Hamilton, Bermuda, January 30, 2025 – Ariel Re, a global reinsurance business with offices in
Bermuda, London and Hong Kong, has announced that its new third-party capital vehicle, Ariel Re
Capital Partners (ARCP), has successfully completed its first fund raise.
The platform was launched in 2024 to give access to Ariel Re’s market leading returns and simplify
the process for smaller investors accessing Lloyd’s of London, removing the requirement to establish
a Lloyd’s Corporate Member.
The comingled fund allows investors such as smaller funds, family offices and ultra-high net worth
individuals, to invest $5 million and upwards into Lloyd’s’ risk through Ariel Re’s Syndicate 1910.
Ariel Re confirmed that ARCP – which has used Lloyd’s’ pioneering London Bridge 2 transformer
vehicle that is designed to attract alternative capital into the market – closed in December 2024
after attracting its first tranche of investors.
ARCP will provide Ariel Re with a multi-year source of capital. Ariel Re did not disclose the amount of
money raised, but said the initial investment will provide approximately 10% of the capital
supporting the 2025 Year of Account.
Henry Paddison, Head of Capital Development & Investor Relations, Ariel Re, said:
“ARCP was designed to simplify the investment process for smaller investors looking to access the
Lloyd’s market, specifically, Ariel Re’s Syndicate 1910. We believe ARCP is a great opportunity for
smaller investors looking to diversify their portfolios, and we are delighted to have successfully
closed its first capital raise.
“Ariel Re is a best-in-class underwriter, and ARCP enables us to attract a wider range of potential
investors to our business. There has been strong investor interest in the first capital raise, and we
are confident that ARCP will provide Ariel Re with a growing source of multi-year capital in the years
to come.”
Burkhard Keese, Chief Financial Officer of Lloyd’s said:
“We’re pleased to see Ariel Re, as an early participant of the London Bridge 2 platform,
demonstrating innovation by developing this new fund to allow smaller institutional investors to
support the growth of Syndicate 1910. This fund raise demonstrates how London Bridge 2 can be
used to expand and diversify sources of capital by tapping into a larger investment pool.”
