Hamilton Launches Ada Capital Management
Hamilton Insurance Group, Ltd. today [Nov 23] announced the launch of Ada Capital Management Limited, a Bermuda-regulated insurance agent authorized to underwrite on behalf of Ada Re [Ada Re], a newly-formed, Bermuda-registered special purpose insurer.
A spokesperson said, “Ada Re has successfully secured capital commitments and, subject to regulatory approvals, will provide capacity for high-return collateralized retrocessional reinsurance contracts on a market-facing basis.
“Ada Re will benefit from access to the breadth of Hamilton’s underwriting expertise, including its proprietary portfolio management and pricing system, Hamilton Analytics & Risk Platform [HARP]. Ada Capital operates in addition to Hamilton’s existing sidecar Turing Re and other third-party capital initiatives within the Hamilton ILS platform, which is part of Hamilton’s Strategic Partnerships unit.”
“We are delighted to have successfully established and secured funding for Ada Re, which is another step forward in our ambition to build a leading third-party capital management and ILS franchise over time,” said Tony Ursano, Group CFO and Head of Strategic Partnerships at Hamilton.
“Ada Re will give investors immediate access to the improving pricing, terms and conditions, and expected returns in the retro market. The establishment of Ada Re is indicative of our ability to quickly capitalize on dynamic reinsurance market conditions for the benefit of third-party capital investors.”
Ada Capital will draw upon the portfolio management expertise and leadership of SVP, Strategic Partnerships Hanni Ali, working closely with Hamilton Re, Ltd. Reinsurance CUO Tim Duffin and Hamilton Re, Ltd. SVP, Head of Property Reinsurance Susan Steinhoff.
Willkie Farr & Gallagher LLP and Conyers Dill & Pearman Limited served as legal counsel to the Company.
