Verdant Rock Secures A+ Rated Reinsurance Treaty for Emerging Markets

Verdant Rock, a Bermuda-based insurer and financial guarantor focusing on emerging markets, has secured a significant milestone by entering into a 30% quota share reinsurance treaty with a panel of leading global reinsurers. The reinsurers, rated A+ on average, will support Verdant Rock's portfolio of irrevocable, unconditional, and on-demand financial guarantees on private corporate, structured, and project finance exposures across emerging markets.

This development, announced on September 15, 2026, marks a major step forward for Verdant Rock, which received its Class 3B insurance license from the Bermuda Monetary Authority just a year ago. The new treaty will bolster Verdant Rock's balance sheet, diversify its capital base, and enhance its scalability for future growth.

Verdant Rock Limited is a Bermuda-based insurance company regulated by the Bermuda Monetary Authority as a Class 3B Insurer. The company currently holds a BBB+ Long-Term Insurer Financial Strength Rating with a Stable Outlook from Fitch Ratings. It provides Basel and ICS-family Solvency regimes compliant, investment-grade financial guarantees on private credit exposures in emerging markets, designed to qualify as eligible credit protection under Basel and major insurance solvency regimes for banks, insurers, and institutional investors globally. The company focuses on private liabilities and does not cover sovereigns, municipalities, or provinces. Its remit covers bonds and loans issued by emerging market corporations and banks, structured financings, asset-backed (ABS) and mortgage-backed (MBS) exposures in securities or loan format, and project finance.

By sharing 30% of the risk with highly rated capacity providers, Verdant Rock can better manage its balance sheet and ensure the stability of its operations.
