily securitizing MGA-originated portfolios to supporting the long-term capital management of leading (re)insurers.

“This transaction underscores the significant investor interest we are witnessing in this diversifying asset class. The capital efficiencies enabled by casualty ILS are driving a growing demand for these products by (re)insurers.” Alex Freiberg, CEO of Ledger Capital Markets.

STOCKHOLM, Sept. 24, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — EQT is pleased to announce that the EQT Mid Market Europe fund (“EQT”) has agreed to sell its majority stake in Dunlop Protective Footwear (“Dunlop or the “Company”) to Gilde Equity Management (“GEM”).
