Reinsurance sidecar market grew more than $5bn in 2025: Aon Securities (Artemis.bm)
Reinsurance sidecar market grew more than $5bn in 2025: Aon Securities (Artemis.bm)
Aon Securities reports that outstanding collateralized reinsurance sidecar capacity grew by more than $5 billion in 2025, taking the market to roughly double its mid‑2024 size, with growth now driven primarily by casualty and multiline (non‑cat) sidecars that generate float and appeal to private credit and private equity investors seeking diversified insurance risk and investment income. Sidecar terms have been tightened since the loss-heavy 2017–2020 period, improving alignment between sponsors and investors and enabling expansion into non-cat and longer‑tailed lines while maintaining investor protection. Insurers, reinsurers and MGAs are using sidecars and related quota-share structures (including packaged “ReShares”) to diversify reinsurance panels, access retrocession for specialty and casualty portfolios, and place whole-account business, particularly through Lloyd’s and Bermuda platforms. As a result, sidecar capital has become an important tool for supporting cedant growth, managing risk exposures, diversifying reinsurance sources and enhancing commissions, with current investor demand showing no signs of slowing.

Small scheme insurance boom drives record number of buy-in deals in 2025 (Pensions Expert)
Small scheme insurance boom drives record number of buy-in deals in 2025 (Pensions Expert)
Lane Clark & Peacock LLP data show a record 367 U.K. pension buy-in transactions in 2025, up 23% year on year, but with total value falling to £38.2 billion as activity shifted toward smaller deals under £100 million that made up around 85% of transactions by number. Legal & General led the market by new business volume, supported by a handful of £1 billion-plus buy-ins such as major deals for Ford, BP and others, while all 11 bulk annuity providers competed aggressively in the small-scheme segment, driving “exceptional” pricing and innovations in online functionality and member support. LCP notes this heightened competition is expanding risk management options for trustees and schemes, alongside a busy year for large longevity swaps, including BT’s £10 billion of swaps, Lloyds’ £7 billion of reinsurance deals and a £6 billion swap by the BBC Pension Scheme.

U.S. Plan Sponsors Complete $48.5 billion Buy-outs and Buy-ins in 2025 (LIMRA)
U.S. Plan Sponsors Complete $48.5 billion Buy-outs and Buy-ins in 2025 (LIMRA)
LIMRA reports that U.S. single-premium pension risk transfer (PRT) sales rose sharply in late 2025 as sponsors intensified balance-sheet de‑risking under elevated market volatility. New premium for single-premium buy-out and buy-in contracts surged 132% year over year to $28 billion in 2025Q4, with record buy-in volumes ($12.7 billion) and modestly higher buy-out sales despite a small decline in contract count. For 2025 overall, buy-out premiums fell 35% to $31.3 billion while buy-in premiums increased 372% to $17.5 billion, lifting total single-premium PRT assets to $342.1 billion, up 13% from 2024. This shift toward buy-ins suggests sponsors are using phased, lower-commitment structures to manage longevity and asset risk while sequencing toward plan termination, and indicates increasing participation by smaller and mid-sized plans (63% of sales from contracts under $1 billion).
