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”.

RenRe

RenaissanceRe Holdings Ltd. said Tuesday it has launched Fontana Holdings LP, a sidecar focused on casualty and specialty risks, with $475 million in capital, including $325 million from institutional investors.

The remaining $150 million in capital comes from RenaissanceRe.

Fontana has assumed a whole account quota share of RenaissanceRe’s global casualty and specialty book of business, including the credit portfolio, and has the option to raise additional capital over time, the Bermuda-based reinsurer said.

“Fontana builds on our long legacy of innovation in matching desirable risk with owned and partner capital,” RenaissanceRe President and CEO Kevin J. O’Donnell said in a statement.

Fontana is regulated by the Bermuda Monetary Authority and expected to be consolidated into RenaissanceRe’s financial statements.
