Who we are:

Enstar Group Limited ("Enstar" or "EGL") is a leading global insurance group. Through our network of group companies, we help others - principally other insurance companies - release capital by taking over liability portfolios which no longer make strategic sense for them to hold. We create value by better managing these "run-off" insurance portfolios and strive to generate attractive risk-adjusted returns from our investment portfolio.

At year-end 2023 we had completed 117 transactions since the 2000. Today, Enstar is the industry's largest standalone run-off consolidator. With around 800 global employees, our network of group companies has a significant physical presence in Bermuda, where our headquarters are located, the United States, the United Kingdom, continental Europe, and Australia.

Enstar maintains a strong balance sheet. We hold long-term issuer ratings of BBB+ with stable outlook by S&P and Fitch. Enstar's capital base continues to grow, reaching $7.4 billion at the end of 2023, including $5.6 billion of shareholders' equity and total debt of $1.8 billion. A market leader in the run-off space, Enstar leverages its expertise in claims management, risk analysis, and investments to generate value. These services make Enstar different, something unique.

A characteristic that is core to our culture: we encourage an entrepreneurial spirit, our colleagues have autonomy to shape strategy, innovate new revenue streams and we reward those who are commercially focused.
