Pay vs Performance [Table Text Block]
As required by Section 953(a) of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, and Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K, we are providing the following information about the relationship between “compensation actually paid” to the Company’s principal executive officer (“PEO”) (also referred to as CEO) and non-principal executive officer NEOs (“Non-PEO NEOs”) and certain financial performance of the Company. Compensation actually paid, as determined under SEC
requirements, does not reflect the actual amount of compensation earned by or paid to our executive officers during a covered year. For further information on the Company’s variable pay-for-performance philosophy and how the Company aligns executive compensation with the Company’s performance, refer to Compensation - Compensation Discussion and Analysis.

Compensation Actually Paid vs. Total Shareholder Return [Text Block]
Compensation Actually Paid and Company Cumulative TSR
As demonstrated by the following graph, the amount of compensation actually paid to Mr. Grandisson and the average amount of compensation actually paid to the Company’s NEOs as a group (excluding Mr. Grandisson) strongly aligns with the Company’s cumulative TSR over the three years presented in the table. The alignment is because a significant portion of the compensation actually paid to Mr. Grandisson and to the other NEOs is comprised of equity awards. As described in more detail in the section “Compensation – Compensation Discussion and Analysis,” the Company targets that approximately 60% of the value of total compensation awarded for Mr. Grandisson and 48% of the value awarded for the other NEOs be comprised of equity awards, including restricted shares, performance-based restricted shares and stock options.

Compensation Actually Paid vs. Net Income [Text Block]
Compensation Actually Paid and Net Income
As demonstrated by the following graph, the amount of compensation actually paid to Mr. Grandisson and the average amount of compensation actually paid to the Company’s NEOs as a group (excluding Mr. Grandisson) is generally aligned with the Company’s Net Income for 2020 and 2021. Although Net Income decreased in 2022, compensation actually paid increased largely due to the fact that a significant portion of compensation paid to Mr. Grandisson and the Company’s NEOs as a group (excluding Mr. Grandisson) is comprised of equity awards, with TSR increasing by 41.2% for the year, as described above. The decrease in Net Income was driven by significant volatility in the capital markets and elevated catastrophic activity through 2022. The Company does not utilize Net Income as a performance measure in the overall executive compensation program.

Compensation Actually Paid and Operating ROE
As demonstrated by the following graph, the amount of compensation actually paid to Mr. Grandisson and the average amount of compensation actually paid to the Company’s NEOs as a group (excluding Mr. Grandisson) strongly aligns with the Company’s growth in Operating ROE for the three years presented in the table. Compensation actually paid increased largely due to the fact that a significant portion of compensation paid to Mr. Grandisson and the Company’s NEOs as a group (excluding Mr. Grandisson) is comprised of equity awards, with TSR increasing by 41.2% for the year.
While the Company uses numerous financial and non-financial performance measures for the purpose of evaluating performance for the Company’s compensation programs, the Company has determined that Operating ROE is the financial performance measure that, in the Company’s assessment, represents the most important performance measure (that is not otherwise required to be disclosed in the table) used by the Company to link compensation actually paid to the Company’s NEOs, for the most recently completed fiscal year, to Company performance. The Company utilizes Operating ROE when setting goals in the Company’s short-term incentive compensation programs. Additionally, growth in Operating ROE is reflected in TBVPS, which is utilized in setting goals for the performance-based RSUs that are awarded to the Company’s NEOs.
