Global legacy re/insurance specialist Enstar has launched Scaur Hill Re Ltd., its first casualty reinsurance sidecar funded by a small group of third-party institutional investors providing $300 million in capacity, as reported by Artemis, our insurance-linked securities (ILS) focused sister publication.
The creation of Scaur Hill Re Ltd. is a particular development as it marks the first time Enstar has used a managed ILS structure it owns to directly transfer risk to investors.
While Enstar has a history of collaboration with third-party capital through ventures like Aligned Re, Kayla Re and Enhanzed Re, this is the first time it has ceded a portion of its risk to a structure of this kind to be backed by outside investors, Artemis reported.
