Who we are:
Enstar Group Limited (“Enstar” or “EGL”) is a leading global insurance group. Through our network of group companies, we help others – principally other insurance companies – release capital by taking over liability portfolios which no longer make strategic sense for them to hold. We create value by better managing these “run-off” insurance portfolios and strive to generate attractive risk-adjusted returns from our investment portfolio.
Enstar’s solutions allow our partners to release capital, dispose of non-core businesses and portfolios, achieve early finality on legacy insurance contracts, and manage claims volatility. In return, Enstar drives earnings through savings arising from our technical excellence and from investment earnings on the reserves we hold.
At year-end 2023 we had completed 117 transactions since 2000. Today, Enstar is the industry’s largest standalone run-off consolidator. With around 800 global employees, our network of group companies has a significant physical presence in Bermuda, where our headquarters are located, the United States, the United Kingdom, continental Europe, and Australia.
Enstar maintains a strong balance sheet. We hold long-term issuer ratings of BBB+ with stable outlook by S&P and Fitch. Enstar’s capital base continues to grow, reaching $7.4 billion at the end of 2023, including $5.6 billion of shareholders’ equity and total debt of $1.8 billion. A market leader in the run-off space, Enstar leverages its expertise in claims management, risk analysis, and investments to generate value. These services make Enstar different, something unique.
