The increase in activity reflects the strong pipeline reported by market participants in recent months, with a number of transactions that had previously been progressing through the market being announced during Q3.
Q3 alone accounts for 75% of the liabilities disclosed this calendar year, driven principally by RiverStone International’s $1.6bn loss portfolio transfer (LPT) with QBE Insurance Group, the largest legacy transaction announced in 2026 to date and the second LPT between the two parties.
