OIR approves 7th reinsurer under new collateral requirements

The Florida Office of Insurance Regulation (OIR) announced that it has approved Bermuda-based Renaissance Reinsurance Ltd. (Renaissance Re) for modified collateral requirements.

In 2007, Florida law was changed to authorize the OIR to establish lower collateral requirements for non-United States based reinsurers that are highly-rated and financially sound. The OIR has now approved seven reinsurance companies to operate in Florida under modified terms. The other approved companies are Hannover Ruckversicherung AG (Hannover Re), Hannover Re (Bermuda) Ltd., XL Re Ltd., Ace Tempest Reinsurance Ltd., Hiscox Insurance Company (Bermuda) Ltd., and Partner Reinsurance Company Ltd.
