Descriptiontext

Conduit Re is a Bermuda-based, pure-play multi-line reinsurer founded in December 2020 and listed on the London Stock Exchange (LSE: CRE) following an approximately $1 billion IPO that was the largest startup listing in LSE history at the time. The company provides proportional and excess of loss reinsurance across three core product lines — Property (catastrophe, per risk, pro rata/quota share, aggregate), Casualty (general liability, professional indemnity, D&O, healthcare/medical malpractice, environmental, financial institutions, transactional), and Specialty (aviation, marine, energy, engineering & construction, environmental, political violence/terrorism, renewables, specie & fine art, war) — to a global client base that includes Lloyd's Syndicates, monoline specialists, and regional and multinational insurance companies, distributed both directly and via brokers.

The company's technical platform centers on certified catastrophe modeling using Verisk AIR (CEEM) and Moody's RMS (CCRA), supported by an in-house actuarial and exposure-management team that handles short-tail pricing and portfolio analytics. All staff are co-located at the company's Pembroke, Bermuda headquarters (Ideation House, 94 Pitts Bay Road), enabling cross-functional collaboration across underwriting, risk, claims, and actuarial functions. The technology stack is conservative and vendor-leveraged rather than proprietary-AI-led, and the firm carries no disclosed patents or AI/ML products.

Conduit Re generates revenue through reinsurance premiums (written as excess of loss or proportional/risks-attaching contracts and recognized over the contract term) plus net investment income from a conservative AA-credit-quality fixed maturity and cash portfolio (2.8-year duration, 4.2% book yield). In FY2025, the company wrote $1,243.0 million of gross premiums (+6.9% YoY), generated $897.1 million of reinsurance revenue (+10.2% YoY), delivered 11.1% return on equity, maintained a 252% BSCR ratio on $1.10 billion of total capital, and holds an A- (Excellent) Financial Strength Rating from A.M. Best.

He will join the Board of Conduit Holdings as an Executive Director to oversee capital management and financial reporting.Artemis.bmConduit Re’s retro lowers hurricane PML further at July 1st, with increased limit and aggregate coverConduit Re has further enhanced its retrocession program at the July 1st mid-year renewal, reducing its North Atlantic hurricane probable maximum loss (PML) to 8% of TNAV on a 100-year basis (down from 14% at January 2025) and to 13% on a 250-year basis, while also increasing core retro limit, aggregate cover, and adding protection against second and third event losses. The reinsurer reported solid first-half 2026 results, though the enhanced retrocession program increased costs, as it continues to shift its property underwriting toward excess of loss business, which now represents 40% of its property book. Conduit Re noted that the global reinsurance market is softening, with risk-adjusted rates declining 6% across its portfolio during H1 2026, prompting the company to prioritize margin and capital discipline over growth.ReinsuranceNe.wsWe’re identifying key clients in casualty as part of measured medium-term strategy, says Conduit Re CEOBermuda-based global reinsurer Conduit Re reported Q1 2026 gross premiums written of more than $430 million, a near-5% increase driven by 23.1% growth in casualty to $20.6 million, partially offset by a 4% decline in specialty.

The reinsurer's overall risk-adjusted rate change was -5% amid softening market conditions, though management stated pricing remains adequate, and reinsurance revenue rose 12.8% to $240.3 million. The company announced a new $50 million share buyback program and highlighted board changes including the appointment of Nicholas Shott as Chair.ReinsuranceNe.wsConduit Re CFO Elaine Whelan to retire in Q3’26Elaine Whelan, Chief Financial Officer and Executive Director of Conduit Holdings (the parent company of Bermuda-based reinsurer Conduit Re), has announced her intention to retire on September 30, 2026.
