• | The Company’s total investment result, which includes the sum of net investment income and net realized and unrealized gains on investments, was a gain of $130.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2019, compared to a loss of $35.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2018, an improvement of $165.9 million. The improvement in the total investment result was principally due to higher returns on the Company’s equity investments trading, private equity investments and catastrophe bonds, partially offset by lower returns on its portfolio of fixed maturity investments trading. Also driving the investment result for the fourth quarter of 2019 were higher average invested assets primarily resulting from the acquisition of TMR, combined with capital raised during 2019 in certain of the Company’s consolidated third-party capital vehicles, including DaVinciRe Holdings Ltd. (“DaVinciRe”), Upsilon RFO, Vermeer and Medici, and the subsequent investment of those funds as part of the Company’s consolidated investment portfolio. |
• | Net loss attributable to redeemable noncontrolling interests in the fourth quarter of 2019 was $2.6 million compared to $49.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2018. The change was primarily driven by improved performance from DaVinciRe in the fourth quarter of 2019, compared to the fourth quarter of 2018, which was negatively impacted by significant losses in DaVinciRe associated with Hurricane Michael, the Q4 2018 California Wildfires and changes in the 2018 Aggregate Losses. In addition, the fourth quarter of 2019 included net income attributable to Vermeer and improved performance in Medici. |
• | In the fourth quarter of 2019, total fee income increased by $4.6 million, to $13.2 million, compared to $8.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2018, primarily driven by an increase in the dollar value of capital being managed combined with improved underlying performance. |
• | Gross premiums written increased by $1.5 billion, or 45.2%, to $4.8 billion, in 2019, compared to 2018, driven by increases of $670.1 million in the Property segment and $827.3 million in the Casualty and Specialty segment. The increase was primarily driven by expanded participation on existing transactions, certain new transactions, rate improvements, and the impact of the acquisition of TMR. |
• | Underwriting income of $256.4 million and a combined ratio of 92.3% in 2019, compared to underwriting income of $244.9 million and a combined ratio of 87.6% in 2018. Underwriting income was comprised of $209.3 million in the Property segment and $46.0 million in the Casualty and Specialty segment. Impacting the underwriting result for 2019 were Typhoon Hagibis, the Q3 2019 Catastrophe Events and 2019 Aggregate Losses (collectively, the “2019 Large Loss Events”), which had a net negative impact on the Company’s underwriting result of $418.9 million and added 12.9 percentage points to the combined ratio. |
• | Net income available to RenaissanceRe common shareholders of $712.0 million in 2019 included total net negative impact on the Company’s net income available to RenaissanceRe common shareholders of $348.2 million from the 2019 Large Loss Events. |
• | Total investment result was a gain of $838.3 million in 2019, generating an annualized total investment return of 5.2%. The Company’s portfolio of fixed maturity and short term investments had a yield to maturity of 2.1% at December 31, 2019, contributing $423.8 million of net investment income included in the total investment result in 2019. |
• | Over $1.5 billion of capital raised in 2019 through the Company’s managed joint ventures and third-party capital vehicles, DaVinciRe, Upsilon RFO, Vermeer and Medici, including $175 million from the Company. In addition, effective January 1, 2020, the Company raised over $625 million of capital through Upsilon RFO and Medici, including over $100 million from the Company. |

• | Net income attributable to redeemable noncontrolling interests in 2019 was $201.5 million, compared to $41.6 million in 2018, an increase of $159.9 million, principally due to improved performance from DaVinciRe and the addition of net income attributable to Vermeer in 2019, compared to 2018, which was negatively impacted by significant losses in DaVinciRe associated with Hurricane Michael, the Q4 2018 California Wildfires and changes in the 2018 Aggregate Losses. |
• | In 2019, total fee income increased by $24.3 million, to $114.2 million, compared to $89.9 million in 2018, primarily driven by an increase in the dollar value of capital being managed and improved underlying performance. |
• | The Company’s total investment result, which includes the sum of net investment income and net realized and unrealized gains and losses on investments, was $838.3 million in 2019, compared to $86.8 million in 2018, an increase of $751.5 million. The increase was primarily driven by net realized and unrealized gains on investments of $414.5 million in 2019, compared to net realized and unrealized losses on investments of $175.1 million in 2018. The net realized and unrealized gains on investments in 2019 were driven by net realized and unrealized gains on the fixed maturity investments portfolio, equity investments trading and investment-related derivatives. Additionally, higher net investment income was generated from the Company’s portfolio of fixed maturity investments trading, short term investments, private equity investments and catastrophe bonds. Also driving the investment result for 2019 were higher average invested assets primarily resulting from the acquisition of TMR, combined with capital raised during 2019 in certain of the Company’s consolidated third-party capital vehicles, including DaVinciRe, Upsilon RFO, Vermeer and Medici, and the subsequent investment of those funds as part of the Company’s consolidated investment portfolio. |
• | During 2019, the Company recorded $49.7 million of corporate expenses associated with the acquisition of TMR, which includes compensation-related costs, integration-related costs and transaction-related costs. |
• | On April 2, 2019, the Company issued $400.0 million of its 3.600% Senior Notes due April 15, 2029. A portion of the net proceeds were used to repay, in full, $200.0 million outstanding under the Company’s revolving credit facility, which was drawn on March 20, 2019 in connection with the acquisition of TMR. The remainder of the net proceeds will be used for general corporate purposes. |
• | On February 4, 2020, the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, RenaissanceRe Specialty Holdings (UK) Limited, entered into an agreement to sell its wholly owned subsidiary, RenaissanceRe (UK) Limited, a UK run-off company, to an investment vehicle managed by AXA Liabilities Managers, an affiliate of AXA XL. The sale is expected to close in 2020 and is subject to regulatory approval. |
