White Mountains Insurance Group\u2019s specialty P&C re\/insurance subsidiary, Ark Insurance Holdings Limited, has renewed Outrigger Re Ltd at a smaller size for business incepting during calendar year 2026, reflecting increased use of traditional quota share reinsurance.<\/p>\n

\"\"As in 2025, the reinsurance sidecar entered into a quota share with Ark<\/a> to provide collateralized reinsurance protection on a portion of Ark Bermuda’s global property catastrophe portfolio.<\/p>\n

According to Ark, Outrigger deployed $70 million of total investor capital for the 2026 underwriting year, all of which was provided by third-party investors, excluding White Mountains.<\/p>\n

As mentioned, the reduction in Outrigger\u2019s size was driven by Ark\u2019s increased reliance on traditional quota share reinsurance for 2026.<\/p>\n

In Q3 2025, White Mountains recorded gross written premiums of $366 million and an improved combined ratio of 73% for its Ark\/WM Outrigger segment<\/a>. Net written premiums reached $287 million during the quarter, while net earned premiums grew to $542 million.<\/p>\n

The directory also includes information on sponsors, classes of business, sidecar size, where available, and links to related Artemis coverage.<\/p>\n
