Marco Capital Holdings Limited (“Marco”) - Europe’s newest P&C Run-off group - today announced that it has agreed to purchase British Reserve Insurance Company Ltd (“BRIC”), a UK non-life insurance company, from Allianz. The transaction is subject to regulatory approval.
The transaction provides the basis of Marco’s regulated platform for future run‐off transactions in the UK/London Market. The acquisition of BRIC will provide Marco with an authorised UK non-life insurance carrier suitable for acquiring portfolios of non-life insurance loss reserves through reinsurance or Part VII Transfer, thereby building its UK run-off business.
