Ariel Re has completed the first fundraising round for its third-party capital vehicle, Ariel Re Capital Partners (ARCP).
Launched in 2024, ARCP streamlines access to the Lloyd’s of London marketplace for smaller investors. It eliminates the need to establish a Lloyd’s Corporate Member, offering a more efficient investment process.
We are a major writer of property catastrophe reinsurance, covering large insurance companies around the world against major losses from natural catastrophes such as hurricanes and earthquakes.
Henry Paddison, Head of Capital Development & Investor Relations at Ariel Re
The commingled fund allows smaller funds, family offices, and high-net-worth individuals to invest in Lloyd’s with a minimum commitment of $5 mn. The platform uses the London Bridge 2 transformer vehicle, further easing market access.
Ariel Re expects ARCP to provide a multi-year capital source. Although the total raised remains undisclosed, the company confirmed the initial investment will account for about 10% of the capital supporting the 2025 Year of Account.
ARCP simplifies investment for smaller investors seeking access to Lloyd’s, particularly Ariel Re’s Syndicate 1910. This is a strong opportunity for those looking to diversify portfolios, and we are pleased to complete the first capital raise
Henry Paddison emphasized Ariel Re’s underwriting expertise and the platform’s role in attracting a broader investor base. He noted strong demand for the initial funding round and expects ARCP to be a growing capital source in the coming years.
Burkhard Keese, CFO of Lloyd’s, welcomed the development: “Ariel Re was an early participant in the London Bridge 2 platform. This initiative shows how the fund can help expand and diversify capital sources by engaging a wider pool of institutional investors.”
