Acrisure Re, the reinsurance division of global fintech Acrisure, integrates its capital and captives division into a single platform. The integration brings together more than 275 captive specialists across North America and Bermuda. It combines the firm’s established captive business with its specialist reinsurance brokerage capabilities. The new division, Acrisure Re Capital and Captives, is led by Seth Denson, head of captives, who reports to Simon Hedley, global CEO of Acrisure Re. The move is a strategic step to unlock the next phase of growth. Currently, almost 70 per cent of the business focuses on the US life and health (L&H) segment, where alternative and self-insured medical plans are among the fastest-growing areas of the US medical insurance market. The remaining 30 per cent operates across property and casualty (P&C), an area targeted for expansion within the Acrisure Re platform. In the P&C space, the division intends to pursue growth across group and single-parent captives, focusing on sourcing opportunities, executing reinsurance placements, and generating new business for trading partners. The platform is supported by an established segregated cell infrastructure, providing flexible and capital-efficient structures for clients. Acrisure Re Capital and Captives strengthens the firm’s market offering across three connected pillars: reinsurance, corporate advisory through Acrisure Re Corporate Advisory and Solutions (ARCAS), and capital and captives. The division provides clients with solutions across the full programme lifecycle, including feasibility studies, strategic programme design, and captive formation, licensing, and regulatory coordination. It also offers ongoing management, governance, and actuarial support. Commenting on the integration, Simon Hedley says: “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. Seth is the right leader to drive this next chapter, and I am confident in the strength of the team we have assembled around him.” Seth Denson adds: “We are entering this integration from a position of strength. Our life and health captive business is already a proven leader, not by replicating existing market solutions, but by addressing needs the market has historically overlooked. That level of insight and innovation, combined with the capabilities of Acrisure Re, positions us to scale even further. In the property and casualty market, the opportunity is substantial. As we have done in life and health, we will take a proactive approach to creating new opportunities, strengthening relationships with key issuing carriers, and developing tailored insurance solutions across both group and single-parent captive structures. Our segregated cell infrastructure adds a level of flexibility that differentiates us in how we design and deliver solutions. As part of Acrisure Re, we are fully equipped to build and scale a market-leading platform.”
