BI’s Article search uses Boolean search capabilities. If you are not familiar with these principles, here are some quick tips.

To search specifically for more than one word, put the search term in quotation marks. For example, “workers compensation”. This will limit your search to that combination of words.

To search for a combination of terms, use quotations and the & symbol. For example, “hurricane” & “loss”.

The Hanover creates sidecar for Chaucer Syndicate

The Hanover Insurance Group Inc. said Thursday that its Chaucer international specialty insurance group has created a reinsurance sidecar to provide collateralized capacity for Chaucer Syndicate 1084's global property reinsurance portfolio in 2018.

Bermuda-based Thopas Re Ltd. will reinsure a share of Chaucer's U.S. and international property catastrophe portfolio through an exclusive quota share agreement beginning Jan. 1, 2018, The Hanover said.

Thopas Re, a newly formed segregated account company, will be initially capitalized with $95 million of third-party investor capital.          

TigerRisk Capital Markets & Advisory acted as sole structuring and placement agent on the transaction. Mayer Brown L.L.P. and Appleby (Bermuda) Ltd. provided legal counsel, the statement said.

"The creation of a reinsurance sidecar provides Chaucer and The Hanover with another means of leveraging our strong underwriting capabilities, and is a first step in creating new relationships with capital market partners," said Jeffrey Farber, executive vice president and chief financial officer at The Hanover, in the statement.
