We create value by better managing these legacy insurance portfolios and strive to generate attractive risk-adjusted returns from our investment portfolio.

Enstar’s innovative re/insurance solutions help our partners to reduce risk, release capital, dispose of non-core businesses and portfolios, achieve finality 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.

With around 800 global employees, our network of group companies is positioned across the world’s major insurance hubs and has significant presence in Bermuda, where our headquarters are located, the United States, the United Kingdom, continental Europe, and Australia.

Enstar’s balance sheet strength is supported through flagship carrier, Cavello Bay, who benefits from strong financial strength ratings of “A” by Standard and Poor’s and “A” Excellent with stable outlook by AM Best. Enstar held Shareholder’s Equity of $6.1 billion as of 31 December 2024.
