Acrisure Re has integrated its capital and captives division into a single platform aimed at expanding its alternative risk capabilities and strengthening its reinsurance offering.

The move brings together more than 275 captive specialists across North America and Bermuda, combining captive expertise with reinsurance broking. The new division, Acrisure Re Capital and Captives, is led by Seth Denson, head of captives, reporting to global chief executive Simon Hedley.

The integration supports three core areas of the business: reinsurance, advisory and capital and captives, underpinned by analytics and catastrophe modelling.

Around 70% of the division’s activity is focused on US life and health, while the remaining 30% sits in property and casualty, where expansion is planned. It will target growth in group and single-parent captives, combining captive structuring with reinsurance placement, and working with issuing carriers to deliver end-to-end programmes.

Simon Hedley, global chief executive of Acrisure Re, said: "Capital and Captives is already a highly successful business, particularly in L&H, where it has built a leading position in one of the most dynamic growth segments in the US. Bringing it into Acrisure Re creates something highly compelling: the platform, relationships and reinsurance capabilities of Acrisure Re, combined with deep captive expertise and a proven track record.

“In P/C, we see a significant runway ahead, both in growing our captive programmes and in creating meaningful flow for our reinsurance trading partners."
