Hamilton Re Ltd., part of Bermuda-based holding company Hamilton Insurance Group, has secured $65 million of collateralized capacity for sidecar Turing Re Ltd., through the issuance of Series 2019-1 preference shares in a syndicated private placement, Hamilton said in a statement Thursday.
Turing Re will provide support for Hamilton Re’s global property treaty reinsurance portfolio, the statement said.
TigerRisk Capital Markets & Advisory acted as sole structuring and placement agent on the transaction and Willkie Farr & Gallagher LLP acted as legal counsel to Hamilton Re, the statement said.
