NOTE ON FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (this “Form 10-Q”) of RenaissanceRe Holdings Ltd. (the “Company” or “RenaissanceRe”) contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Forward-looking statements are necessarily based on estimates and assumptions that are inherently subject to significant business, economic and competitive uncertainties and contingencies, many of which, with respect to future business decisions, are subject to change. These uncertainties and contingencies can affect actual results and could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements made by, or on behalf of, us. In particular, statements using words such as “may,” “should,” “estimate,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “believe,” “predict,” “potential,” or words of similar import generally involve forward-looking statements. For example, we may include certain forward-looking statements in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” with regard to trends in results, prices, volumes, operations, investment results, margins, combined ratios, fees, reserves, market conditions, risk management and exchange rates. This Form 10-Q also contains forward-looking statements with respect to our business and industry, such as those relating to our strategy and management objectives, market standing and product volumes, competition and new entrants in our industry, industry capital, insured losses from loss events, government initiatives and regulatory matters affecting the reinsurance and insurance industries.
The inclusion of forward-looking statements in this report should not be considered as a representation by us or any other person that our current objectives or plans will be achieved. Numerous factors could cause our actual results to differ materially from those addressed by the forward-looking statements, including the following:
•the uncertainty of the continuing impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and measures taken in response thereto;
•the effect of legislative, regulatory, judicial or social influences related to the COVID-19 pandemic on our financial performance, including the emergence of unexpected or un-modeled insurance or reinsurance losses and our ability to conduct our business;
•the impact and potential future impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on the value of our investments and our access to capital in the future or the pricing or terms of available financing;
•the effect that measures taken to mitigate the COVID-19 pandemic have on our operations and those of our counterparties;
•the frequency and severity of catastrophic and other events we cover;
•the effectiveness of our claims and claim expense reserving process;
•the effect of climate change on our business, including the trend towards increasingly frequent and severe climate events;
•our ability to maintain our financial strength ratings;
•the effect of emerging claims and coverage issues;
•collection on claimed retrocessional coverage, and new retrocessional reinsurance being available on acceptable terms and providing the coverage that we intended to obtain;
•our reliance on a small and decreasing number of reinsurance brokers and other distribution services for the preponderance of our revenue;
•our exposure to credit loss from counterparties in the normal course of business;
•the effect of continued challenging economic conditions throughout the world;
•the performance of our investment portfolio;
•a contention by the United States (the “U.S.”) Internal Revenue Service that Renaissance Reinsurance Ltd. (“Renaissance Reinsurance”), or any of our other Bermuda subsidiaries, is subject to taxation in the U.S.;
3

•the effects of U.S. tax reform legislation and possible future tax reform legislation and regulations, including changes to the tax treatment of our shareholders or investors in our joint ventures or other entities we manage;
•the effect of cybersecurity risks, including technology breaches or failure, on our business;
•the success of any of our strategic investments or acquisitions, including our ability to manage our operations as our product and geographical diversity increases;
•our ability to retain our key senior officers and to attract or retain the executives and employees necessary to manage our business;
•our ability to effectively manage capital on behalf of investors in joint ventures or other entities we manage;
•foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations;
•soft reinsurance underwriting market conditions;
•changes in the method for determining the London Inter-bank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) and the potential replacement of LIBOR;
•losses we could face from terrorism, political unrest or war;
•our ability to successfully implement our business strategies and initiatives;
•our ability to determine any impairments taken on our investments;
•the effects of inflation;
•the ability of our ceding companies and delegated authority counterparties to accurately assess the risks they underwrite;
•the effect of operational risks, including system or human failures;
•our ability to raise capital if necessary;
•our ability to comply with covenants in our debt agreements;
•changes to the regulatory systems under which we operate, including as a result of increased global regulation of the insurance and reinsurance industries;
•changes in Bermuda laws and regulations and the political environment in Bermuda;
•our dependence on the ability of our operating subsidiaries to declare and pay dividends;
•aspects of our corporate structure that may discourage third-party takeovers and other transactions;
•difficulties investors may have in servicing process or enforcing judgments against us in the U.S.;
•the cyclical nature of the reinsurance and insurance industries;
•adverse legislative developments that reduce the size of the private markets we serve or impede their future growth;
•consolidation of competitors, customers and insurance and reinsurance brokers;
•the effect on our business of the highly competitive nature of our industry, including the effect of new entrants to, competing products for and consolidation in the (re)insurance industry;
•other political, regulatory or industry initiatives adversely impacting us;
•our ability to comply with applicable sanctions and foreign corrupt practices laws;
•increasing barriers to free trade and the free flow of capital;
•international restrictions on the writing of reinsurance by foreign companies and government intervention in the natural catastrophe market;
•the effect of Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development or European Union (“EU”) measures to increase our taxes and reporting requirements;
4

•changes in regulatory regimes and accounting rules that may impact financial results irrespective of business operations;
•our need to make many estimates and judgments in the preparation of our financial statements; and
•the effect of the exit by the United Kingdom (the “U.K.”) from the EU.
As a consequence, our future financial condition and results may differ from those expressed in any forward-looking statements made by or on behalf of us. The factors listed above, which are discussed in more detail in our filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), including our Annual Report on Form 10-K (“Form 10-K”) for the year ended December 31, 2019, Part II, Item 1A of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and our prospectus supplement dated June 4, 2020, should not be construed as exhaustive. The effects of the events and circumstances described in the risk factors contained in this Form 10-Q may have the effect of heightening many of the risks contained in our Form 10-K. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made, and we undertake no obligation to revise or update forward-looking statements to reflect new information, events or circumstances after the date hereof or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.

RENAISSANCERE HOLDINGS LTD. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
September 30, 2020
(unless otherwise noted, amounts in tables expressed in thousands of United States (“U.S.”) dollars,
except shares, per share amounts and percentages) (Unaudited)
NOTE 1. ORGANIZATION
This report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with RenaissanceRe’s Annual Report on Form 10-K (“Form 10-K”) for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019. RenaissanceRe was formed under the laws of Bermuda on June 7, 1993. Together with its wholly owned and majority-owned subsidiaries and joint ventures, the Company provides property, casualty and specialty reinsurance and certain insurance solutions to its customers.
•Renaissance Reinsurance Ltd. (“Renaissance Reinsurance”), a Bermuda-domiciled reinsurance company, is the Company’s principal reinsurance subsidiary and provides property, casualty and specialty reinsurance coverages to insurers and reinsurers on a worldwide basis.
•Renaissance Reinsurance U.S. Inc. (“Renaissance Reinsurance U.S.”) is a reinsurance company domiciled in the state of Maryland that provides property, casualty and specialty reinsurance coverages to insurers and reinsurers, primarily in the Americas.
•RenaissanceRe Underwriting Managers U.S. LLC, a specialty reinsurance agency domiciled in the state of Connecticut, provides specialty treaty reinsurance solutions on both a quota share and excess of loss basis; and writes business on behalf of RenaissanceRe Specialty U.S. Ltd., a Bermuda-domiciled reinsurer, which operates subject to U.S. federal income tax, and RenaissanceRe Syndicate 1458 (“Syndicate 1458”).
•Syndicate 1458 is the Company’s Lloyd’s syndicate. RenaissanceRe Corporate Capital (UK) Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of RenaissanceRe, is Syndicate 1458’s sole corporate member. RenaissanceRe Syndicate Management Ltd., a wholly owned subsidiary of RenaissanceRe, is the managing agent for Syndicate 1458.
•On March 22, 2019, the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, RenaissanceRe Specialty Holdings (UK) Limited (“RenaissanceRe Specialty Holdings”), completed its previously announced purchase of all of the share capital of RenaissanceRe Europe AG (formerly known as Tokio Millennium Re AG) (“RenaissanceRe Europe”), RenaissanceRe (UK) Limited (formerly known as Tokio Millennium Re (UK) Limited) (“RenaissanceRe UK”), and their respective subsidiaries (collectively, “TMR”) pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement by and among the Company, Tokio Marine & Nichido Fire Insurance Co. Ltd. (“Tokio”) and, with respect to certain sections only, Tokio Marine Holdings, Inc. entered into on October 30, 2018 (the “TMR Stock Purchase Agreement”). See “Note 3. Acquisition of Tokio Millennium Re” in the Company’s “Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements” included in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 for additional information regarding the acquisition of TMR.
•RenaissanceRe Europe, a Swiss-domiciled reinsurance company, which has branches in Australia, Bermuda, the U.K. and the U.S., provides property, casualty and specialty reinsurance coverages to insurers and reinsurers on a worldwide basis.
•RenaissanceRe UK, a U.K.-domiciled reinsurance company in run-off, provided property, casualty and specialty reinsurance coverages on a worldwide basis. RenaissanceRe UK was placed into run-off effective July 1, 2015, from which date all new and renewal business was written by the U.K. branch of RenaissanceRe Europe. On August 18, 2020, the Company completed the sale of RenaissanceRe UK to an investment vehicle managed by AXA Liabilities Managers, an affiliate of AXA XL.
•The Company also manages property, casualty and specialty reinsurance business written on behalf of joint ventures, which include Top Layer Reinsurance Ltd., recorded under the equity method of accounting, and DaVinci Reinsurance Ltd. (“DaVinci”). Because the Company owns a noncontrolling economic interest in, but controls a majority of the outstanding voting power of, DaVinci’s parent, DaVinciRe Holdings Ltd. (“DaVinciRe”), the results of DaVinci and DaVinciRe are consolidated in the
12

Company’s consolidated financial statements and all significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated. Redeemable noncontrolling interest - DaVinciRe represents the interests of external parties with respect to the net income and shareholders’ equity of DaVinciRe. Renaissance Underwriting Managers, Ltd. (“RUM”), a wholly owned subsidiary of RenaissanceRe, acts as exclusive underwriting manager for these joint ventures in return for fee-based income and profit participation.
•RenaissanceRe Medici Fund Ltd. (“Medici”) is an exempted company, incorporated under the laws of Bermuda and registered as an institutional fund. Medici’s objective is to seek to invest substantially all of its assets in various insurance-based investment instruments that have returns primarily tied to property catastrophe risk. Third-party investors have subscribed for a portion of the participating, non-voting common shares of Medici. Because the Company owns a noncontrolling economic interest in, but controls a majority of the outstanding voting power of Medici, through its wholly-owned parent, RenaissanceRe Fund Holdings Ltd. (“Fund Holdings”), the results of Medici and Fund Holdings are consolidated in the Company’s consolidated financial statements and all significant inter-company transactions have been eliminated. Redeemable noncontrolling interest - Medici represents the interests of external parties with respect to the net income and shareholders’ equity of Medici.
•Upsilon RFO Re Ltd., formerly known as Upsilon Reinsurance II Ltd. (“Upsilon RFO”), a Bermuda domiciled special purpose insurer (“SPI”), is a managed joint venture formed by the Company principally to provide additional capacity to the worldwide aggregate and per-occurrence primary and retrocessional property catastrophe excess of loss market. Upsilon RFO is considered a variable interest entity (“VIE”) and the Company is considered the primary beneficiary. As a result, Upsilon RFO is consolidated by the Company and all significant inter-company transactions have been eliminated.
•RenaissanceRe Upsilon Fund Ltd. (“Upsilon Fund”), an exempted Bermuda segregated accounts company registered as a Class A Professional Fund, was formed by the Company to provide a fund structure through which third-party investors can invest in reinsurance risk managed by the Company. As a segregated accounts company, Upsilon Fund is permitted to establish segregated accounts to invest in and hold identified pools of assets and liabilities. Each pool of assets and liabilities in each segregated account is structured to be ring-fenced from any claims from the creditors of Upsilon Fund’s general account and from the creditors of other segregated accounts within Upsilon Fund. Third-party investors purchase redeemable, non-voting preference shares linked to specific segregated accounts of Upsilon Fund and own 100% of these shares. Upsilon Fund is an investment company and is considered a VIE. The Company is not considered the primary beneficiary of Upsilon Fund and, as a result, the Company does not consolidate the financial position and results of operations of Upsilon Fund.
•The Company formed Vermeer Reinsurance Ltd. (“Vermeer”), an exempted Bermuda reinsurer, with PGGM, a Dutch pension fund manager. Vermeer provides capacity focused on risk remote layers in the U.S. property catastrophe market. Vermeer is managed by RUM in return for a management fee. The Company maintains a majority voting control of Vermeer, while PGGM retains economic benefits. Vermeer is considered a VIE, as it has voting rights that are not proportional to its participating rights and the Company is the primary beneficiary. As a result, the Company consolidates Vermeer and all significant inter-company transactions have been eliminated. The Company does not currently expect its voting or economic interest in Vermeer to fluctuate.
•Fibonacci Reinsurance Ltd. ("Fibonacci Re"), a Bermuda-domiciled SPI, provides collateralized capacity to Renaissance Reinsurance and its affiliates. Fibonacci Re raises capital from third-party investors and the Company, via private placements of participating notes which are listed on the Bermuda Stock Exchange. Fibonacci Re is considered a VIE. The Company is not considered the primary beneficiary of Fibonacci Re and, as a result, the Company does not consolidate the financial position and results of operations of Fibonacci Re.
•The Company and Reinsurance Group of America, Incorporated closed an initiative (“Langhorne”) to source third-party capital to support reinsurers targeting large in-force life and annuity blocks. Langhorne Holdings LLC (“Langhorne Holdings”) is a company that owns and manages certain reinsurance entities within Langhorne. Langhorne Partners LLC (“Langhorne Partners”) is the general partner for Langhorne and the entity which manages the third-parties investing in Langhorne
13

Holdings. The Company concluded that Langhorne Holdings meets the definition of a VIE. The Company is not the primary beneficiary of Langhorne Holdings and as a result, the Company does not consolidate the financial position or results of operations of Langhorne Holdings. The Company concluded that Langhorne Partners is not a VIE. The Company will account for its investments in Langhorne Holdings and Langhorne Partners under the equity method of accounting, one quarter in arrears.
•Mona Lisa Re Ltd. (“Mona Lisa Re”), a Bermuda domiciled SPI, provides reinsurance capacity to subsidiaries of RenaissanceRe, namely Renaissance Reinsurance and DaVinci, through reinsurance agreements which are collateralized and funded by Mona Lisa Re through the issuance of one or more series of principal-at-risk variable rate notes. The Company concluded that Mona Lisa Re meets the definition of a VIE as it does not have sufficient equity capital to finance its activities. The Company evaluated its relationship with Mona Lisa Re and concluded it is not the primary beneficiary of Mona Lisa Re as it does not have power over the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of Mona Lisa Re. As a result, the financial position and results of operations of Mona Lisa Re are not consolidated by the Company.
•As a result of the acquisition of TMR, the Company manages Shima Reinsurance Ltd. (“Shima Re”), Norwood Re Ltd. (“Norwood Re”) and Blizzard Re Ltd. (together, the “TMR managed third-party capital vehicles”), which provide third-party investors with access to reinsurance risk. Following the closing of the acquisition, the retrocessionaires providing reinsurance to TMR on certain TMR managed third-party capital vehicles’ legacy portfolios of in-force and expired contracts were replaced. The TMR managed third-party capital vehicles no longer write new business.
NOTE 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
There have been no material changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies as described in its Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, except as described below.
BASIS OF PRESENTATION
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis of accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and in conformity with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete consolidated financial statements. In the opinion of management, these unaudited consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial position and results of operations as at the end of and for the periods presented. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated from these statements.
Certain comparative information has been reclassified to conform to the current presentation. Because of the seasonality of the Company’s business, the results of operations and cash flows for any interim period will not necessarily be indicative of the results of operations and cash flows for the full fiscal year or subsequent quarters.
USE OF ESTIMATES IN FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported and disclosed amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates. The major estimates reflected in the Company’s consolidated financial statements include, but are not limited to, the reserve for claims and claim expenses; reinsurance recoverables, including allowances for reinsurance recoverables deemed uncollectible; estimates of written and earned premiums; fair value, including the fair value of investments, financial instruments and derivatives; impairment charges; deferred acquisition costs and the value of business acquired and the Company’s deferred tax valuation allowance.
14

INVESTMENTS
Other Investments
The Company accounts for its other investments at fair value in accordance with FASB ASC Topic Financial Instruments with interest, dividend income, income distributions included in net investment income and realized and unrealized gains and losses included in net realized and unrealized gains (losses) on investments. The fair value of certain of the Company’s fund investments, which principally include private equity investments, senior secured bank loan funds and hedge funds, is recorded on its balance sheet in other investments, and is generally established on the basis of the net valuation criteria established by the managers of such investments, if applicable. The net valuation criteria established by the managers of such investments is established in accordance with the governing documents of such investments. Certain of the Company’s fund managers, fund administrators, or both, are unable to provide final fund valuations as of the Company’s current reporting date. The typical reporting lag experienced by the Company to receive a final net asset value report is one month for hedge funds and senior secured bank loan funds and three months for private equity investments, although, in the past, in respect of certain of the Company’s private equity investments, the Company has on occasion experienced delays of up to six months at year end, as the private equity investments typically complete their respective year-end audits before releasing their final net asset value statements.
In circumstances where there is a reporting lag between the current period end reporting date and the reporting date of the latest fund valuation, the Company estimates the fair value of these funds by starting with the most recently available prior month or quarter-end fund valuations, adjusting these valuations for actual capital calls, redemptions or distributions, as well as the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates, and then estimating the return for the current period. In circumstances in which the Company estimates the return for the current period, all information available to the Company is utilized. This principally includes preliminary estimates reported to the Company by its fund managers, obtaining the valuation of underlying portfolio investments where such underlying investments are publicly traded and therefore have a readily observable price, using information that is available to the Company with respect to the underlying investments, reviewing various indices for similar investments or asset classes, as well as estimating returns based on the results of similar types of investments for which the Company has obtained reported results, or other valuation methods, where possible. Actual final fund valuations may differ, perhaps materially so, from the Company’s estimates and these differences are recorded in the Company’s statement of operations in the period in which they are reported to the Company as a change in estimate.
The Company’s other investments also include investments in catastrophe bonds which are recorded at fair value and the fair value is based on broker or underwriter bid indications.
RECENTLY ADOPTED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (“ASU 2016-13”). ASU 2016-13 modifies the recognition of credit losses by replacing the incurred loss impairment methodology with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to inform credit loss estimates. ASU 2016-13 is applicable to financial assets such as loans, debt securities, trade receivables, off-balance sheet credit exposures, reinsurance receivables, and other financial assets that have the contractual right to receive cash. The measurement of expected credit losses is based on relevant information about past events, including historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the collectability of the reported amount. The Company's invested assets are measured at fair value through net income, and therefore those invested assets were not impacted by the adoption of ASU 2016-13. The Company has other financial assets, such as reinsurance recoverables, that were not materially impacted by the adoption of ASU 2016-13. ASU 2016-13 is effective for public business entities that are SEC filers for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2019, accordingly, the Company adopted ASU 2016-13 effective January 1, 2020. The adoption of ASU 2016-13 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated statements of operations and financial position.
15

Disclosure Framework - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13, Disclosure Framework - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement (“ASU 2018-13”). The ASU 2018-13 modifies the disclosure requirements of fair value measurements as part of the disclosure framework project with the objective to improve the effectiveness of disclosures in the notes to the financial statements. ASU 2018-13 allows for removal of the amount and reasons for transfer between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy; the policy for transfers between levels; and the valuation processes for Level 3 fair value measurements. ASU 2018-13 is effective for all entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019 and interim periods within those fiscal years, accordingly, the Company adopted ASU 2018-13 effective January 1, 2020. Since ASU 2018-13 is disclosure-related only, it did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated statements of operations and financial position.
Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment
In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04, Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment (“ASU 2017-04”). Among other things, ASU 2017-04 requires the following: (1) the elimination of step two of the goodwill impairment test; entities will no longer utilize the implied fair value of their assets and liabilities for purposes of testing goodwill for impairment, (2) the quantitative portion of the goodwill impairment test will be performed by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount; an impairment charge is to be recognized for the excess of carrying amount over fair value, but only to the extent of the amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit, and (3) foreign currency translation adjustments are not to be allocated to a reporting unit from an entity’s accumulated other comprehensive income (loss); the reporting unit’s carrying amount should include only the currently translated balances of the assets and liabilities assigned to the reporting unit. ASU 2017-04 is effective for public business entities that are SEC filers for annual periods, or any interim goodwill impairment tests in annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2019, accordingly, the Company adopted ASU 2017-04 effective January 1, 2020. The adoption of ASU 2017-04 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated statements of operations and financial position.
RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS NOT YET ADOPTED
Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes
In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12, Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (”ASU 2019-12”). Among other things, ASU 2019-12 eliminates certain exceptions for recognizing deferred taxes for investments, performing intraperiod tax allocation and calculating income taxes in interim periods. ASU 2019-12 also clarifies the accounting for transactions that result in a step-up in the tax basis of goodwill. ASU 2019-12 is effective for public business entities for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2020. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance; however, it is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated statements of operations and financial position.

NOTE 4. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
The use of fair value to measure certain assets and liabilities with resulting unrealized gains or losses is pervasive within the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Fair value is defined under accounting guidance currently applicable to the Company to be the price that would be received upon the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between open market participants at the measurement date. The Company recognizes the change in unrealized gains and losses arising from changes in fair value in its consolidated statements of operations.
FASB ASC Topic Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures prescribes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to the respective valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to valuation techniques that use at least one significant input that is unobservable (Level 3). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:
•Fair values determined by Level 1 inputs utilize unadjusted quoted prices obtained from active markets for identical assets or liabilities for which the Company has access. The fair value is determined by multiplying the quoted price by the quantity held by the Company;
•Fair values determined by Level 2 inputs utilize inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 2 inputs include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, such as interest rates and yield curves that are observable at commonly quoted intervals, broker quotes and certain pricing indices; and
•Level 3 inputs are based all or in part on significant unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, and include situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability. In these cases, significant management assumptions can be used to establish management’s best estimate of the assumptions used by other market participants in determining the fair value of the asset or liability.
In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement in its entirety falls has been determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement of the asset or liability. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment, and the Company considers factors specific to the asset or liability.
In order to determine if a market is active or inactive for a security, the Company considers a number of factors, including, but not limited to, the spread between what a seller is asking for a security and what a buyer is bidding for the same security, the volume of trading activity for the security in question, the price of the security compared to its par value (for fixed maturity investments), and other factors that may be indicative of market activity.
There have been no material changes in the Company’s valuation techniques, nor have there been any transfers between Level 1 and Level 2, or Level 2 and Level 3 during the period represented by these consolidated financial statements.

Level 1 and Level 2 Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value
Fixed Maturity Investments
Fixed maturity investments included in Level 1 consist of the Company’s investments in U.S. treasuries. Fixed maturity investments included in Level 2 are agencies, municipal, non-U.S. government, non-U.S. government-backed corporate, corporate, agency mortgage-backed, non-agency mortgage-backed, commercial mortgage-backed and asset-backed.
The Company’s fixed maturity investments are primarily priced using pricing services, such as index providers and pricing vendors, as well as broker quotations. In general, the pricing vendors provide pricing for a high volume of liquid securities that are actively traded. For securities that do not trade on an exchange, the pricing services generally utilize market data and other observable inputs in matrix pricing models to determine month end prices. Observable inputs include benchmark yields, reported trades,
21

broker-dealer quotes, issuer spreads, bids, offers, reference data and industry and economic events. Index pricing generally relies on market traders as the primary source for pricing; however, models are also utilized to provide prices for all index eligible securities. The models use a variety of observable inputs such as benchmark yields, transactional data, dealer runs, broker-dealer quotes and corporate actions. Prices are generally verified using third-party data. Securities which are priced by an index provider are generally included in the index.
In general, broker-dealers value securities through their trading desks based on observable inputs. The methodologies include mapping securities based on trade data, bids or offers, observed spreads, and performance on newly issued securities. Broker-dealers also determine valuations by observing secondary trading of similar securities. Prices obtained from broker quotations are considered non-binding, however they are based on observable inputs and by observing secondary trading of similar securities obtained from active, non-distressed markets.
The Company considers these broker quotations to be Level 2 inputs as they are corroborated with other market observable inputs. The techniques generally used to determine the fair value of the Company’s fixed maturity investments are detailed below by asset class.
U.S. Treasuries
Level 1 - At September 30, 2020, the Company’s U.S. treasuries fixed maturity investments were primarily priced by pricing services and had a weighted average yield to maturity of 0.3% and a weighted average credit quality of AA (December 31, 2019 - 1.7% and AA, respectively). When pricing these securities, the pricing services utilize daily data from many real time market sources, including active broker-dealers. Certain data sources are regularly reviewed for accuracy to attempt to ensure the most reliable price source is used for each issue and maturity date.
Agencies
Level 2 - At September 30, 2020, the Company’s agency fixed maturity investments had a weighted average yield to maturity of 0.8% and a weighted average credit quality of AA (December 31, 2019 - 2.1% and AA, respectively). The issuers of the Company’s agency fixed maturity investments primarily consist of the Federal National Mortgage Association, the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation and other agencies. Fixed maturity investments included in agencies are primarily priced by pricing services. When evaluating these securities, the pricing services gather information from market sources and integrate other observations from markets and sector news. Evaluations are updated by obtaining broker-dealer quotes and other market information including actual trade volumes, when available. The fair value of each security is individually computed using analytical models which incorporate option adjusted spreads and other daily interest rate data.
Non-U.S. Government
Level 2 - At September 30, 2020, the Company’s non-U.S. government fixed maturity investments had a weighted average yield to maturity of 0.7% and a weighted average credit quality of AAA (December 31, 2019 - 1.6% and AA, respectively). The issuers of securities in this sector are non-U.S. governments and their respective agencies as well as supranational organizations. Securities held in these sectors are primarily priced by pricing services that employ proprietary discounted cash flow models to value the securities. Key quantitative inputs for these models are daily observed benchmark curves for treasury, swap and high issuance credits. The pricing services then apply a credit spread for each security which is developed by in-depth and real time market analysis. For securities in which trade volume is low, the pricing services utilize data from more frequently traded securities with similar attributes. These models may also be supplemented by daily market and credit research for international markets.
Non-U.S. Government-backed Corporate
Level 2 - At September 30, 2020, the Company’s non-U.S. government-backed corporate fixed maturity investments had a weighted average yield to maturity of 0.9% and a weighted average credit quality of AA (December 31, 2019 - 2.0% and AA, respectively). Non-U.S. government-backed corporate fixed maturity investments are primarily priced by pricing services that employ proprietary discounted cash flow models to value the securities. Key quantitative inputs for these models are daily observed benchmark curves for
22

treasury, swap and high quality credits. The pricing services then apply a credit spread to the respective curve for each security which is developed by in-depth and real time market analysis. For securities in which trade volume is low, the pricing services utilize data from more frequently traded securities with similar attributes. These models may also be supplemented by daily market and credit research for international markets.
Corporate
Level 2 - At September 30, 2020, the Company’s corporate fixed maturity investments principally consisted of U.S. and international corporations and had a weighted average yield to maturity of 2.4% and a weighted average credit quality of BBB (December 31, 2019 - 3.0% and BBB, respectively). The Company’s corporate fixed maturity investments are primarily priced by pricing services. When evaluating these securities, the pricing services gather information from market sources regarding the issuer of the security and obtain credit data, as well as other observations, from markets and sector news. Evaluations are updated by obtaining broker-dealer quotes and other market information including actual trade volumes, when available. The pricing services also consider the specific terms and conditions of the securities, including any specific features which may influence risk. In certain instances, securities are individually evaluated using a spread which is added to the U.S. treasury curve or a security specific swap curve as appropriate.
Agency Mortgage-backed
Level 2 - At September 30, 2020, the Company’s agency mortgage-backed fixed maturity investments included agency residential mortgage-backed securities with a weighted average yield to maturity of 1.0%, a weighted average credit quality of AA and a weighted average life of 3.7 years (December 31, 2019 - 2.5%, AA and 4.9 years, respectively). The Company’s agency mortgage-backed fixed maturity investments are primarily priced by pricing services using a mortgage pool specific model which utilizes daily inputs from the active to-be-announced market which is very liquid, as well as the U.S. treasury market. The model also utilizes additional information, such as the weighted average maturity, weighted average coupon and other available pool level data which is provided by the sponsoring agency. Valuations are also corroborated with daily active market quotes.
Non-agency Mortgage-backed
Level 2 - The Company’s non-agency mortgage-backed fixed maturity investments include non-agency prime, non-agency Alt-A and other non-agency residential mortgage-backed securities. At September 30, 2020, the Company’s non-agency prime residential mortgage-backed fixed maturity investments had a weighted average yield to maturity of 2.3%, a weighted average credit quality of BBB and a weighted average life of 4.1 years (December 31, 2019 - 3.3%, BBB and 4.8 years, respectively). The Company’s non-agency Alt-A residential mortgage-backed fixed maturity investments held at September 30, 2020 had a weighted average yield to maturity of 3.5%, a weighted average credit quality of non-investment grade and a weighted average life of 5.7 years (December 31, 2019 - 3.8%, non-investment grade and 6.3 years, respectively). Securities held in these sectors are primarily priced by pricing services using an option adjusted spread model or other relevant models, which principally utilize inputs including benchmark yields, available trade information or broker quotes, and issuer spreads. The pricing services also review collateral prepayment speeds, loss severity and delinquencies among other collateral performance indicators for the securities valuation, when applicable.
Commercial Mortgage-backed
Level 2 - At September 30, 2020, the Company’s commercial mortgage-backed fixed maturity investments had a weighted average yield to maturity of 1.6%, a weighted average credit quality of AAA, and a weighted average life of 5.2 years (December 31, 2019 - 2.6%, AAA and 5.7 years, respectively). Securities held in these sectors are primarily priced by pricing services. The pricing services apply dealer quotes and other available trade information such as bids and offers, prepayment speeds which may be adjusted for the underlying collateral or current price data, the U.S. treasury curve and swap curve as well as cash settlement. The pricing services discount the expected cash flows for each security held in this sector using a spread adjusted benchmark yield based on the characteristics of the security.
23

Asset-backed
Level 2 - At September 30, 2020, the Company’s asset-backed fixed maturity investments had a weighted average yield to maturity of 2.0%, a weighted average credit quality of AAA and a weighted average life of 3.5 years (December 31, 2019 - 3.3%, AAA and 3.2 years, respectively). The underlying collateral for the Company’s asset-backed fixed maturity investments primarily consists of bank loans, student loans, credit card receivables, auto loans and other receivables. Securities held in these sectors are primarily priced by pricing services. The pricing services apply dealer quotes and other available trade information such as bids and offers, prepayment speeds which may be adjusted for the underlying collateral or current price data, the U.S. treasury curve and swap curve as well as cash settlement. The pricing services determine the expected cash flows for each security held in this sector using historical prepayment and default projections for the underlying collateral and current market data. In addition, a spread is applied to the relevant benchmark and used to discount the cash flows noted above to determine the fair value of the securities held in this sector.
Short Term Investments
Level 2 - At September 30, 2020, the Company’s short term investments had a weighted average yield to maturity of 0.1% and a weighted average credit quality of AAA (December 31, 2019 - 1.6% and AAA, respectively). The fair value of the Company’s portfolio of short term investments is generally determined using amortized cost which approximates fair value and, in certain cases, in a manner similar to the Company’s fixed maturity investments noted above.
Equity Investments, Classified as Trading
Level 1 - The fair value of the Company’s portfolio of equity investments, classified as trading is primarily priced by pricing services, reflecting the closing price quoted for the final trading day of the period. When pricing these securities, the pricing services utilize daily data from many real time market sources, including applicable securities exchanges. All data sources are regularly reviewed for accuracy to attempt to ensure the most reliable price source was used for each security.
Other Investments
Catastrophe Bonds
Level 2 - The Company’s other investments include investments in catastrophe bonds which are recorded at fair value based on broker or underwriter bid indications.
Other Assets and Liabilities
Derivatives
Level 1 and Level 2 - Other assets and liabilities include certain derivatives entered into by the Company. The fair value of these transactions includes certain exchange traded futures contracts which are considered Level 1, and foreign currency contracts and certain credit derivatives, determined using standard industry valuation models and considered Level 2, as the inputs to the valuation model are based on observable market inputs. For credit derivatives, these inputs include credit spreads, credit ratings of the underlying referenced security, the risk free rate and the contract term. For foreign currency contracts, these inputs include spot rates and interest rate curves.

Acquisition of Tokio Millennium Re” in the Company’s “Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements” included in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 for additional information related to the acquisition of TMR.
Other Investments
Private Equity Investments
Level 3 - At September 30, 2020, the Company’s other investments included $75.0 million of private equity investments which are recorded at fair value, with the fair value obtained through the use of internal valuation models. The Company measured the fair value of these investments using multiples of net tangible book value of the underlying entity. The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of these investments are liquidity discount rates applied to each of the net tangible book value multiples used in the internal valuation models, and discount rates applied to the expected cash flows of the underlying entity in various scenarios. These unobservable inputs in isolation can cause significant increases or decreases in fair value. Generally, an increase in the liquidity discount rate or discount rates would result in a decrease in the fair value of these private equity investments.
Other Assets and Liabilities
Assumed and Ceded (Re)insurance Contracts
Level 3 - At September 30, 2020, the Company had a $0.9 million net liability related to an assumed reinsurance contract accounted for at fair value, with the fair value obtained through the use of an internal valuation model. The inputs to the internal valuation model are principally based on indicative pricing obtained from independent brokers and pricing vendors for similarly structured marketable securities. The most significant unobservable inputs include prices for similar marketable securities and a liquidity premium. The Company considers the prices for similar securities to be unobservable, as there is little, if any market activity for these similar assets. In addition, the Company has estimated a liquidity premium that would be required if the Company attempted to effectively exit its position by executing a short sale of these securities. Generally, an increase in the prices for similar marketable securities or a decrease in the liquidity
27

premium would result in an increase in the expected profit and ultimate fair value of this assumed reinsurance contract.
Level 3 - At September 30, 2020, the Company had a $7.8 million net liability related to assumed and ceded (re)insurance contracts accounted for at fair value, with the fair value obtained through the use of an internal valuation model. The inputs to the internal valuation model are principally based on proprietary data as observable market inputs are generally not available. The most significant unobservable inputs include the assumed and ceded expected net cash flows related to the contracts, including the expected premium, acquisition expenses and losses; the expected loss ratio and the relevant discount rate used to present value the net cash flows. The contract period and acquisition expense ratio are considered an observable input as each is defined in the contract. Generally, an increase in the net expected cash flows and expected term of the contract and a decrease in the discount rate, expected loss ratio or acquisition expense ratio, would result in an increase in the expected profit and ultimate fair value of these assumed and ceded (re)insurance contracts.
Level 3 - At September 30, 2020, the Company had a $2.2 million net asset related to assumed and ceded (re)insurance contracts accounted for at fair value, with the fair value obtained through the use of internal valuation models. The inputs to the models are primarily based on the unexpired period of risk and an evaluation of the probability of loss. The fair value of the contracts are sensitive to loss-triggering events. In the event of a loss, the Company would adjust the fair value of the contract to account for a recovery or liability in accordance with the contract terms and the estimate of exposure under the contract. The inputs for the contracts are based on management’s evaluation and are unobservable.
Financial Instruments Disclosed, But Not Carried, at Fair Value
The Company uses various financial instruments in the normal course of its business. The Company’s insurance contracts are excluded from the fair value of financial instruments accounting guidance, unless the Company elects the fair value option, and therefore, are not included in the amounts discussed herein. The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, accrued investment income, receivables for investments sold, certain other assets, payables for investments purchased, certain other liabilities, and other financial instruments not included herein approximated their fair values.
Debt
Included on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet at September 30, 2020 were debt obligations of $1.1 billion (December 31, 2019 - $1.4 billion). At September 30, 2020, the fair value of the Company’s debt obligations was $1.3 billion (December 31, 2019 – $1.5 billion).
The fair value of the Company’s debt obligations is determined using indicative market pricing obtained from third-party service providers, which the Company considers Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. There have been no changes during the period in the Company’s valuation technique used to determine the fair value of the Company’s debt obligations. Refer to “Note 7. Debt and Credit Facilities” for additional information related to the Company’s debt obligations.
The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities
The Company has elected to account for certain financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value using the guidance under FASB ASC Topic Financial Instruments as the Company believes it represents the most meaningful measurement basis for these assets and liabilities. Below is a summary of the balances the Company has elected to account for at fair value:

|  | September 30, 2020 |  | December 31, 2019 |
| Other investments | $ | 1,122,683 |  |  | $ | 1,087,377 |  |
| Other assets | $ | 11,508 |  |  | $ | 32,944 |  |
| Other liabilities | $ | 18,116 |  |  | $ | 28,213 |  |

Included in net realized and unrealized gains on investments for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 were net unrealized gains of $26.4 million and losses of $18.1 million, respectively,
28

related to the changes in fair value of other investments (2019 – net unrealized gains of $5.1 million and $7.3 million, respectively). Included in other (loss) income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 were net unrealized gains of $Nil and $Nil related to the changes in the fair value of other assets and liabilities (2019 - $Nil and $Nil, respectively).
Measuring the Fair Value of Other Investments Using Net Asset Valuations
The table below shows the Company’s portfolio of other investments measured using net asset valuations as a practical expedient:

| At September 30, 2020 | Fair Value |  | Unfunded Commitments |  | Redemption Frequency |  | Redemption Notice Period (Minimum Days) |  | Redemption Notice Period (Maximum Days) |
| Private equity investments | $ | 199,851 |  |  | $ | 686,588 |  |  | See below |  | See below |  | See below |
| Senior secured bank loan funds | 20,933 |  |  | 8,185 |  |  | See below |  | See below |  | See below |
| Hedge funds | 9,969 |  |  | — |  |  | See below |  | See below |  | See below |
| Total other investments measured using net asset valuations | $ | 230,753 |  |  | $ | 694,773 |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |

Private Equity Investments
A significant portion of the Company’s investments in private equity investments include alternative asset limited partnerships (or similar corporate structures) that invest in certain private equity asset classes including U.S. and global leveraged buyouts, mezzanine investments, distressed securities, real estate, and oil, gas and power. The Company generally has no right to redeem its interest in any of these private equity investments in advance of dissolution of the applicable private equity investment. Instead, the nature of these investments is that distributions are received by the Company in connection with the liquidation of the underlying assets of the respective private equity investment. It is estimated that the majority of the underlying assets of the limited partnerships would liquidate over 7 to 10 years from inception of the respective limited partnership.
Senior Secured Bank Loan Funds
At September 30, 2020, the Company had $20.9 million invested in closed end funds which invest primarily in loans. The Company has no right to redeem its investment in these funds. It is estimated that the majority of the underlying assets in these closed end funds would begin to liquidate over 4 to 5 years from inception of the applicable fund.
Hedge Funds
At September 30, 2020, the Company had $10.0 million of investments in hedge funds that are primarily focused on global credit opportunities which are generally redeemable at the option of the shareholder.
NOTE 5. REINSURANCE
The Company purchases reinsurance and other protection to manage its risk portfolio and to reduce its exposure to large losses. The Company currently has in place contracts that provide for recovery of a portion of certain claims and claim expenses, generally in excess of various retentions or on a proportional basis. In addition to loss recoveries, certain of the Company’s ceded reinsurance contracts provide for payments of additional premiums, for reinstatement premiums and for lost no-claims bonuses, which are incurred when losses are ceded to the respective reinsurance contracts. The Company remains liable to the extent that any reinsurer fails to meet its obligations.
The following table sets forth the effect of reinsurance and retrocessional activity on premiums written and earned and on net claims and claim expenses incurred:

| Claims and claim expenses |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |
| Gross claims and claim expenses incurred | $ | 1,192,132 |  |  | $ | 714,714 |  |  | $ | 2,587,073 |  |  | $ | 1,804,889 |  |
| Claims and claim expenses recovered | (250,102) |  |  | (60,194) |  |  | (563,817) |  |  | (469,961) |  |
| Net claims and claim expenses incurred | $ | 942,030 |  |  | $ | 654,520 |  |  | $ | 2,023,256 |  |  | $ | 1,334,928 |  |

The Company adopted ASU 2016-13 effective January 1, 2020. In assessing an allowance for reinsurance assets, which includes reinsurance balances receivable and reinsurance recoverables, the Company considers historical information, financial strength of reinsurers, collateralization amounts, and ratings to determine the appropriateness of the allowance. In assessing future default for reinsurance assets, the Company evaluates the valuation allowance under the probability of default and loss given default method. The Company utilizes its internal capital and risk models which uses counterparty ratings from major rating agencies, as well as assessing the current market conditions for the likelihood of default. Historically, the Company has not experienced material credit losses from reinsurance assets. The adoption of ASU 2016-13 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated statements of operations and financial position.
At September 30, 2020, the Company’s reinsurance recoverable balance was $2.9 billion (December 31, 2019 - $2.8 billion). Of the Company’s reinsurance recoverable balance at September 30, 2020, 49.5% is fully collateralized by our reinsurers, 49.3% is recoverable from reinsurers rated A- or higher by major rating agencies and 1.2% is recoverable from reinsurers rated lower than A- by major rating agencies (December 31, 2019 - 57.5%, 41.0% and 1.5%, respectively). The reinsurers with the three largest balances accounted for 15.8%, 9.8% and 6.9%, respectively, of the Company’s reinsurance recoverable balance at September 30, 2020 (December 31, 2019 - 12.7%, 7.2% and 7.0%, respectively). The valuation allowance recorded against reinsurance recoverable was $10.2 million at September 30, 2020 (December 31, 2019 - $7.3 million). The three largest company-specific components of the valuation allowance represented 16.0%, 7.4% and 5.7%, respectively, of the Company’s total valuation allowance at September 30, 2020 (December 31, 2019 - 18.1%, 7.9% and 7.2%, respectively).
NOTE 6. RESERVE FOR CLAIMS AND CLAIM EXPENSES
The Company believes the most significant accounting judgment made by management is its estimate of claims and claim expense reserves. Claims and claim expense reserves represent estimates, including actuarial and statistical projections at a given point in time, of the ultimate settlement and administration costs for unpaid claims and claim expenses arising from the insurance and reinsurance contracts the Company sells. The Company establishes its claims and claim expense reserves by taking claims reported to the Company by insureds and ceding companies, but which have not yet been paid (“case reserves”), adding estimates for the anticipated cost of claims incurred but not yet reported to the Company, or incurred but not enough reported to the Company (collectively referred to as “IBNR”) and, if deemed necessary, adding costs for additional case reserves which represent the Company’s estimates for claims related to
30

specific contracts previously reported to the Company which it believes may not be adequately estimated by the client as of that date, or adequately covered in the application of IBNR.
The following table summarizes the Company’s claims and claim expense reserves by segment, allocated between case reserves, additional case reserves and IBNR:

| At September 30, 2020 | Case Reserves |  | Additional Case Reserves |  | IBNR |  | Total |
| Property | $ | 1,037,526 |  |  | $ | 1,752,260 |  |  | $ | 1,238,478 |  |  | $ | 4,028,264 |  |

Prior Year Development of the Reserve for Net Claims and Claim Expenses
The Company’s estimates of claims and claim expense reserves are not precise in that, among other things, they are based on predictions of future developments and estimates of future trends and other variable factors. Some, but not all, of the Company’s reserves are further subject to the uncertainty inherent in actuarial methodologies and estimates. Because a reserve estimate is simply an insurer’s estimate at a point in time of its ultimate liability, and because there are numerous factors that affect reserves and claims payments that cannot be determined with certainty in advance, the Company’s ultimate payments will vary, perhaps materially, from its estimates of reserves. If the Company determines in a subsequent period that adjustments to its previously established reserves are appropriate, such adjustments are recorded in the period in which they are identified. On a net basis, the Company’s cumulative favorable or unfavorable development is generally reduced by offsetting changes in its reinsurance recoverables, as well as changes to loss related premiums such as reinstatement premiums and redeemable noncontrolling interest, all of which generally move in the opposite direction to changes in the Company’s ultimate claims and claim expenses.
The following table details the Company’s prior year development by segment of its liability for unpaid claims and claim expenses:

| Nine months ended September 30, | 2020 |  | 2019 |
|  | (Favorable) adverse development |  | (Favorable) adverse development |
| Property | $ | (31,425) |  |  | $ | 5,020 |  |
| Casualty and Specialty | (23,827) |  |  | (19,718) |  |
| Other | (131) |  |  | 178 |  |
| Total net favorable development of prior accident years net claims and claim expenses | $ | (55,383) |  |  | $ | (14,520) |  |

Changes to prior year estimated claims reserves increased net income by $55.4 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 (2019 - increased net income by $14.5 million), excluding the consideration of changes in reinstatement, adjustment or other premium items, profit commissions, redeemable noncontrolling interests and income tax.

| Actuarial assumption changes | 5,445 |  |
| Total net favorable development of prior accident years net claims and claim expenses | $ | (31,425) |  |

The net favorable development of prior accident years net claims and claim expenses within the Company’s Property segment in the nine months ended September 30, 2020 of $31.4 million was primarily comprised of net favorable development on prior accident years net claims and claim expenses associated with the following large catastrophe events:
•$13.4 million associated with Hurricane Dorian and Typhoon Faxai, Typhoon Hagibis and losses associated with aggregate loss contracts (collectively, the “2019 Large Loss Events”);
•$12.3 million associated with Typhoons Jebi, Mangkhut and Trami, Hurricane Florence, the wildfires in California during the third and fourth quarters of 2018, Hurricane Michael and certain losses associated with aggregate loss contracts (collectively, the ”2018 Large Loss Events”); and
•$9.1 million associated with Hurricanes Harvey, Irma and Maria, the Mexico City Earthquake, the wildfires in California during the fourth quarter of 2017 and certain losses associated with aggregate loss contracts (collectively, the “2017 Large Loss Events”).
Partially offsetting this net favorable development was net adverse development of $5.4 million related to actuarial assumption changes.

| Actuarial assumption changes | 9,245 |  |
| Total net adverse development of prior accident years net claims and claim expenses | $ | 5,020 |  |

The net adverse development of prior accident years net claims and claim expenses within the Company’s Property segment in the nine months ended September 30, 2019 of $5.0 million was comprised of net favorable development of $5.4 million related to large catastrophe events, net adverse development of $1.2 million related to small catastrophe events and attritional loss movements and net adverse development of $9.2 million related to actuarial assumption changes. Included in net favorable development of prior accident years net claims and claim expenses from large catastrophe events within the Property segment was $90.8 million of net decreases in the estimated ultimate losses associated with the 2017 Large Loss Events, partially offset by $61.6 million of net increases in the estimated ultimate losses associated with the 2018 Large Loss Events.
Casualty and Specialty Segment
The following table details the development of the Company’s liability for unpaid claims and claim expenses for its Casualty and Specialty segment:

| Nine months ended September 30, | 2020 |  | 2019 |

| Total net favorable development of prior accident years net claims and claim expenses | $ | (23,827) |  |  | $ | (19,718) |  |

The net favorable development of prior accident years net claims and claim expenses within the Company’s Casualty and Specialty segment of $23.8 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2020 was due to reported losses generally coming in lower than expected on attritional net claims and claim expenses across a number of lines of business, partially offset by net adverse development of $4.1 million associated with certain actuarial assumption changes.
The net favorable development of prior accident years net claims and claim expenses within the Company’s Casualty and Specialty segment of $19.7 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2019 was comprised of net favorable development of $54.5 million related to reported losses generally coming in lower than expected on attritional net claims and claim expenses across a number of lines of business, partially offset by net adverse development of $34.8 million associated with certain actuarial assumption changes.

36

requirements. If total shareholder requests exceed 25% of DaVinciRe’s capital, the number of shares repurchased will be reduced among the requesting shareholders pro-rata, based on the amounts desired to be repurchased. Shareholders desiring to have DaVinci repurchase their shares must notify DaVinciRe before March 1 of each year. The repurchase price will be based on GAAP book value as of the end of the year in which the shareholder notice is given, and the repurchase will be effective as of January 1 of the following year. The repurchase price is generally subject to a true-up for potential development on outstanding loss reserves after settlement of all claims relating to the applicable years.

NOTE 9. VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES
Upsilon RFO
Upsilon RFO is a managed joint venture and a Bermuda domiciled SPI that was formed by the Company principally to provide additional capacity to the worldwide aggregate and per-occurrence retrocessional property catastrophe excess of loss market.
The shareholders (other than the Class A shareholder) participate in substantially all of the profits or losses of Upsilon RFO while their shares remain outstanding. The shareholders (other than the Class A shareholder) indemnify Upsilon RFO against losses relating to insurance risk, and therefore, these shares have been accounted for as prospective reinsurance under FASB ASC Topic Financial Services - Insurance.
Upsilon RFO is considered a VIE as it has insufficient equity capital to finance its activities without additional financial support. The Company is the primary beneficiary of Upsilon RFO as it has the power over the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of Upsilon RFO and has the obligation to absorb expected losses and the right to receive expected benefits that could be significant to Upsilon RFO, in accordance with the accounting guidance. As a result, the Company consolidates Upsilon RFO and all significant inter-company transactions have been eliminated. Other than its equity investment in Upsilon RFO, the Company has not provided financial or other support to Upsilon RFO that it was not contractually required to provide.
2020
During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, $802.0 million of Upsilon RFO non-voting preference shares were issued to existing investors, including $95.4 million to the Company. Also during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and following the release of collateral that was previously held by cedants associated with prior years’ contracts, Upsilon RFO returned $302.0 million of capital to its investors, including $61.6 million to the Company. At September 30, 2020, the Company’s participation in the risks assumed by Upsilon RFO was 13.9%.
At September 30, 2020, the Company’s consolidated balance sheet included total assets and total liabilities of Upsilon RFO of $3.5 billion and $3.5 billion, respectively (December 31, 2019 - $3.1 billion and $3.1 billion, respectively). Of the total assets and liabilities, a net amount of $291.0 million is attributable to the Company, and $1.8 billion is attributable to third-party investors.
2019
During 2019, $618.7 million of Upsilon RFO non-voting preference shares were issued to new and existing investors, including $100.0 million to the Company. In addition, Upsilon RFO returned $279.2 million of capital to its investors, including $31.0 million to the Company. At December 31, 2019, the Company’s participation in the risks assumed by Upsilon RFO was 16.5%.
Payments for certain of the shares issued during 2020 and 2019 that were received by the Company prior to January 1, 2020 and January 1, 2019, respectively, were included in other liabilities on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively, and in other operating cash flows on the Company’s consolidated statements of cash flows for 2019 and 2018, respectively. During 2020 and 2019, in connection with the issuance of the non-voting preference shares of Upsilon RFO, other liabilities were reduced by this amount, and reinsurance balances payable were increased by an offsetting amount, with corresponding impacts to other operating cash flows and the change in reinsurance balances payable on the Company consolidated statements of cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and the year ended December 31, 2019, respectively.
Vermeer
Vermeer is an exempted Bermuda reinsurer that provides capacity focused on risk remote layers in the U.S. property catastrophe market. Vermeer is considered a VIE as it has voting rights that are not proportional to its participating rights. The Company is the primary beneficiary of Vermeer as it has power over the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of Vermeer and has the obligation to absorb expected losses and the right to receive expected benefits that could be significant to Vermeer, in accordance with the accounting guidance. The portion of Vermeer’s earnings owned by PGGM is recorded
39

in the consolidated statements of operations as net income attributable to redeemable noncontrolling interests. See “Note 8. Noncontrolling Interests” for additional information regarding Vermeer. Other than the Company’s minimal equity investment, it has not provided any financial or other support to Vermeer that it was not contractually required to provide.
At September 30, 2020, the Company’s consolidated balance sheet included total assets and total liabilities of Vermeer of $1.3 billion and $250.1 million, respectively (December 31, 2019 - $1.0 billion and $23.2 million, respectively). In addition, the Company’s consolidated balance sheet included redeemable noncontrolling interests associated with Vermeer of $1.1 billion at September 30, 2020 (December 31, 2019 - $1.0 billion).
Mona Lisa Re
Mona Lisa Re is licensed as a Bermuda domiciled SPI to provide reinsurance capacity to subsidiaries of RenaissanceRe, namely Renaissance Reinsurance and DaVinci, through reinsurance agreements which are collateralized and funded by Mona Lisa Re through the issuance of one or more series of principal-at-risk variable rate notes.
Upon issuance of a series of notes by Mona Lisa Re, all of the proceeds from the issuance are deposited into collateral accounts, separated by series, to fund any potential obligation under the reinsurance agreements entered into with Renaissance Reinsurance and/or DaVinci underlying such series of notes. The outstanding principal amount of each series of notes generally will be returned to holders of such notes upon the expiration of the risk period underlying such notes, unless an event occurs which causes a loss under the applicable series of notes, in which case the amount returned will be reduced by such noteholder’s pro rata share of such loss, as specified in the applicable governing documents of such notes. In addition, holders of such notes are generally entitled to interest payments, payable quarterly, as determined by the applicable governing documents of each series of notes.
The Company concluded that Mona Lisa Re meets the definition of a VIE as it does not have sufficient equity capital to finance its activities. The Company evaluated its relationship with Mona Lisa Re and concluded it is not the primary beneficiary of Mona Lisa Re as it does not have power over the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of Mona Lisa Re. As a result, the financial position and results of operations of Mona Lisa Re are not consolidated by the Company.
On July 6, 2018, all previously outstanding series of notes issued by Mona Lisa Re were redeemed and the proceeds were returned to the holders of such notes.

Fibonacci Re
Fibonacci Re, a Bermuda-domiciled SPI, was formed to provide collateralized capacity to Renaissance Reinsurance and its affiliates. Upon issuance of a series of notes by Fibonacci Re, all of the proceeds from the issuance are deposited into collateral accounts, separated by series, to fund any potential obligation under the reinsurance agreements entered into with Renaissance Reinsurance underlying such series of notes. The outstanding principal amount of each series of notes generally is expected to be returned to holders of such notes upon the expiration of the risk period underlying such notes, unless an event occurs which causes a loss under the applicable series of notes, in which case the amount returned is expected to be reduced by such noteholder’s pro rata share of such loss, as specified in the applicable governing documents of such notes. In addition, holders of such notes are generally entitled to interest payments, payable quarterly, as determined by the applicable governing documents of each series of notes. RUM receives an origination and structuring fee in connection with the formation and operation of Fibonacci Re.
The Company concluded that Fibonacci Re meets the definition of a VIE as it does not have sufficient equity capital to finance its activities. The Company evaluated its relationship with Fibonacci Re and concluded it is not the primary beneficiary of Fibonacci Re as it does not have power over the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of Fibonacci Re. As a result, the Company does not consolidate the financial position or results of operations of Fibonacci Re.
The only transactions related to Fibonacci Re that are recorded in the Company’s consolidated financial statements are the ceded reinsurance agreements entered into by Renaissance Reinsurance that are accounted for as prospective reinsurance under FASB ASC Topic Financial Services - Insurance, and the fair value of the participating notes owned by the Company. Other than its investment in the participating notes of Fibonacci Re, the Company has not provided financial or other support to Fibonacci Re that it was not contractually required to provide.
The fair value of the Company’s investment in the participating notes of Fibonacci Re is included in other investments. Net of third-party investors, the fair value of the Company’s investment in Fibonacci Re was $1.0 million at September 30, 2020 (December 31, 2019 - $0.4 million).
Renaissance Reinsurance entered into ceded reinsurance contracts with Fibonacci Re with ceded premiums written of $11 thousand and ceded premiums earned of $11 thousand during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 (2019 - $0.1 million and $0.1 million, respectively). During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, Renaissance Reinsurance reduced its net claims and claim expenses ceded to Fibonacci Re by $7.5 million (2019 - ceded net claims and claim expenses of $7.5 million) and as of September 30, 2020 had a net reinsurance recoverable of $Nil from Fibonacci Re (December 31, 2019 - $7.5 million).
Langhorne
The Company and Reinsurance Group of America, Incorporated formed Langhorne, an initiative to source third-party capital to support reinsurers targeting large in-force life and annuity blocks. In connection with Langhorne, as of September 30, 2020 the Company has invested $2.0 million in Langhorne Holdings (December 31, 2019 - $1.7 million), a company that owns and manages certain reinsurance entities within Langhorne. In addition, as of September 30, 2020 the Company has invested $0.1 million in Langhorne Partners (December 31, 2019 - $0.1 million), the general partner for Langhorne and the entity which manages the third-party investors investing into Langhorne Holdings.
The Company concluded that Langhorne Holdings meets the definition of a VIE as the voting rights are not proportional with the obligations to absorb losses and rights to receive residual returns. The Company evaluated its relationship with Langhorne Holdings and concluded it is not the primary beneficiary of Langhorne Holdings, as it does not have power over the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of Langhorne Holdings. As a result, the Company does not consolidate the financial position or results of operations of Langhorne Holdings. The Company separately evaluated Langhorne Partners and concluded that it was not a VIE. The Company accounts for its investments in Langhorne Holdings and Langhorne Partners under the equity method of accounting, one quarter in arrears.
The Company anticipates that its absolute investment in Langhorne will increase, perhaps materially, as in-force life and annuity blocks of businesses are written. The Company expects its absolute and relative ownership in Langhorne Partners to remain stable. Other than its current and committed future equity

investment in Langhorne, the Company has not provided financial or other support to Langhorne that it was not contractually required to provide.
Shima Re
Shima Re was acquired on March 22, 2019 in connection with the acquisition of TMR. Shima Re is a Bermuda domiciled Class 3 insurer. Shima Re is registered as a segregated accounts company and provides third-party investors with access to reinsurance risk. The maximum remaining exposure of each segregated account is fully collateralized and is funded by cash or investments as prescribed by the participant thereto. Shima Re no longer writes new business and the last in-force contract written by Shima Re expired on December 31, 2019.
Shima Re is considered a VIE as it has voting rights that are not proportional to its participating rights. The Company evaluated its relationship with Shima Re and concluded it is not the primary beneficiary of any segregated account, as it does not have power over the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of any segregated account. As a result, the Company does not consolidate the financial position or results of operations of Shima Re or its segregated accounts. The Company has not provided any financial or other support to any segregated account of Shima Re that it was not contractually required to provide.

The obligations of each segregated account are funded through the issuance of non-voting preference shares to third-party investors. The maximum exposure of each segregated account is fully collateralized and is funded by cash and term deposits or investments as prescribed by the participant thereto. Norwood Re no longer writes new business, and the last in-force contract written by Norwood expired on June 30, 2020.
Norwood Re is considered a VIE as it has voting rights that are not proportional to its participating rights. The Company evaluated its relationship with Norwood Re and concluded it is not the primary beneficiary of Norwood Re and its segregated accounts, as it does not have power over the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of Norwood Re and its segregated accounts.

The Board of Directors approved the payment of quarterly dividends on the Series C 6.08% Preference Shares, Series E 5.375% Preference Shares and 5.750% Series F Preference Shares to preference shareholders of record in the amounts and on the quarterly record dates and dividend payment dates set forth in the prospectus supplement and Certificate of Designation for the applicable series of preference shares, unless and until further action is taken by the Board of Directors.

The record dates for the preference share dividends are one day prior to the dividend payment dates. The amount of the dividend on the Series C 6.08% Preference Shares is an amount per share equal to 6.08% of the liquidation preference per annum (the equivalent to $1.52 per share per annum, or $0.38 per share per quarter). The amount of the dividend on the Series E 5.375% Preference Shares is an amount per share equal to 5.375% of the liquidation preference per annum (the equivalent to $1.34375 per share per annum, or $0.3359375 per
42

share per quarter). The amount of the dividend on the 5.750% Series F Preference Shares is an amount per share equal to 5.750% of the liquidation preference per annum (the equivalent to $1,437.50 per 5.750% Series F Preference Share per annum, or $359.375 per 5.750% Series F Preference Share per quarter, or $1.4375 per Depositary Share per annum, or $0.359375 per Depositary Share per quarter).

Common Shares
On March 22, 2019, in connection with the closing of the acquisition of TMR, the Company issued 1,739,071 of its common shares to Tokio as part of the aggregate consideration payable to Tokio under the TMR Stock Purchase Agreement. See “Note 3. Acquisition of Tokio Millennium Re” in the Company’s “Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements” included in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 for additional information related to the acquisition of TMR. On January 9, 2020, Tokio completed a secondary public offering of these common shares, which represented all of Tokio's remaining ownership in the Company. The Company did not receive any proceeds from Tokio’s sale of its common shares.
On June 5, 2020, the Company issued 6,325,000 of its common shares in an underwritten public offering at a public offering price of $166.00 per share. Concurrently with the public offering, the Company raised $75.0 million through the issuance of 451,807 of its common shares at a price of $166.00 per share to State Farm Mutual Automobile Insurance Company, one of the Company’s existing stockholders, in a private placement. The total net proceeds from the offerings were $1.1 billion.
Share Repurchases
The Company’s share repurchase program may be effected from time to time, depending on market conditions and other factors, through open market purchases and privately negotiated transactions. On November 10, 2017, RenaissanceRe’s Board of Directors approved a renewal of its authorized share repurchase program for an aggregate amount of up to $500.0 million. Unless terminated earlier by RenaissanceRe’s Board of Directors, the program will expire when the Company has repurchased the full value of the common shares authorized. The Company’s decision to repurchase common shares will depend on, among other matters, the market price of the common shares and the capital requirements of the Company. During the three months ended March 31, 2020, the Company repurchased 405,682 common shares in open market transactions at an aggregate cost of $62.6 million and an average price of $154.36 per common share. Given the current economic environment and to preserve capital for both risk and opportunity, the Company suspended share repurchases in March 2020. The Company did not engage in any share repurchase activity during the second and third quarters of 2020. At September 30, 2020, $437.4 million remained available for repurchase under the share repurchase program. In the near term, the Company intends to prioritize capital for deployment into its business; however, we may resume repurchases at any time when we believe it is prudent to do so and without further notice.

NOTE 13. DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS
From time to time, the Company may enter into derivative instruments such as futures, options, swaps, forward contracts and other derivative contracts primarily to manage its foreign currency exposure, obtain exposure to a particular financial market, for yield enhancement, or for trading and to assume risk. The Company’s derivative instruments can be exchange traded or over-the-counter, with over-the-counter derivatives generally traded under International Swaps and Derivatives Association master agreements, which establish the terms of the transactions entered into with the Company’s derivative counterparties. In the event a party becomes insolvent or otherwise defaults on its obligations, a master agreement generally permits the non-defaulting party to accelerate and terminate all outstanding transactions and net the transactions’ marked-to-market values so that a single sum in a single currency will be owed by, or owed to, the non-defaulting party. Effectively, this contractual close-out netting reduces credit exposure from gross to net exposure. Where the Company has entered into master netting agreements with counterparties, or the Company has the legal and contractual right to offset positions, the derivative positions are generally netted by counterparty and are reported accordingly in other assets and other liabilities. Commencing in the second quarter of 2019, the Company elected to adopt hedge accounting for certain of its derivative instruments used as hedges of a net investment in a foreign operation.
The tables below show the gross and net amounts of recognized derivative assets and liabilities at fair value, including the location on the consolidated balance sheets of the Company’s principal derivative instruments:

The Company is not aware of the existence of any credit-risk related contingent features that it believes would be triggered in its derivative instruments that are in a net liability position at September 30, 2020.
Derivative Instruments Not Designated as Hedges
Interest Rate Derivatives
The Company uses interest rate futures and swaps within its portfolio of fixed maturity investments to manage its exposure to interest rate risk, which may result in increasing or decreasing its exposure to this risk.
Interest Rate Futures
The fair value of interest rate futures is determined using exchange traded prices. At September 30, 2020, the Company had $2.2 billion of notional long positions and $1.1 billion of notional short positions of primarily Eurodollar and U.S. treasury futures contracts (December 31, 2019 - $2.5 billion and $1.0 billion, respectively).
Interest Rate Swaps
The fair value of interest rate swaps is determined using the relevant exchange traded price where available or a discounted cash flow model based on the terms of the contract and inputs, including, where applicable, observable yield curves. At September 30, 2020, the Company had $Nil of notional positions paying a fixed rate and $23.5 million receiving a fixed rate denominated in U.S. dollar swap contracts (December 31, 2019 - $27.9 million and $25.5 million, respectively).
Foreign Currency Derivatives
The Company’s reporting currency is the U.S. dollar. In addition, the functional currency of the Company, and the majority of the Company’s subsidiaries, is the U.S. dollar. However, the Company writes a portion of its business in currencies other than U.S. dollars and may, from time to time, experience foreign exchange gains and losses in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. All changes in exchange rates, with the exception of non-monetary assets and liabilities, are recognized in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations.
Underwriting and Non-investments Operations Related Foreign Currency Contracts
The Company’s foreign currency policy with regard to its underwriting operations is generally to enter into foreign currency forward and option contracts for notional values that approximate the foreign currency liabilities, including claims and claim expense reserves and reinsurance balances payable, net of any cash, investments and receivables held in the respective foreign currency. The Company’s use of foreign currency forward and option contracts is intended to minimize the effect of fluctuating foreign currencies on the value of non-U.S. dollar denominated assets and liabilities associated with its underwriting operations. The fair value of the Company’s underwriting operations related foreign currency contracts is determined using indicative pricing obtained from counterparties or broker quotes. At September 30, 2020, the Company had outstanding underwriting related foreign currency contracts of $445.4 million in notional long positions and $523.6 million in notional short positions, denominated in U.S. dollars (December 31, 2019 - $722.6 million and $1.2 billion, respectively).
Investment Portfolio Related Foreign Currency Forward Contracts
The Company’s investment operations are exposed to currency fluctuations through its investments in non-U.S. dollar fixed maturity investments, short term investments and other investments. From time to time, the Company may employ foreign currency forward contracts in its investment portfolio to either assume foreign currency risk or to economically hedge its exposure to currency fluctuations from these investments. The fair value of the Company’s investment portfolio related foreign currency forward contracts is determined using an interpolated rate based on closing forward market rates. At September 30, 2020, the Company had outstanding investment portfolio related foreign currency contracts of $257.4 million in notional long
53

positions and $112.3 million in notional short positions, denominated in U.S. dollars (December 31, 2019 - $195.6 million and $61.0 million, respectively).
Credit Derivatives
The Company’s exposure to credit risk is primarily due to its fixed maturity investments, short term investments, premiums receivable and reinsurance recoverable. From time to time, the Company may purchase credit derivatives to hedge its exposures in the insurance industry, and to assist in managing the credit risk associated with ceded reinsurance. The Company also employs credit derivatives in its investment portfolio to either assume credit risk or hedge its credit exposure.
Credit Default Swaps
The fair value of the Company’s credit default swaps is determined using industry valuation models, broker bid indications or internal pricing valuation techniques. The fair value of these credit default swaps can change based on a variety of factors including changes in credit spreads, default rates and recovery rates, the correlation of credit risk between the referenced credit and the counterparty, and market rate inputs such as interest rates. At September 30, 2020, the Company had outstanding credit default swaps of $Nil in notional positions to hedge credit risk and $115.2 million in notional positions to assume credit risk, denominated in U.S. dollars (December 31, 2019 - $0.5 million and $143.4 million, respectively).
Total Return Swaps
The Company uses total return swaps as a means to manage spread duration and credit exposure in its investment portfolio. The fair value of the Company’s total return swaps is determined using broker-dealer bid quotations, market-based prices from pricing vendors or valuation models. At September 30, 2020, the Company had $6.1 million of notional long positions (long credit) and $Nil of notional short positions (short credit), denominated in U.S. dollars (December 31, 2019 - $173.5 million and $Nil, respectively).
Equity Derivatives
Equity Futures
The Company uses equity derivatives in its investment portfolio from time to time to either assume equity risk or hedge its equity exposure. The fair value of the Company’s equity futures is determined using market-based prices from pricing vendors. At September 30, 2020, the Company had $Nil notional long position and $Nil notional short position of equity futures, denominated in U.S. dollars (December 31, 2019 - $122.0 million and $Nil, respectively).
Derivative Instruments Designated as Hedges of Net Investments in Foreign Operations
Foreign Currency Derivatives
Hedges of Net Investments in Foreign Operations
In connection with the acquisition of TMR, the Company acquired certain entities with non-U.S. dollar functional currencies, including RenaissanceRe Europe AG, Australia Branch and RenaissanceRe Europe AG, U.K. Branch, which have an Australian dollar and Pound sterling functional currency, respectively. The Company has entered into foreign exchange forwards to hedge the Australian dollar and Pound sterling net investments in foreign operations, on an after-tax basis, from changes in the exchange rates between the U.S. dollar and the Australian dollar and between the U.S. dollar and the Pound sterling.
The Company utilizes foreign exchange forward contracts to hedge the fair value of its net investments in foreign operations. During 2020 and 2019, the Company entered into foreign exchange forward contracts that were formally designated as hedges of its investments in RenaissanceRe Europe AG, Australia Branch and RenaissanceRe Europe AG, U.K Branch. There was no ineffectiveness in these transactions.

NOTE 14. COMMITMENTS, CONTINGENCIES AND OTHER ITEMS
There are no material changes from the commitments, contingencies and other items previously disclosed in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.
Legal Proceedings
The Company and its subsidiaries are subject to lawsuits and regulatory actions in the normal course of business that do not arise from or directly relate to claims on reinsurance treaties or contracts or direct surplus lines insurance policies. In the Company’s industry, business litigation may involve allegations of underwriting or claims-handling errors or misconduct, disputes relating to the scope of, or compliance with, the terms of delegated underwriting agreements, employment claims, regulatory actions or disputes arising from the Company’s business ventures. The Company’s operating subsidiaries are subject to claims litigation involving, among other things, disputed interpretations of policy coverages. Generally, the Company’s direct surplus lines insurance operations are subject to greater frequency and diversity of claims and claims-related litigation than its reinsurance operations and, in some jurisdictions, may be subject to direct actions by allegedly injured persons or entities seeking damages from policyholders. These lawsuits, involving or arising out of claims on policies issued by the Company’s subsidiaries which are typical to the insurance industry in general and in the normal course of business, are considered in its loss and loss expense reserves. In addition, the Company may from time to time engage in litigation or arbitration related to its claims for payment in respect of ceded reinsurance, including disputes that challenge the Company’s ability to enforce its underwriting intent. Such matters could result, directly or indirectly, in providers of protection not meeting their obligations to the Company or not doing so on a timely basis. The Company may also be subject to other disputes from time to time, relating to operational or other matters distinct from insurance or reinsurance claims. Any litigation or arbitration, or regulatory process contains an element of uncertainty, and the value of an exposure or a gain contingency related to a dispute is difficult to estimate. The Company believes that no individual litigation or arbitration to which it is presently a party is likely to have a material adverse effect on its financial condition, business or operations.

NOTE 17. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
Hurricane Delta, a Category 2 hurricane, made landfall on the Yucatán Peninsula on October 7, 2020, and subsequently in Louisiana on October 9, 2020, causing widespread flooding and damage, including in the region impacted by Hurricane Laura. The Company is also monitoring Hurricane Zeta, which made landfall on October 26, 2020 on the Yucatán Peninsula and is expected to make landfall in the U.S. on October 28, 2020. Additionally, wildfires impacting several Western U.S. states are ongoing.
The Company is in the preliminary stage of assessing the impact of these events beyond the third quarter of 2020. The Company’s assessment is based on, among other things, initial industry insured loss estimates, market share analysis, the application of its modeling techniques, a review of its in-force contracts and potential uncertainties relating to reinsurance recoveries. Based on the Company’s initial assessment of these events, it is anticipated that the impact on the Company’s financial results may be significant and could be material. However, it is difficult at this time to provide an accurate estimate of the financial impact of these events, including as a result of the preliminary nature of the information available, the preliminary nature of the information provided thus far by industry participants, the magnitude and recent occurrence of the events, and other factors. The estimated losses for these events will be reported in the Company's fourth quarter of 2020 financial results.

OVERVIEW
RenaissanceRe is a global provider of reinsurance and insurance. We provide property, casualty and specialty reinsurance and certain insurance solutions to customers, principally through intermediaries. Established in 1993, we have offices in Bermuda, Australia, Ireland, Singapore, Switzerland, the U.K. and the U.S. Our operating subsidiaries include Renaissance Reinsurance, Renaissance Reinsurance U.S. Inc. (“Renaissance Reinsurance U.S.”), RenaissanceRe Specialty U.S. Ltd. (“RenaissanceRe Specialty U.S.”), RenaissanceRe Europe, Renaissance Reinsurance of Europe Unlimited Company (“Renaissance Reinsurance of Europe”) and RenaissanceRe Syndicate 1458 (“Syndicate 1458”). We also underwrite reinsurance on behalf of joint ventures, including DaVinci Reinsurance Ltd. (“DaVinci”), Fibonacci Reinsurance Ltd. ("Fibonacci Re"), Top Layer Reinsurance Ltd. (“Top Layer Re”), Upsilon RFO Re Ltd. (“Upsilon RFO”) and Vermeer Reinsurance Ltd. (“Vermeer”). In addition, through RenaissanceRe Medici Fund Ltd. (“Medici”), we invest in various insurance-based investment instruments that have returns primarily tied to property catastrophe risk.
We aspire to be the world’s best underwriter by matching well-structured risks with efficient sources of capital and our mission is to produce superior returns for our shareholders over the long term. We seek to accomplish these goals by being a trusted, long-term partner to our customers for assessing and managing risk, delivering responsive and innovative solutions, leveraging our core capabilities of risk assessment and information management, investing in these core capabilities in order to serve our customers across market cycles, and keeping our promises. Our strategy focuses on superior risk selection, superior customer relationships and superior capital management. We provide value to our customers and joint venture partners in the form of financial security, innovative products, and responsive service. We are known as a leader in paying valid claims promptly. We principally measure our financial success through long-term growth in tangible book value per common share plus the change in accumulated dividends, which we believe is the most appropriate measure of our financial performance, and in respect of which we believe we have delivered superior performance over time.
Our core products include property, casualty and specialty reinsurance, and certain insurance products principally distributed through intermediaries, with whom we have cultivated strong long-term relationships. We believe we have been one of the world’s leading providers of catastrophe reinsurance since our founding. In recent years, through the strategic execution of several initiatives, including organic growth and acquisitions, we have expanded and diversified our casualty and specialty platform and products and believe we are a leader in certain casualty and specialty lines of business. We have determined our business consists of the following reportable segments: (1) Property, which is comprised of catastrophe and other property reinsurance and insurance written on behalf of our operating subsidiaries and certain joint
67

ventures managed by our ventures unit, and (2) Casualty and Specialty, which is comprised of casualty and specialty reinsurance and insurance written on behalf of our operating subsidiaries and certain joint ventures managed by our ventures unit. We also pursue a number of other opportunities through our ventures unit, which has responsibility for creating and managing our joint ventures, executing customized reinsurance transactions to assume or cede risk, and managing certain strategic investments directed at classes of risk other than catastrophe reinsurance. From time to time we consider diversification into new ventures, either through organic growth, the formation of new joint ventures, or the acquisition of, or the investment in, other companies or books of business of other companies.
To best serve our clients in the places they do business, we have operating subsidiaries, branches, joint ventures and underwriting platforms around the world, including DaVinci, Fibonacci Re, Renaissance Reinsurance, Top Layer Re, Upsilon RFO and Vermeer in Bermuda, Renaissance Reinsurance U.S. in the U.S., Syndicate 1458 in the U.K. and RenaissanceRe Europe in Switzerland, which has branches in Australia, Bermuda, the U.K. and the U.S. We write property and casualty and specialty reinsurance through our wholly owned operating subsidiaries, joint ventures and Syndicate 1458 and certain insurance products primarily through Syndicate 1458. Syndicate 1458 provides us with access to Lloyd’s extensive distribution network and worldwide licenses and also writes business through delegated authority arrangements. The underwriting results of our operating subsidiaries and underwriting platforms are included in our Property and Casualty and Specialty segment results as appropriate.
Since a meaningful portion of the reinsurance and insurance we write provides protection from damages relating to natural and man-made catastrophes, our results depend to a large extent on the frequency and severity of such catastrophic events, and the coverages we offer to customers affected by these events. We are exposed to significant losses from these catastrophic events and other exposures we cover, which primarily impact our Property segment, in both the property catastrophe and other property lines of business. Accordingly, we expect a significant degree of volatility in our financial results, and our financial results may vary significantly from quarter-to-quarter and from year-to-year, based on the level of insured catastrophic losses occurring around the world. We view our exposure to casualty and specialty lines of business as an efficient use of capital given these risks are generally less correlated with our property lines of business. This has allowed us to bring additional capacity to our clients across a wider range of product offerings, while continuing to be good stewards of our shareholders’ capital.
We continually explore appropriate and efficient ways to address the risk needs of our clients and the impact of various regulatory and legislative changes on our operations. We have created and managed, and continue to manage, multiple capital vehicles across several jurisdictions and may create additional risk bearing vehicles or enter into additional jurisdictions in the future. In addition, our differentiated strategy and capabilities position us to pursue bespoke or large solutions for clients, which may be non-recurring. This, and other factors including the timing of contract inception, could result in significant volatility of premiums in both our Property and Casualty and Specialty segments. As our product and geographical diversity increases, we may be exposed to new risks, uncertainties and sources of volatility.
Our revenues are principally derived from three sources: (1) net premiums earned from the reinsurance and insurance policies we sell; (2) net investment income and realized and unrealized gains from the investment of our capital funds and the investment of the cash we receive on the policies which we sell; and (3) fees and other income received from our joint ventures, advisory services and various other items.
Our expenses primarily consist of: (1) net claims and claim expenses incurred on the policies of reinsurance and insurance we sell; (2) acquisition costs which typically represent a percentage of the premiums we write; (3) operating expenses which primarily consist of personnel expenses, rent and other operating expenses; (4) corporate expenses which include certain executive, legal and consulting expenses, costs for research and development, transaction and integration-related expenses, and other miscellaneous costs, including those associated with operating as a publicly traded company; (5) redeemable noncontrolling interests, which represent the interests of third parties with respect to the net income of DaVinciRe Holdings Ltd. (“DaVinciRe”), Medici and Vermeer; and (6) interest and dividend costs related to our debt and preference shares. We are also subject to taxes in certain jurisdictions in which we operate. Since the majority of our income is currently earned in Bermuda, which does not have a corporate income tax, the tax impact to our operations has historically been minimal. In the future, our net tax exposure may increase as our operations expand geographically, or as a result of adverse tax developments.
68

The underwriting results of an insurance or reinsurance company are discussed frequently by reference to its net claims and claim expense ratio, underwriting expense ratio, and combined ratio. The net claims and claim expense ratio is calculated by dividing net claims and claim expenses incurred by net premiums earned. The underwriting expense ratio is calculated by dividing underwriting expenses (acquisition expenses and operational expenses) by net premiums earned. The combined ratio is the sum of the net claims and claim expense ratio and the underwriting expense ratio. A combined ratio below 100% indicates profitable underwriting prior to the consideration of investment income. A combined ratio over 100% indicates unprofitable underwriting prior to the consideration of investment income. We also discuss our net claims and claim expense ratio on a current accident year basis and a prior accident years basis. The current accident year net claims and claim expense ratio is calculated by taking current accident year net claims and claim expenses incurred, divided by net premiums earned. The prior accident years net claims and claim expense ratio is calculated by taking prior accident years net claims and claim expenses incurred, divided by net premiums earned.
Segments
Our reportable segments are defined as follows: (1) Property, which is comprised of catastrophe and other property reinsurance and insurance written on behalf of our operating subsidiaries and certain joint ventures managed by our ventures unit, and (2) Casualty and Specialty, which is comprised of casualty and specialty reinsurance and insurance written on behalf of our operating subsidiaries and certain joint ventures managed by our ventures unit. In addition to our two reportable segments, we have an Other category, which primarily includes our strategic investments, investments unit, corporate expenses, capital servicing costs, noncontrolling interests, certain expenses related to acquisitions and the remnants of our former Bermuda-based insurance operations.
Ventures
We pursue a number of other opportunities through our ventures unit, which has responsibility for creating and managing our joint ventures, executing customized reinsurance transactions to assume or cede risk and managing certain investments directed at classes of risk other than catastrophe reinsurance.
New Business
From time to time we consider diversification into new ventures, either through organic growth, the formation of new joint ventures, or the acquisition of or the investment in other companies or books of business of other companies. This potential diversification includes opportunities to write targeted, additional classes of risk-exposed business, both directly for our own account and through new joint venture opportunities. We also regularly evaluate potential strategic opportunities we believe might utilize our skills, capabilities, proprietary technology and relationships to support possible expansion into further risk-related coverages, services and products. Generally, we focus on underwriting or trading risks where we believe reasonably sufficient data is available and our analytical abilities provide us with a competitive advantage, in order for us to seek to model estimated probabilities of losses and returns in respect of our then current portfolio of risks.
We regularly review potential strategic transactions that might improve our portfolio of business, enhance or focus our strategies, expand our distribution or capabilities, or provide other benefits. In evaluating potential new ventures or investments, we generally seek an attractive estimated return on equity, the ability to develop or capitalize on a competitive advantage, and opportunities which we believe will not detract from our core operations. We believe that our ability to attract investment and operational opportunities is supported by our strong reputation and financial resources, and by the capabilities and track record of our ventures unit.

As a result of our net income available to RenaissanceRe common shareholders in the third quarter of 2020, we generated an annualized return on average common equity of 2.8% and our book value per common share increased from $134.27 at June 30, 2020 to $135.13 at September 30, 2020, a 0.9% increase, after considering the change in accumulated dividends paid to our common shareholders.
70

The most significant items affecting our financial performance during the third quarter of 2020, on a comparative basis to the third quarter of 2019, include:
•Impact of Catastrophe Events - we had a net negative impact on net income available to RenaissanceRe common shareholders of $321.7 million resulting from Hurricane Laura, Hurricane Sally, the wildfires occurring in California, Oregon and Washington (the “Q3 2020 Wildfires”), other catastrophe events including the August 2020 derecho which impacted the U.S. Midwest, Hurricane Isaias, and Typhoon Maysak (the “Other Q3 2020 Catastrophe Events”), and loss estimates associated with aggregate loss contracts on these and other events in the third quarter of 2020 (collectively, the “Q3 2020 Large Loss Events”). This compares to a net negative impact on net income available to RenaissanceRe common shareholders of $154.9 million resulting from Hurricane Dorian and Typhoon Faxai (collectively, the “Q3 2019 Catastrophe Events”) in the third quarter of 2019;
•Underwriting Results - we incurred an underwriting loss of $206.1 million and had a combined ratio of 120.6% in the third quarter of 2020, compared to an underwriting loss of $3.4 million and a combined ratio of 100.4% in the third quarter of 2019. Our underwriting loss in the third quarter of 2020 was comprised of our Property segment, which incurred an underwriting loss of $206.6 million and had a combined ratio of 140.0%, and our Casualty and Specialty segment, which generated underwriting income of $0.6 million and had a combined ratio of 99.9%. In comparison, our underwriting loss in the third quarter of 2019 was comprised of our Property segment, which incurred an underwriting loss of $7.7 million, partially offset by underwriting income of $4.5 million in our Casualty and Specialty segment.
Our underwriting results in the third quarter of 2020 were principally impacted by the Q3 2020 Large Loss Events, which resulted in a net negative impact on the underwriting result of $422.4 million and added 43.4 percentage points to the combined ratio, primarily in the Property segment. The third quarter of 2019 was impacted by the Q3 2019 Catastrophe Events, which resulted in a net negative impact on the underwriting result of $181.9 million and added 20.6 percentage points to the combined ratio;
•Gross Premiums Written - our gross premiums written increased by $282.0 million, or 32.7%, to $1.1 billion, in the third quarter of 2020, compared to the third quarter of 2019. This was comprised of an increase of $168.6 million in the Casualty and Specialty segment and an increase of $113.4 million in the Property segment;
•Investment Results - our total investment result, which includes the sum of net investment income and net realized and unrealized gains on investments, was $307.8 million in the third quarter of 2020, compared to $145.8 million in the third quarter of 2019, an increase of $162.0 million. The primary driver of the total investment result in the third quarter of 2020 was net realized and unrealized gains on investments of $224.2 million principally within our equity and fixed maturity investments trading portfolios; and
•Net Income Attributable to Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests - our net income attributable to redeemable noncontrolling interests was $19.3 million in the third quarter of 2020, compared to $62.1 million in the third quarter of 2019. The decrease was primarily driven by underwriting losses in DaVinciRe, partially offset by an increase in the net income of Medici as compared to the third quarter of 2019.
COVID-19 Pandemic
In late 2019 an outbreak of a novel strain of coronavirus originated in China and has since spread globally. In January 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak a global health emergency, and on March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the COVID-19 outbreak a pandemic. It is not yet possible to give an estimate of all of the Company’s potential reinsurance, insurance or investment exposures, or any other effects that the COVID-19 pandemic may have on our results of operations or financial condition. Due to the ongoing and rapidly evolving nature of the COVID-19 pandemic, we are continuing to evaluate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business, operations and financial condition, including our potential loss exposures.
We continue to evaluate industry trends and our potential exposure associated with the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, and expect historically significant industry losses to emerge over time as the full impact of the pandemic and its effects on the global economy are realized. A longer or more severe recession will increase the probability of losses. Potential legislative, regulatory and judicial actions are also causing
71

significant uncertainty with respect to policy coverage and other issues. Among other things, we continue to actively monitor information received from or reported by clients, brokers, industry actuaries, regulators, courts, and others, and to assess that information in the context of our own portfolio. Our loss estimates represent our best estimate based on currently available information, and actual losses may vary materially from these estimates. Losses incurred in respect of the COVID-19 pandemic will be reflected in the periods in which those losses are incurred.
In addition to coverage exposures, volatility in global financial markets, together with low or negative interest rates, reduced liquidity and a continued slowdown in global economic conditions, have adversely impacted, and may adversely affect, our investment portfolio in the future. These conditions may also negatively impact our ability to access liquidity and capital markets financing, which may not be available or may only be available on unfavorable terms.
While we believe we have been able to operate effectively with most of our employees working remotely, an extended period of remote work arrangements could strain the Company’s business continuity plans, introduce operational risk, including but not limited to cybersecurity risks, and adversely affect the Company’s ability to manage our business. For additional information see "Current Outlook" and "Part II, Item 1A, Risk Factors."
Net Negative Impact
Net negative impact includes the sum of estimates of net claims and claim expenses incurred, earned reinstatement premiums assumed and ceded, lost profit commissions and redeemable noncontrolling interest. Our estimates of net negative impact are based on a review of our potential exposures, preliminary discussions with certain counterparties and catastrophe modeling techniques. Our actual net negative impact, both individually and in the aggregate, may vary from these estimates, perhaps materially. Changes in these estimates will be recorded in the period in which they occur.
There remains meaningful uncertainty regarding the estimates and the nature and extent of the losses associated with catastrophe events, driven by the magnitude and recent occurrence of each event, the geographic areas in which the events occurred, relatively limited claims data received to date, the contingent nature of business interruption and other exposures, potential uncertainties relating to reinsurance recoveries and other factors inherent in loss estimation, among other things.
The financial data in the table below provides additional information detailing the net negative impact of the Q3 2020 Large Loss Events on our consolidated financial statements in the third quarter of 2020.

Property Gross Premiums Written
In the third quarter of 2020, our Property segment gross premiums written increased by $113.4 million, or 36.1%, to $427.8 million, compared to $314.4 million in the third quarter of 2019.
Gross premiums written in the catastrophe class of business were $179.7 million in the third quarter of 2020, an increase of $76.9 million, or 74.8%, compared to the third quarter of 2019. Gross written premiums in the third quarter of 2020 included $52.9 million of reinstatement premiums associated with the Q3 2020 Large Loss Events, as compared to $23.1 million of reinstatement premiums written in the third quarter of 2019 associated with the Q3 2019 Catastrophe Events. In addition, gross written premiums in the third quarter of 2019 included $26.4 million of negative premium adjustments related to the business of the third-party capital vehicles that the Company manages as a result of the acquisition of TMR. The negative premium adjustments were fully ceded and were reflected in ceded premiums written, resulting in no impact to the Company’s results of operations in the third quarter of 2019.
Gross premiums written in the other property class of business were $248.1 million in the third quarter of 2020, an increase of $36.5 million, or 17.2%, compared to the third quarter of 2019. This increase was driven by growth from existing relationships and new opportunities across a number of the Company’s underwriting platforms, including in the delegated authority insurance business of Syndicate 1458.

Ceded premiums written in our Property segment were $49.1 million in the third quarter of 2020, an increase of $37.6 million, or 329.6%, compared to the third quarter of 2019. In the third quarter of 2020,
74

ceded premiums written included certain of the gross premiums ceded to third-party investors in the Company’s managed vehicles, primarily RenaissanceRe Upsilon Fund Ltd. (“Upsilon Fund”). Ceded premiums written in the third quarter of 2019 included $26.4 million negative premium adjustments related to the business of the third-party capital vehicles that the Company manages as a result of the acquisition of TMR, as discussed above.
Due to the potential volatility of the reinsurance contracts which we sell, we purchase reinsurance to reduce our exposure to large losses and to help manage our risk portfolio. To the extent that appropriately priced coverage is available, we anticipate continued use of retrocessional reinsurance to reduce the impact of large losses on our financial results and to manage our portfolio of risk; however, the buying of ceded reinsurance in our Property segment is based on market opportunities and is not based on placing a specific reinsurance program each year. In addition, in future periods we may utilize the growing market for insurance-linked securities to expand our purchases of retrocessional reinsurance if we find the pricing and terms of such coverages attractive.
Property Underwriting Results
Our Property segment incurred an underwriting loss of $206.6 million in the third quarter of 2020, compared to an underwriting loss of $7.7 million in the third quarter of 2019. In the third quarter of 2020, our Property segment generated a net claims and claim expense ratio of 114.4%, an underwriting expense ratio of 25.6% and a combined ratio of 140.0%, compared to 76.1%, 25.6% and 101.7%, respectively, in the third quarter of 2019.
Principally impacting the underwriting result and combined ratio in the third quarter of 2020 were the Q3 2020 Large Loss Events, which resulted in a net negative impact on the Property segment underwriting result of $412.8 million and added 84.4 percentage points to the Property segment combined ratio. In comparison, the third quarter of 2019 was impacted by the Q3 2019 Catastrophe Events, which resulted in a net negative impact on the Property segment underwriting result of $178.9 million and added 42.3 percentage points to the Property segment combined ratio.

Casualty and Specialty Gross Premiums Written
In the third quarter of 2020, our Casualty and Specialty segment gross premiums written increased by $168.6 million, or 30.8%, to $715.3 million, compared to $546.7 million in the third quarter of 2019. The increase was due to growth from new and existing business opportunities written in the current and prior periods across various classes of business within the segment, partially offset by the non-renewal of a portion of the business acquired in connection with the acquisition of TMR.
Casualty and Specialty Ceded Premiums Written

| Three months ended September 30, | 2020 |  | 2019 |  | Change |
| (in thousands) |  |  |  |  |  |
| Ceded premiums written - Casualty and Specialty | $ | 194,590 |  |  | $ | 145,520 |  |  | $ | 49,070 |  |

Ceded premiums written in our Casualty and Specialty segment were $194.6 million in the third quarter of 2020, compared to $145.5 million in the third quarter of 2019, an increase of $49.1 million. The increase was primarily a result of increased gross premiums written subject to our retrocessional quota share reinsurance programs.
Casualty and Specialty Underwriting Results
Our Casualty and Specialty segment generated underwriting income of $0.6 million in the third quarter of 2020, compared to underwriting income of $4.5 million in the third quarter of 2019. In the third quarter of 2020, our Casualty and Specialty segment generated a net claims and claim expense ratio of 72.6%, an underwriting expense ratio of 27.3% and a combined ratio of 99.9% compared to 68.4%, 30.6% and 99.0%, respectively, in the third quarter of 2019.
The increase in the Casualty and Specialty net claims and claim expense ratio of 4.2 percentage points was principally the result of higher current accident year losses in the third quarter of 2020 compared to the third quarter of 2019. The net claims and claim expense ratio was impacted by net losses resulting from the
76

impact of Hurricane Laura and the purchase of an adverse development cover associated with Syndicate 1458’s casualty reserves, which combined to add 3.2 percentage points. While the net claims and claim expense ratio was also impacted by increased reserves in our mortgage guaranty book within our financial lines business, there was an offsetting impact to acquisition expenses as a result of reduced profit commission expense associated with this business. The underwriting expense ratio in the Casualty and Specialty segment decreased 3.3 percentage points, to 27.3%, in the third quarter of 2020 compared to the third quarter of 2019, driven by lower acquisition and operating expense ratios. The decrease in profit commission expense noted above was the principal driver of the decrease in acquisition costs. Operating expenses were impacted by reduced travel, marketing and office operational expenses as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.

| Total fee income | $ | 18,384 |  |  | $ | 31,998 |  |  | $ | (13,614) |  |

The table above shows total fee income earned through third-party capital management, various joint ventures and certain structured retrocession agreements to which we are a party. Performance fees are based on the performance of the individual vehicles or products, and may be negative in a particular period if, for example, large losses occur, which can potentially result in no performance fees or the reversal of previously accrued performance fees. Joint ventures include DaVinciRe, Top Layer Re, Vermeer and Langhorne. Managed funds include Upsilon Fund and Medici. Structured reinsurance products and other includes certain vehicles and reinsurance contracts which transfer risk to capital.
In the third quarter of 2020, total fee income earned through third-party capital management, various joint ventures and certain structured retrocession agreements to which we are a party decreased $13.6 million, to $18.4 million, compared to $32.0 million in the third quarter of 2019, primarily driven by lower underlying performance of our joint ventures and structured reinsurance products, primarily related to the Q3 2020 Large Loss Events, partially offset by an increase in the dollar value of managed capital compared to the third quarter of 2019. Of the $18.4 million in total fee income earned through third-party capital management in the third quarter of 2020, $5.0 million was recorded through redeemable noncontrolling interest and $13.4 million was recorded through underwriting income as a reduction to operating expenses and acquisition expenses (2019 - $15.9 million and $16.1 million, respectively).
In addition to the fee income earned through third-party capital management, various joint ventures and certain structured retrocession agreements to which we are a party, as detailed in the table above, we also earn fee income on certain other underwriting-related activities. These fees, in the aggregate, are recorded as a reduction to operating expenses or acquisition expenses, as applicable. The total fees, as described above and including fee income earned on these other underwriting-related activities, earned by us in the third quarter of 2020 that were recorded as a reduction to operating expenses and as an increase in acquisition expenses were $30.6 million and $1.9 million, respectively, resulting in a reduction to the combined ratio of 2.9% (2019 - a reduction of $22.7 million, a reduction of $8.1 million and 3.4%, respectively).

Net investment income was $83.5 million in the third quarter of 2020, compared to $111.4 million in the third quarter of 2019, a decrease of $27.8 million. Impacting our net investment income for the third quarter of 2020 were lower returns in our fixed maturity and short term investments, primarily as a result of lower yields on these investments following the decline in interest rates in early 2020.

| Net realized and unrealized gains on investments | $ | 224,208 |  |  | $ | 34,395 |  |  | $ | 189,813 |  |

Our investment portfolio strategy is structured to emphasize the preservation of capital and the availability of liquidity to meet our claims obligations and to be well diversified across market sectors. A large majority of our investments are invested in the fixed income markets and, therefore, our realized and unrealized holding gains and losses on investments are highly correlated to fluctuations in interest rates and credit spreads. Therefore, everything else being constant, as interest rates or credit spreads decline, we will tend to have realized and unrealized gains from our fixed maturity investments portfolio, and as interest rates and credit spreads rise, we will tend to have realized and unrealized losses from our fixed maturity investments portfolio.
Net realized and unrealized gains on investments were $224.2 million in the third quarter of 2020, compared to net realized and unrealized gains of $34.4 million in the third quarter of 2019, an increase of $189.8 million. Principally impacting our net realized and unrealized gains on investments were net realized and unrealized gains on equity investments trading, including significant gains from certain positions within our strategic investment portfolio, and fixed maturity investments trading, primarily due to the decline in
78

credit spreads related to the market recovery following the disruption in global financial markets associated with the COVID-19 pandemic.

| Net foreign exchange gains (losses) | $ | 17,426 |  |  | $ | (8,275) |  |  | $ | 25,701 |  |

Our functional currency is the U.S. dollar. We routinely write a portion of our business in currencies other than U.S. dollars and invest a portion of our cash and investment portfolio in those currencies. In addition, and in connection with the acquisition of TMR, we acquired certain entities with non-U.S. dollar functional currencies. As a result, we may experience foreign exchange gains and losses in our consolidated financial statements. We are primarily impacted by foreign currency exposures associated with our underwriting operations, investment portfolio, and our operations with non-U.S. dollar functional currencies, and may, from time to time, enter into foreign currency forward and option contracts to minimize the effect of fluctuating foreign currencies on the value of non-U.S. dollar denominated assets and liabilities.
Refer to “Part II, Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk” in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 for additional information related to our exposure to foreign currency risk and “Note 13. Derivative Instruments” in our “Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements” for additional information related to foreign currency forward and option contracts we have entered into.

(collectively, the “Tower Hill Companies”) and Top Layer Re, and, except for Top Layer Re, is recorded one quarter in arrears. Top Layer Re is recorded on a current quarter basis. The carrying value of these investments on our consolidated balance sheets, individually or in the aggregate, may differ from the realized value we may ultimately attain, perhaps significantly so. The other category includes our equity investments in a select group of insurance and insurance-related companies.
Equity in earnings of other ventures was $5.5 million in the third quarter of 2020, compared to $5.9 million in the third quarter of 2019, a decrease of $0.4 million, principally driven by reduced profitability of our equity investments in the Tower Hill Companies, partially offset by improved profitability associated with a select group of insurance and insurance-related companies within the other category.

| Total other income | $ | 1,476 |  |  | $ | 1,016 |  |  | $ | 460 |  |

In the third quarter of 2020, we generated other income of $1.5 million, compared to $1.0 million in the third quarter of 2019, an increase of $0.5 million, primarily related to our assumed and ceded reinsurance contracts accounted for as derivatives and deposits.
Corporate Expenses

| Three months ended September 30, | 2020 |  | 2019 |  | Change |
| (in thousands) |  |  |  |  |  |
| Corporate expenses | $ | 48,050 |  |  | $ | 13,844 |  |  | $ | 34,206 |  |

Corporate expenses include certain executive, director, legal and consulting expenses, costs for research and development, impairment charges related to goodwill and other intangible assets, and other miscellaneous costs, including those associated with operating as a publicly traded company, as well as costs associated with the acquisition of TMR and the sale of RenaissanceRe UK. From time to time, we may revise the allocation of certain expenses between corporate and operating expenses to better reflect the characteristic of the underlying expense.
Corporate expenses increased to $48.1 million in the third quarter of 2020, compared to $13.8 million in the third quarter of 2019, primarily driven by the $30.2 million loss on the sale of RenaissanceRe UK on August 18, 2020, as well as related transaction and other expenses, and expenses associated with senior management departures during the third quarter of 2020. The loss on sale includes amounts related to prior purchase GAAP adjustments and cumulative currency translation adjustments recorded since the acquisition of RenaissanceRe UK.
Income Tax Benefit (Expense)

| Three months ended September 30, | 2020 |  | 2019 |  | Change |
| (in thousands) |  |  |  |  |  |
| Income tax benefit (expense) | $ | 8,244 |  |  | $ | (3,664) |  |  | $ | 11,908 |  |

We are subject to income taxes in certain jurisdictions in which we operate; however, since the majority of our income is generally earned in Bermuda, which does not have a corporate income tax, the tax impact to our operations has historically been minimal.
We recognized an income tax benefit of $8.2 million in the third quarter of 2020, compared to an expense of $3.7 million in the third quarter of 2019, principally driven by lower underwriting performance and other miscellaneous items in the U.S., including amounts resulting from the continued impacts of U.S. tax reform, partially offset by investment gains, primarily in the U.S. based operations.

| Net income attributable to redeemable noncontrolling interests | $ | (19,301) |  |  | $ | (62,057) |  |  | $ | 42,756 |  |

Our net income attributable to redeemable noncontrolling interests was $19.3 million in the third quarter of 2020, compared to $62.1 million in the third quarter of 2019, a change of $42.8 million. The decrease was primarily driven by underwriting losses in DaVinciRe, partially offset by an increase in the net income of Medici compared to the third quarter of 2019.

The most significant items affecting our financial performance during the nine months ended September 30, 2020, on a comparative basis to the nine months ended September 30, 2019, include:
•TMR - the second quarter of 2019 was the first quarter that reflected the results of TMR in our results of operations. As such, our results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2019, should be viewed in that context;
•Impact of Catastrophe Events - in the nine months ended September 30, 2020 we had a net negative impact on net income available to RenaissanceRe common shareholders of $327.5 million resulting from Hurricane Laura, Hurricane Sally, the Q3 2020 Wildfires, Other Q3 2020 Catastrophe Events and loss estimates associated with aggregate loss contracts on these and other events in 2020 (collectively, the “2020 Large Loss Events”). This compares to a net negative impact on net income available to RenaissanceRe common shareholders of $154.9 million resulting from the Q3 2019 Catastrophe Events in the nine months ended September 30, 2019;
•Underwriting Results - we generated underwriting income of $75.1 million and had a combined ratio of 97.4% in the nine months ended September 30, 2020, compared to underwriting income of $321.6 million and a combined ratio of 86.4% in the nine months ended September 30, 2019. Our underwriting income in the nine months ended September 30, 2020 was comprised of $141.2 million of underwriting income in our Property segment and a $66.1 million underwriting loss in our Casualty and Specialty segment. In comparison, our underwriting income in the nine months ended September 30, 2019 was comprised of our Property segment, which generated underwriting income of $296.4 million, and our Casualty and Specialty segment, which generated underwriting income of $25.2 million.
Included in our underwriting results in the nine months ended September 30, 2020 was the impact of the 2020 Large Loss Events, which resulted in a net negative impact on the underwriting result of $428.7 million and added 15.0 percentage points to the combined ratio, primarily in the Property segment. In comparison, the nine months ended September 30, 2019 was impacted by the Q3 2019 Catastrophe Events, which resulted in a net negative impact on the underwriting result of $181.9 million and added 7.9 percentage points to the combined ratio. Our underwriting result in the nine months ended September 30, 2020 was also negatively impacted by net claims and claim expenses associated with the COVID-19 pandemic of $123.1 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2020, primarily in the Casualty and Specialty segment. The losses primarily represent the cost of claims incurred but not yet reported, with respect to exposures such as event contingency and event-based casualty covers;
•Gross Premiums Written - our gross premiums written increased by $968.4 million, or 24.8%, to $4.9 billion, in the nine months ended September 30, 2020, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2019, with an increase of $504.8 million in the Property segment and an increase of $463.5 million in the Casualty and Specialty segment, driven by growth from existing relationships, new opportunities across a number of our underwriting platforms, rate improvements, and business acquired in connection with the acquisition of TMR;
•Investment Results - our total investment result, which includes the sum of net investment income and net realized and unrealized gains on investments, was $834.2 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2020, compared to $707.7 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2019, an increase of $126.5 million. Impacting the investment result were realized and unrealized gains on fixed maturity investments trading and equity investments trading, partially offset by realized and unrealized losses on other investments;
•Net Income Attributable to Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests - our net income attributable to redeemable noncontrolling interests was $236.1 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2020, compared to $204.1 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2019. The increase was primarily driven by growth and improved performance, with higher net income from Medici and Vermeer, partially offset by lower net income from DaVinci, during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2019; and
83

•Common Share Offering - on June 5, 2020, we issued 6,325,000 of our common shares in an underwritten public offering at a public offering price of $166.00 per share. Concurrently with the public offering, we raised $75.0 million through the issuance of 451,807 of our common shares at a price of $166.00 per share to State Farm Mutual Automobile Insurance Company (“State Farm”), one of our existing stockholders, in a private placement. The total net proceeds from the offerings were $1.1 billion.

The increase in ceded premiums written was principally due to certain of the gross premiums written in the catastrophe class of business noted above being ceded to third-party investors in our managed vehicles, primarily Upsilon Fund and Mona Lisa Re Ltd., as well as an overall increase in ceded purchases as part of the Company’s gross-to-net strategy.

Casualty and Specialty Gross Premiums Written
In the nine months ended September 30, 2020, our Casualty and Specialty segment gross premiums written increased by $463.5 million, or 27.0%, to $2.2 billion, compared to $1.7 billion in the nine months ended September 30, 2019. The increase was due to growth from new and existing business opportunities written in the current and prior periods across various classes of business within the segment, and business acquired in connection with the acquisition of TMR.

Ceded premiums written in our Casualty and Specialty segment increased by $115.7 million, to $587.2 million, in the nine months ended September 30, 2020, compared to $471.5 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2019, primarily resulting from increased gross premiums written subject to our retrocessional quota share reinsurance programs, as well as an overall increase in ceded purchases as part of our gross-to-net strategy.
Casualty and Specialty Underwriting Results
Our Casualty and Specialty segment incurred an underwriting loss of $66.1 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2020, compared to underwriting income of $25.2 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2019. In the nine months ended September 30, 2020, our Casualty and Specialty segment generated a net claims and claim expense ratio of 75.2%, an underwriting expense ratio of 29.2% and a combined ratio of 104.4%, compared to 65.7%, 32.2% and 97.9%, respectively, in the nine months ended
88

September 30, 2019. The underwriting loss in the nine months ended September 30, 2020 was principally driven by net claims and claim expenses associated with the COVID-19 pandemic of $113.7 million, which added 7.6 percentage points to the combined ratio during the nine months ended September 30, 2020.
Our Casualty and Specialty segment experienced net favorable development on prior accident years net claims and claim expenses of $23.8 million, or 1.6 percentage points, during the nine months ended September 30, 2020, compared to $19.7 million, or 1.6 percentage points, respectively, in the nine months ended September 30, 2019. The net favorable development during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 was principally driven by reported losses coming in lower than expected.
See “Note 6. Reserve for Claims and Claim Expenses” in our “Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements” for additional information related to the development of prior accident years net claims and claim expenses.
While the additional net claims and claim expenses associated with the COVID-19 pandemic that we incurred in the second and third quarters of 2020 were not significant, the Company continues to evaluate industry trends and its own potential exposure associated with the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, and expects historically significant industry losses to emerge over time as the full impact of the pandemic and its effects on the global economy are realized. Among other things, the Company continues to actively monitor information received from or reported by clients, brokers, industry actuaries, regulators, courts, and others, and to assess that information in the context of its own portfolio. Our loss estimates represent our best estimate based on currently available information, and actual losses may vary materially from these estimates. Additionally, losses incurred in respect of the COVID-19 pandemic subsequent to September 30, 2020 will be reflected in the periods in which those losses are incurred.

In the nine months ended September 30, 2020, total fee income earned through third-party capital management, various joint ventures and certain structured retrocession agreements to which we are a party increased $8.3 million, to $109.3 million, compared to $101.0 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2019, primarily driven by an increase in the dollar value of capital being managed and partially offset by reduced underlying performance. Of the $109.3 million in total fee income earned in the nine months ended September 30, 2020 through third-party capital management, various joint ventures and certain structured retrocession agreements to which we are a party, $57.5 million was recorded through redeemable noncontrolling interest and $51.7 million was recorded through underwriting income as a reduction to operating expenses and acquisition expenses (2019 - $49.5 million and $51.5 million, respectively).
In addition to the fee income earned through third-party capital management, joint ventures and certain structured retrocession agreements to which we are a party, as detailed in the table above, we also earn fee income on certain other underwriting-related activities. These fees, in the aggregate, are recorded as a
89

reduction to operating expenses or acquisition expenses, as applicable. The total fees, as described above and including fee income earned on certain other underwriting-related activities, earned by us in the nine months ended September 30, 2020 that were recorded as a reduction to operating expenses or acquisition expenses were $85.4 million and $7.5 million, respectively, resulting in a reduction to the combined ratio of 3.2% (2019 - $67.0 million, $17.5 million and 3.4%, respectively).

Net investment income was $272.3 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2020, compared to $312.1 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2019, a decrease of $39.7 million. Impacting our net investment income for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 were lower returns in our fixed maturity and short term investments, primarily as a result of lower yields on these investments following the decline in interest rates in early 2020, partially offset by higher returns on our catastrophe bonds due to growth in the portfolio.

Principally impacting our net realized and unrealized gains on investments in the nine months ended September 30, 2020 were:
•net realized and unrealized gains on our fixed maturity investments trading of $412.7 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2020, compared to net realized and unrealized gains of $296.0 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2019, an increase of $116.7 million, principally driven by higher realized gains generated on the sale of fixed maturity investments, partially offset by lower unrealized gains on fixed maturity investments trading;

| Net foreign exchange gains (losses) | $ | 4,503 |  |  | $ | (1,812) |  |  | $ | 6,315 |  |

Our functional currency is the U.S. dollar. We routinely write a portion of our business in currencies other than U.S. dollars and invest a portion of our cash and investment portfolio in those currencies. In addition, and in connection with the acquisition of TMR, we acquired certain entities with non-U.S. dollar functional currencies. As a result, we may experience foreign exchange gains and losses in our consolidated financial statements. We are primarily impacted by foreign currency exposures associated with our underwriting operations, investment portfolio, and operations with non-U.S. dollar functional currencies, and may, from time to time, enter into foreign currency forward and option contracts to minimize the effect of fluctuating foreign currencies on the value of non-U.S. dollar denominated assets and liabilities.

The increase was primarily driven by growth and improved performance, with higher net income from Medici and Vermeer, partially offset by lower net income from DaVinci, during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2019.
FINANCIAL CONDITION, LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Company's liquidity and capital resources were not materially impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic and related volatility and slowdown in the global financial markets during the nine months ended September 30, 2020. For further discussion regarding the potential future impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic and related economic conditions on the Company's liquidity and capital resources, see "Current Outlook" and "Part II, Item 1A, Risk Factors."
Financial Condition
As a Bermuda-domiciled holding company, RenaissanceRe has limited operations of its own. Its assets consist primarily of investments in subsidiaries, and, to a degree, cash and securities in amounts which fluctuate over time. We therefore rely on dividends and distributions (and other statutorily permissible payments) from our subsidiaries, investment income and fee income to meet our liquidity requirements, which primarily include making principal and interest payments on our debt and dividend payments to our preference and common shareholders.
The payment of dividends by our subsidiaries is, under certain circumstances, limited by the applicable laws and regulations in the various jurisdictions in which our subsidiaries operate, including Bermuda, the U.S., the U.K., Switzerland, Australia, Singapore and Ireland. In addition, insurance laws require our insurance subsidiaries to maintain certain measures of solvency and liquidity. We believe that each of our insurance subsidiaries and branches exceeded the minimum solvency, capital and surplus requirements in their applicable jurisdictions at September 30, 2020. Certain of our subsidiaries and branches are required to file financial condition reports (“FCRs”) with their regulators, which provide details on solvency and financial performance. Where required, these FCRs will be posted on our website. The regulations governing our and our principal operating subsidiaries’ ability to pay dividends and to maintain certain measures of solvency and liquidity, and requirements to file FCRs are discussed in detail in “Part I, Item 1. Business, Regulation” and “Note 18. Statutory Requirements” in our “Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements” in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.

Liquidity and Cash Flows
Holding Company Liquidity
RenaissanceRe’s principal uses of liquidity are: (1) common share related transactions including dividend payments to our common shareholders and common share repurchases, (2) preference share related transactions including dividend payments to our preference shareholders and preference share redemptions, (3) interest and principal payments on debt, (4) capital investments in our subsidiaries, (5) acquisition of new or existing companies or businesses, such as our acquisition of TMR and (6) certain corporate and operating expenses.
We attempt to structure our organization in a way that facilitates efficient capital movements between RenaissanceRe and our operating subsidiaries and to ensure that adequate liquidity is available when required, giving consideration to applicable laws and regulations, and the domiciliary location of sources of liquidity and related obligations.
In the aggregate, our principal operating subsidiaries have historically produced sufficient cash flows to meet their expected claims payments and operational expenses and to provide dividend payments to us. In addition, our subsidiaries maintain a concentration of investments in high quality liquid securities, which management believes will provide additional liquidity for extraordinary claims payments should the need arise. However, in some circumstances, RenaissanceRe may contribute capital to its subsidiaries. For example, during 2018 and 2017 we experienced significant losses from large catastrophe events, and as we would expect following events of this magnitude, it was necessary for RenaissanceRe to contribute capital to certain of our principal operating subsidiaries to ensure they were able to maintain levels of capital adequacy and liquidity in compliance with various laws and regulations, support rating agency capital requirements, pay valid claims quickly and be adequately capitalized to pursue business opportunities as they arise. During 2019, RenaissanceRe contributed capital to RenaissanceRe Specialty Holdings (UK) Limited to fund the acquisition of TMR and made a capital contribution to Renaissance Reinsurance to increase its shareholders’ equity, consistent with past practice following a significant acquisition and to support growth in premiums. In addition, from time to time we invest in new managed joint ventures, increase our investments in certain of our managed joint ventures and contribute cash to investment subsidiaries. In certain instances, we are required to make capital contributions to our subsidiaries, for example, Renaissance Reinsurance is obligated to make a mandatory capital contribution of up to $50.0 million in the event that a loss reduces Top Layer Re’s capital below a specified level.
Sources of Liquidity
Historically, cash receipts from operations, consisting primarily of premiums, investment income and fee income, have provided sufficient funds to pay losses and operating expenses of our subsidiaries and to fund dividends and distributions to RenaissanceRe. Other potential sources of liquidity include borrowings under our credit facilities and issuances of securities. For example, in June 2020, we raised $1.1 billion of net proceeds in an underwritten public offering and concurrent private placement of our common shares.
The premiums received by our operating subsidiaries are generally received months or even years before losses are paid under the policies related to such premiums. Premiums and acquisition expenses generally are received within the first two years of inception of a contract while operating expenses are generally paid within a year of being incurred. It generally takes much longer for claims and claims expenses to be reported and ultimately settled, requiring the establishment of reserves for claims and claim expenses. Therefore, the amount of claims paid in any one year is not necessarily related to the amount of net claims incurred in that year, as reported in the consolidated statement of operations.
While we expect that our liquidity needs will continue to be met by our cash receipts from operations, as a result of the combination of current market conditions, lower than usual investment yields, and the nature of our business where a large portion of the coverages we provide can produce losses of high severity and low frequency, future cash flows from operating activities cannot be accurately predicted and may fluctuate significantly between individual quarters and years. In addition, due to the magnitude and complexity of certain large loss events, meaningful uncertainty remains regarding losses from these events and our actual ultimate net losses from these events may vary materially from preliminary estimates, which would impact our cash flows from operations. Further, we expect historically significant industry losses related to the
94

COVID-19 pandemic to emerge over time as the full impact of the pandemic and its effects on the global economy are realized, which may impact our cash flows from operations.
Our “shelf” registration statement on Form S-3 under the Securities Act allows for the public offering of various types of securities, including common shares, preference shares and debt securities, and thus provides a source of liquidity. Because we are a “well-known seasoned issuer” as defined by the rules promulgated under the Securities Act, we are also eligible to file additional automatically effective registration statements on Form S-3 in the future for the potential offering and sale of an unlimited amount of debt and equity securities.
Credit Facilities
In addition, we maintain credit facilities that provide liquidity and allow us to satisfy certain collateral requirements. The outstanding amounts drawn under each of our significant credit facilities are set forth below:

(1) At September 30, 2020, no amounts were issued or drawn under this facility.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the letters of credit and facilities that were transferred to the Company in connection with the acquisition of TMR were terminated. There have been no other material changes to our credit facilities as disclosed in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.
Refer to “Note 7. Debt and Credit Facilities” in our “Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements” for additional information related to our debt and significant credit facilities.
Funds at Lloyd’s
As a member of Lloyd’s, the underwriting capacity, or stamp capacity, of Syndicate 1458 must be supported by providing a deposit in the form of cash, securities or letters of credit (referred to as “Funds at Lloyd’s” or “FAL”). At September 30, 2020, the FAL required to support the underwriting activities at Lloyd’s through Syndicate 1458 was £509.0 million (December 31, 2019 - £524.3 million). Actual FAL posted for Syndicate 1458 at September 30, 2020 by RenaissanceRe Corporate Capital (UK) Limited was £561.1 million (December 31, 2019 - £522.5 million), supported by a $290.0 million letter of credit and a $405.7 million deposit of cash and fixed maturity securities (December 31, 2019 - $290.0 million and $385.9 million, respectively).
Multi-Beneficiary Reinsurance Trusts and Multi-Beneficiary Reduced Collateral Reinsurance Trusts
Certain of our insurance subsidiaries use multi-beneficiary reinsurance trusts and multi-beneficiary reduced collateral reinsurance trusts to collateralize reinsurance liabilities. Refer to “Note 18. Statutory Requirements” in our “Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements” in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 for additional information.
Multi-Beneficiary Reinsurance Trusts

During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, our cash and cash equivalents decreased by $91.7 million, to $1.3 billion at September 30, 2020, compared to $1.4 billion at December 31, 2019.
Cash flows provided by operating activities. Cash flows provided by operating activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 were $1.3 billion, compared to $1.3 billion during the nine months ended September 30, 2019. Cash flows provided by operating activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 were primarily the result of certain adjustments to reconcile our net income of $801.4 million to net cash provided by operating activities, including:
•an increase in reinsurance balances payable of $1.1 billion principally driven by the issuance of non-voting preference shares to investors in Upsilon RFO, which are accounted for as prospective reinsurance and included in reinsurance balances payable on our consolidated balance sheet. See “Note 9. Variable Interest Entities” in our “Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements” for additional information related to Upsilon RFO’s non-voting preference shares;
•an increase in unearned premiums of $745.5 million due to the growth in gross premiums written across both our Property and Casualty and Specialty segments;
•an increase in reserve for claims and claim expenses of $675.1 million primarily the result of net claims and claim expenses associated with the 2020 Large Loss Events, partially offset by a reduction in net claims and claim expenses of $155.2 million due to the sale of RenaissanceRe UK; partially offset by
•an increase in premiums receivable of $736.1 million due to the timing of receipts and increase in our gross premiums written;
•net realized and unrealized gains on investments of $561.9 million principally driven by higher realized gains generated on the sale of fixed maturity investments trading and higher overall returns in our portfolio of equity investments trading, partially offset by lower overall returns in our portfolio of other investments;
•an increase of $314.5 million in our prepaid reinsurance premiums due to the timing of payments and increase in ceded premiums written; and
•a decrease in other operating cash flows of $267.4 million primarily reflecting subscriptions received in advance of the issuance of Upsilon RFO’s non-voting preference shares effective January 1, 2020, which were recorded in other liabilities at December 31, 2019. During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, in connection with the issuance of the non-voting preference shares of
96

Upsilon RFO, other liabilities were reduced by the subscriptions received in advance, and reinsurance balances payable were increased by an offsetting amount, with corresponding impacts to other operating cash flows and the change in reinsurance balances payable, as noted above, on our consolidated statements of cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. See “Note 9. Variable Interest Entities” in our “Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements” for additional information related to Upsilon RFO’s non-voting preference shares.
Cash flows used in investing activities. During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, our cash flows used in investing activities were $2.1 billion, principally reflecting net purchases of fixed maturity investments trading, short term investments and other investments of $1.5 billion, $549.2 million and $101.3 million, respectively. The net purchase of fixed maturity investments trading was primarily funded by cash flows provided by operating activities, as described above, and the issuance of RenaissanceRe common shares during the second quarter of 2020, whereas the net purchase of short term investments was primarily associated with capital received from investors in Upsilon RFO during the nine months ended September 30, 2020. The net purchase of other investments during the nine months ended September 30, 2020, was primarily driven by an increased allocation to catastrophe bonds. Partially offsetting these net outflows in our cash flows used in investing activities was net proceeds of $136.7 million from the sale of RenaissanceRe UK during the third quarter of 2020.
Cash flows provided by financing activities. Our cash flows provided by financing activities in the nine months ended September 30, 2020 were $632.3 million, and were principally the result of:
•the issuance of 6,325,000 of our common shares in an underwritten public offering at a public offering price of $166.00 per share, combined with an additional $75.0 million raised through the issuance of 451,807 of our common shares at a price of $166.00 per share to State Farm, one of our existing stockholders, in a private placement. The total net proceeds from the offerings were $1.1 billion;
•net inflows of $59.1 million primarily related to net third-party redeemable noncontrolling interest share transactions in Medici and Vermeer; partially offset by
•the repayment in full at maturity the aggregate principal amount of $250.0 million, plus applicable accrued interest, of our 5.75% Senior Notes due 2020 of RenRe North America Holdings Inc. and RenaissanceRe Finance;
•the redemption of all 5 million of our outstanding Series C 6.08% Preference Shares on March 26, 2020 for $125.0 million plus accrued and unpaid dividends thereon;
•the repurchase of 406 thousand of our common shares in open market transactions at an aggregate cost of $62.6 million and an average price of $154.36 per common share; and
•dividends paid on our common and preference shares of $50.8 million and $23.6 million, respectively.
2019
During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, our cash and cash equivalents decreased by $236.7 million, to $871.3 million at September 30, 2019, compared to $1.1 billion at December 31, 2018.
Cash flows provided by operating activitie s. Cash flows provided by operating activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 were $1.3 billion, compared to $888.5 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2018. Cash flows provided by operating activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 were primarily the result of certain adjustments to reconcile our net income of $909.9 million to net cash provided by operating activities, including:
•an increase in reinsurance balances payable of $738.4 million principally driven by the issuance of non-voting preference shares to investors in Upsilon RFO, which are accounted for as prospective reinsurance and included in reinsurance balances payable on our consolidated balance sheet. See “Note 10. Variable Interest Entities” in our “Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements” for additional information related to Upsilon RFO’s non-voting preference shares;
•an increase in unearned premiums of $487.9 million due to the growth in gross premiums written across both our Property and Casualty and Specialty segments;
97

•a net decrease in reinsurance recoverable of $482.7 million, after taking into account the acquisition of TMR, primarily resulting from the collection of $930.7 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2019, partially offset by increases to reinsurance recoverable principally driven by increases in net claims and claim expenses associated with current accident year losses, combined with the continued execution of our gross-to-net strategy;
•an increase in reserve for claims and claim expenses of $118.7 million as a result of claims and claims expenses incurred of $1.8 billion during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 principally driven by current accident year losses, partially offset by claims payments of $1.6 billion primarily associated with prior accident years losses; partially offset by
•increases in premiums receivable of $625.0 million due to the timing of receipts of our gross premiums written;
•an increase of $216.1 million in our prepaid reinsurance premiums due to an increase in ceded premiums written;
•a decrease in other operating cash flows of $277.1 million primarily reflecting subscriptions received in advance of the issuance of Upsilon RFO’s non-voting preference shares effective January 1, 2019, which were recorded in other liabilities at December 31, 2018. During the first nine months of 2019, in connection with the issuance of the non-voting preference shares of Upsilon RFO, other liabilities were reduced by the subscriptions received in advance, and reinsurance balances payable were increased by an offsetting amount, with corresponding impacts to other operating cash flows and the change in reinsurance balances payable, as noted above, on our consolidated statements of cash flows for the first nine months of 2019. See “Note 9. Variable Interest Entities” in our “Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements” for additional information related to Upsilon RFO’s non-voting preference shares; and
•net realized and unrealized gains on investments of $395.7 million principally due to improved performances from our fixed maturity, public equity and investments-related derivative portfolios.
Cash flows used in investing activities. During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, our cash flows used in investing activities were $2.3 billion, principally reflecting net purchases of short term investments, fixed maturity investments and other investments of $1.4 billion, $567.8 million and $130.5 million, respectively. The net purchase of short term investments was funded in part by the capital received from investors in Upsilon RFO and other net cash flows provided by operating activities. The net purchase of other investments during the nine months ended September 30, 2019, was primarily driven by an increased allocation to catastrophe bonds. In addition, we completed our acquisition of TMR on March 22, 2019, resulting in a net cash outflow of $276.2 million, comprised of cash consideration paid by RenaissanceRe as acquisition consideration of $813.6 million, net of cash acquired from TMR of $537.4 million. Refer to “Note 3. Acquisition of Tokio Millennium Re” in our “Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements” in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 for additional information related to the acquisition of TMR.
Cash flows provided by financing activities. Our cash flows provided by financing activities in the nine months ended September 30, 2019 were $833.0 million, and were principally the result of:
•net inflows of $516.0 million related to net third party redeemable noncontrolling interest share transactions in DaVinciRe, Medici and Vermeer;
•net inflows of $396.4 million associated with the April 2, 2019 issuance of $400.0 million of our 3.600% Senior Notes due April 15, 2029; partially offset by
•dividends paid on our common and preference shares of $44.5 million and $27.6 million, respectively.
Capital Resources
We monitor our capital adequacy on a regular basis and seek to adjust our capital according to the needs of our business. In particular, we require capital sufficient to meet or exceed the capital adequacy ratios established by rating agencies for maintenance of appropriate financial strength ratings, the capital adequacy tests performed by regulatory authorities and the capital requirements under our credit facilities.
98

We may seek to raise additional capital or return capital to our shareholders through common share repurchases and cash dividends (or a combination of such methods). In the normal course of our operations, we may from time to time evaluate additional share or debt issuances given prevailing market conditions and capital management strategies, including for our operating subsidiaries and joint ventures. In addition, as noted above, we enter into agreements with financial institutions to obtain letter of credit facilities for the benefit of our operating subsidiaries in their reinsurance and insurance business.
Our total shareholders’ equity attributable to RenaissanceRe and debt was as follows:

(1) RenaissanceRe owns a noncontrolling economic interest in its joint venture DaVinciRe. Because RenaissanceRe controls a majority of DaVinciRe’s outstanding voting rights, the consolidated financial statements of DaVinciRe are included in the consolidated financial statements of RenaissanceRe. However, RenaissanceRe does not guarantee or provide credit support for DaVinciRe and RenaissanceRe’s financial exposure to DaVinciRe is limited to its investment in DaVinciRe’s shares and counterparty credit risk arising from reinsurance transactions.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, our total shareholders’ equity attributable to RenaissanceRe and debt increased by $1.2 billion, to $8.5 billion.
Our shareholders’ equity attributable to RenaissanceRe increased $1.4 billion during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 principally as a result of:
•the sale of 6,325,000 common shares in an underwritten public offering and the concurrent sale of 451,807 common shares to State Farm, each at a price per share of $166.00, for total aggregate net proceeds of $1.1 billion;
•our comprehensive income available to RenaissanceRe of $565.2 million; partially offset by
•the redemption of all 5 million of our outstanding Series C 6.08% Preference Shares for $125.0 million plus accrued and unpaid dividends thereon;
•the repurchase of 406 thousand common shares in open market transactions at an aggregate cost of $62.6 million and an average price of $154.36 per common share; and
•$50.8 million and $23.6 million of dividends on our common and preference shares, respectively.
Our debt decreased $248.4 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 principally as a result of the repayment in full at maturity on March 15, 2020 of our 5.75% Senior Notes due 2020 of RenRe North America Holdings Inc. and RenaissanceRe Finance Inc. for the aggregate principal amount of $250.0 million, plus applicable accrued interest.

Debt and Credit Facilities” in our “Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements” in this Form 10-Q and “Note 9. Debt and Credit Facilities” in our “Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements” in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019. See “Note 10. Shareholders’ Equity” in our “Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements” in this Form 10-Q and “Note 12. Shareholders’ Equity” in our “Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements” in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 for additional information related to our common and preference shares.
Reserve for Claims and Claim Expenses
We believe the most significant accounting judgment made by management is our estimate of claims and claim expense reserves. Claims and claim expense reserves represent estimates, including actuarial and statistical projections at a given point in time, of the ultimate settlement and administration costs for unpaid claims and claim expenses arising from the insurance and reinsurance contracts we sell. Our actual net claims and claim expenses paid will differ, perhaps materially, from the estimates reflected in our financial statements, which may adversely impact our financial condition, liquidity and capital resources.
Refer to “Note 8. Reserve for Claims and Claim Expenses” in our “Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements” in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 for more information on the risks we insure and reinsure, the reserving techniques, assumptions and processes we follow to estimate our claims and claim expense reserves, prior year development of the reserve for claims and claim expenses, analysis of our incurred and paid claims development and claims duration information for each of our Property and Casualty and Specialty segments. In addition, refer to “Part II, Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, Summary of Critical Accounting Estimates, Claims and Claim Expense Reserves” in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 for more information on the reserving techniques, assumptions and processes we follow to estimate our claims and claim expense reserves, our current estimates versus our initial estimates of our claims reserves, and sensitivity analysis for each of our Property and Casualty and Specialty segments.

At September 30, 2020, we held investments totaling $20.3 billion, compared to $17.4 billion at December 31, 2019. In connection with the acquisition of TMR, we acquired total investments with a fair market value of $2.3 billion on March 22, 2019, the date of acquisition. Our investment guidelines stress preservation of capital, market liquidity, and diversification of risk. Notwithstanding the foregoing, our investments are subject to market-wide risks and fluctuations, as well as to risks inherent in particular securities. In addition to the information presented above and below, see “Note 3. Investments” and “Note 4. Fair Value Measurements” in our “Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements” for additional information regarding our investments and the fair value measurement of our investments, respectively.
As the reinsurance coverages we sell include substantial protection for damages resulting from natural and man-made catastrophes, as well as for potentially large casualty and specialty exposures, we expect from time to time to become liable for substantial claim payments on short notice. Accordingly, our investment portfolio as a whole is structured to seek to preserve capital and provide a high level of liquidity, which means that the large majority of our investment portfolio consists of highly rated fixed income securities, including U.S. treasuries, agencies, highly rated sovereign and supranational securities, high-grade corporate securities and mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities. We also have an allocation to publicly traded equities reflected on our consolidated balance sheet as equity investments trading and an allocation to other investments (including catastrophe bonds, private equity investments, senior secured bank loan funds and hedge funds).

Other Investments
The table below shows our portfolio of other investments:

|  | September 30, 2020 |  | December 31, 2019 |  | Change |
| (in thousands) |  |  |  |  |  |
| Catastrophe bonds | $ | 816,971 |  |  | $ | 781,641 |  |  | $ | 35,330 |  |
| Private equity investments | 274,810 |  |  | 271,047 |  |  | 3,763 |  |
| Senior secured bank loan funds | 20,933 |  |  | 22,598 |  |  | (1,665) |  |
| Hedge funds | 9,969 |  |  | 12,091 |  |  | (2,122) |  |
| Total other investments | $ | 1,122,683 |  |  | $ | 1,087,377 |  |  | $ | 35,306 |  |

We account for our other investments at fair value in accordance with FASB ASC Topic Financial Instruments. The fair value of certain of our fund investments, which principally include private equity funds, senior secured bank loan funds and hedge funds, is recorded on our consolidated balance sheet in other investments, and is generally established on the basis of the net valuation criteria established by the managers of such investments, if applicable. The net valuation criteria established by the managers of such investments is established in accordance with the governing documents of such investments. Many of our fund investments are subject to restrictions on redemptions and sales which are determined by the governing documents and limit our ability to liquidate these investments in the short term.
Some of our fund managers and fund administrators are unable to provide final fund valuations as of our current reporting date. We typically experience a reporting lag to receive a final net asset value report of one month for our hedge funds and senior secured bank loan funds and three months for private equity funds, although we have occasionally experienced delays of up to six months at year end, as the private equity funds typically complete their year-end audits before releasing their final net asset value statements.
In circumstances where there is a reporting lag between the current period end reporting date and the reporting date of the latest fund valuation, we estimate the fair value of these funds by starting with the prior month or quarter-end fund valuations, adjusting these valuations for actual capital calls, redemptions or distributions, and the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates, and then estimating the return for the current period. In circumstances in which we estimate the return for the current period, all information available to us is utilized. This principally includes using preliminary estimates reported to us by our fund managers, obtaining the valuation of underlying portfolio investments where such underlying investments are publicly traded and therefore have a readily observable price, using information that is available to us with respect to the underlying investments, reviewing various indices for similar investments or asset classes, and estimating returns based on the results of similar types of investments for which we have obtained reported results, or other valuation methods, where possible. Actual final fund valuations may differ, perhaps materially so, from our estimates and these differences are recorded in our consolidated statement of operations in the period in which they are reported to us as a change in estimate. Included in net realized and unrealized gains (losses) on investments for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 is a loss of $2.4 million (2019 - $5.5 million) representing the change in estimate during the period related to the difference between our estimated net realized and unrealized gains (losses) due to the lag in reporting discussed above and the actual amount as reported in the final net asset values provided by our fund managers.
Our estimate of the fair value of catastrophe bonds is based on quoted market prices, or when such prices are not available, by reference to broker or underwriter bid indications. See “Note 4. Fair Value Measurements” in our “Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements” for additional information regarding the fair value of measurement of our investments.
We have committed capital to private equity investments, other investments and investments in other ventures of $1.5 billion, of which $747.6 million has been contributed at September 30, 2020. Our remaining commitments to these investments at September 30, 2020 totaled $745.4 million. In the future, we may enter into additional commitments in respect of private equity investments or individual portfolio company investment opportunities.

Ratings
Financial strength ratings are important to the competitive position of reinsurance and insurance companies. We have received high long-term issuer credit and financial strength ratings from A.M. Best Company, Inc. (“A.M. Best”), S&P Global Ratings (“S&P”), Moody’s Investors Service (“Moody’s”) and Fitch Ratings Ltd. (“Fitch”), as applicable. These ratings represent independent opinions of an insurer’s financial strength, operating performance and ability to meet policyholder obligations, and are not an evaluation directed toward the protection of investors or a recommendation to buy, sell or hold any of our securities. Rating organizations continually review the financial positions of our principal operating subsidiaries and joint ventures and ratings may be revised or revoked by the agencies which issue them.
The ratings of our principal operating subsidiaries and joint ventures and the Enterprise Risk Management rating of RenaissanceRe as of October 23, 2020 are presented below.

(1) The A.M. Best ratings for our principal operating subsidiaries and joint ventures represent the insurer’s financial strength rating. The Lloyd’s Overall Market Rating represents Syndicate 1458’s financial strength rating. The A.M. Best rating for RenaissanceRe represents our Enterprise Risk Management (“ERM”) score
(2) The S&P ratings for our principal operating subsidiaries and joint ventures represent the insurer’s financial strength rating and the issuer’s long-term issuer credit rating. The Lloyd’s Overall Market Rating represents Syndicate 1458’s financial strength rating. The S&P rating for RenaissanceRe represents the rating on its ERM practices.
(3) The Moody’s ratings represent the insurer’s financial strength rating.
(4) The Fitch rating for Renaissance Reinsurance represents the insurer’s financial strength rating. The Lloyd’s Overall Market Rating represents Syndicate 1458’s financial strength rating.
As of October 23, 2020, there were no other material changes to our ratings as disclosed in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.
EFFECTS OF INFLATION
It is possible that the risk of general economic inflation has increased which could, among other things, cause claims and claim expenses to increase and also impact the performance of our investment portfolio. This risk may be exacerbated by the steps taken by governments throughout the world in responding to the COVID-19 pandemic. The actual effects of this potential increase in inflation on our results cannot be accurately known until, among other items, claims are ultimately settled. The onset, duration and severity of an inflationary period cannot be estimated with precision. We consider the anticipated effects of inflation on us in our catastrophe loss models. Our estimates of the potential effects of inflation are also considered in pricing and in estimating reserves for unpaid claims and claim expenses. The potential exists, after a catastrophe loss, for the development of inflationary pressures in a local economy.
103

OFF-BALANCE SHEET AND SPECIAL PURPOSE ENTITY ARRANGEMENTS
At September 30, 2020, we had not entered into any off-balance sheet arrangements, as defined in Item 303(a)(4) of Regulation S-K.
CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS
In the normal course of business, we are party to a variety of contractual obligations as summarized in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019. We consider these contractual obligations when assessing our liquidity requirements. As of September 30, 2020, there were no material changes in our contractual obligations as disclosed in the table of contractual obligations and related footnotes included in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.
CURRENT OUTLOOK
The COVID-19 Pandemic and General Economic Conditions
The global COVID-19 pandemic has had immense impacts on a global scale, including on the insurance and reinsurance industries, where it continues to contribute to an accelerating hard market across property, casualty and specialty lines. Notwithstanding our view of current opportunities available to RenaissanceRe, the COVID-19 pandemic has raised and continues to raise many new questions and challenges for us and our industry. It is not possible to predict precisely all of the potential impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on RenaissanceRe, or their respective potential timing. Estimating the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic remains complicated and challenging, and its ultimate impact and the extent of losses is highly unpredictable and uncertain at this time. Among the uncertainties that render such estimation unusually challenging are the unknown length and severity of the COVID-19 pandemic, the unknown duration and depth of the economic recession, and the extent and duration of society’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic and economic downturn. From governments’ unprecedented imposition of constraints on economic and social activity, to longer term changes in societal behaviors that may result from people’s reactions to the COVID-19 pandemic, we believe that the COVID-19 pandemic could change demand for (re)insurance products going forward, potentially having significant impacts on the industry. We continue to expect insured losses to emerge over time as primary insurance claims are handled and public sector initiatives develop, and as the full impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and its effects on the global economy are realized. We are closely monitoring COVID-19-related developments, including potential government actions which may impact the insurance and reinsurance sectors.
We expect that stress in the global economy will continue, possibly with a deep recession and severe unemployment, but we are unable to predict the ultimate duration and severity of the economic downturn. We continue to expect increased market volatility as well, impacting the costs of capital formation, business and investment planning, and mark-to-market results from period to period. Given that the demand for insurance is significantly influenced by prevailing economic conditions, continued declining and weak global economic conditions may lead to a suppression of demand for insurance and reinsurance generally, although we believe there will be opportunities for the business we write, including in the remainder of 2020. In addition, this pressure may inordinately affect smaller competitors in the primary insurance, reinsurance and retrocessional markets. In turn, these pressures may lead, among other things, to increased consolidation as larger, better capitalized competitors will be in a stronger position to withstand prolonged periods of economic downturn and sustain their business through the financial volatility. In the current environment, capital and liquidity are extremely important, and we believe our capital and liquidity positions are strong. In furtherance of our strategic plan, in the second quarter of 2020 we raised over $1 billion of new common equity to support our pursuit of successfully executing on future opportunities.
We currently believe that current economic conditions have, and will likely continue to, heighten our counterparty credit risk due to the strain that the COVID-19 pandemic is putting on potentially all companies, including our own customers, agents, brokers, retrocessionaires, and capital providers. If there is a sustained economic downturn resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic, these effects could be magnified or could manifest themselves in ways that we cannot currently predict. We have been closely monitoring the economic impact of COVID-19-related shutdowns and the development of forbearance measures on, among other things, our mortgage book and other aspects of our portfolio. Economic disruption and changing market dynamics may also lead to significant changes and mismatches in the market as different insurance products compete for similar coverages. While we believe that we are well positioned to continue
104

to execute on our strategic plan and compete for and meet the demand for the protection that we provide, it is difficult to predict all of the potential impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on the markets in which we participate and our ability to effectively respond to these changing market dynamics.
More broadly, steps taken by governments throughout the world in responding to the COVID-19 pandemic, including the reduction of interest rates in certain jurisdictions in the U.S., could lead to higher inflation over time than we had anticipated, leading to higher costs of claims and claim expenses and the need to increase our reserves. The effects of this trend could be magnified for longer-tail business lines that are more inflation sensitive, particularly our casualty business. At this time, we expect that the low interest rate environment will continue, and that these actions and other dynamics are likely to reduce broadly available realized economic returns on investments.
In addition, market conditions have adversely impacted, and may adversely affect, our investment portfolio in the future. Over the longer term, as the COVID-19 pandemic continues and continues to create volatility in the financial markets, we expect that it is likely that the strain on financial markets will increase. In the near term, it is possible that adverse metrics in respect of the pandemic and the potential for uncertainty in respect of the presidential election in the U.S. will also contribute to volatility in the financial markets. In addition, access to public capital markets and private, third-party capital may become unavailable or constrained, or more expensive than in recent periods, or contain more onerous terms and conditions. Notwithstanding the many uncertainties and challenges that lie ahead, we believe that our track record of responding to industry events, differentiated risk management and client service capabilities, and access to diverse sources of both capital and risk position us favorably in the current environment.
While much of the positive performance in our investment portfolio in the first three quarters of 2020 reflected mark-to-market gains, we expect that it is highly likely that we will realize losses in certain individual positions in our investment portfolio in future periods, particularly in our equity investments trading portfolio and in lower rated corporate credit, as a result of the economic changes from the COVID-19 pandemic. These losses could be significant in respect of a particular financial period, or otherwise. Our ability to derive investment income from our investments may also become more difficult as economic sluggishness, or market volatility, continues. The sustained environment of low interest rates in recent years lowered the yields at which we invest our assets relative to longer-term historical levels. In 2019 and the first three quarters of 2020, decreases in prevailing interest rates contributed significantly to comparably high net realized and unrealized gains from our invested assets. However, as we invest cash from new premiums written or reinvest the proceeds of invested assets, we expect the yield on our portfolio to be adversely impacted by the anticipated period of low interest rates and broader economic uncertainty.
Operationally, as an international company with offices around the globe, the COVID-19 pandemic and restrictions related thereto have presented certain challenges. However, we believe we have adjusted well to date to the work paradigms required by the COVID-19 pandemic, benefiting from prior and enhanced investments in technology, systems and training, which have enabled us to maintain robust oversight of the company. As appropriate, certain of our offices have opened on an optional and limited basis in accordance with applicable rules and regulations in their respective jurisdictions. However, an extended period of remote work arrangements could strain our business continuity plans, introduce additive operational risk, including but not limited to cybersecurity risks such as ransomware attacks, and adversely affect our ability to manage our business.
Reinsurance Market Trends and Developments
Even before the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, rates were rising across most lines of business. We continue to believe that the COVID-19 pandemic is accelerating the recent rate increases we have seen in many of the lines of business that we write. This has been exacerbated by the natural catastrophe activity in the second half of 2020 to date, which has accelerated the demand for reinsurance and which continues to outpace supply. As an organization, we believe these market conditions have created significant opportunities in the lines of business that we write, and that we are well positioned to deploy capital and grow in this environment given our market leadership and long-term relationships with brokers and customers. Our current expectation is that we will seek to deploy the proceeds from our recent equity offerings into the 2021 market beginning with the January 1 renewal period for general corporate purposes, which may include expanding our existing business lines, entering new business lines, forming new joint ventures, or acquiring books of business from other companies. This capital may be deployed from our holding company to our regulated operating subsidiaries or our joint ventures, and once contributed, our
105

ability to reallocate such capital may be constrained by regulators or, for our joint ventures, the terms and conditions of our shareholder agreements.
The market has also been impacted by a tightened supply of capital. Among other things, capital in the insurance-linked securities market, which we estimated had already declined to a degree over recent periods, has been further impacted by recent developments, further reducing supply, particularly in respect of certain regions and perils. For example, we believe that the existing and potential impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, along with the high incidence of natural catastrophes in 2020, has contributed to a significant amount of trapped collateral in the insurance-linked securities market. We currently anticipate that this may exacerbate the decline in capital invested in the insurance-linked securities market overall. We believe that this trend magnifies market appreciation of the structural differences between collateralized coverage and traditional reinsurance, and that cedants may increasingly prefer in the near term the certainty of rated balance sheets, providing us with additional opportunities in the lines of business that we write, and putting additional upward pressure on reinsurance rates.
In addition, partly as a result of expected reductions in the availability of retrocessional capacity from third-party investors as third-party capital becomes less abundant, we expect that the trend of increasing rates for retrocessional coverage may accelerate. Accordingly, this trend may affect the amount of such protection we purchase in the future. However, consistent with our strategy of retaining more risk when prices are rising, we expect to manage any potential reductions in the availability of retrocessional reinsurance. We expect that we may also see additional opportunities to be a provider of retrocessional reinsurance as rates increase. This may provide another opportunity for us to profitably deploy available capital, while retaining more net risk on our balance sheet.
Another factor that may contribute to rising rates is that we anticipate reinsurers may be less inclined to write certain classes of business in which we participate that are most impacted by social inflation trends, the risks of climate change, regional or market segment weakness, or other factors, without proper pricing adjustments if other, less risky, opportunities to deploy capital are available to them. Certain classes of business, like Florida homeowners’ coverage and certain forms of casualty coverage, may be impacted by more than one of these factors. Our assessment of these changes in risk exposure will impact our appetite to renew or pursue business we perceive to be adversely impacted, either absolutely or relative to other market opportunities. In particular with regards to our assessment of risks related to climate change, we believe that our proprietary climate-change informed catastrophe models and approach set us apart from many other underwriters or insurance-linked securities managers who often rely on a single vendor model that we believe does not fully capture the impact of climate change.
Property Exposed Market Developments
While the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic may be the most significant driver of market dynamics in the near-term, there are other recent trends that have impacted property exposed markets. Prior to the emergence of the COVID-19 pandemic, property exposed markets were already experiencing constrained supply and elevated demand, resulting in upward pressure on rates. We estimate that the insurance and reinsurance markets experienced some of the largest back-to-back years for insured natural disaster losses in history from 2017 to 2019 from multiple hurricanes, typhoons, wildfires and earthquakes. The associated losses over this period affected an unusually large number of regions, insureds, reinsurance lines and reinsurers. In addition, the ultimate scale of the losses, difficulty of loss estimation, length of payout periods, social inflation risk and other factors have contributed to uncertainty around these loss events and the market has been impacted by continuing, significant adverse developments from these events. In particular, we estimate that the industry’s reported adverse developments on Typhoon Jebi and on Hurricane Irma would each represent, by themselves, historically large insured loss events. Moreover, to date the 2020 Atlantic storm season has had a record-setting level of storm activity, with an unusual number of named storms forming thus far. The Western portion of the United States has also been impacted by an unprecedented level of wildfire activity. We believe that climate change contributes to making extreme events both more frequent and more severe, and we believe that this level of catastrophe event activity is a result of this trend.
We believe that revised views of risk as a result of these experiences and the potential reduction of capacity or risk appetite from the insurance-linked securities market, have contributed favorably to market conditions, although there can be no assurance that these developments will continue or be sustained. Based on our experience, intermediary reports and other industry commentary, in respect of the January and June 2020
106

renewals, rates for retrocessional reinsurance and some lines of primary insurance were up substantially, while rates on other layers of reinsurance, if loss free in expiring periods, were up less markedly. Loss affected reinsurance programs and lines, such as treaties exposed to the California wildfires, showed more substantially improved terms. In respect of the April 2020 renewal, which includes our Japanese property catastrophe business, the industry saw significant rate improvements in certain lines, such as wind risk, while earthquake-only risk remained flat, but at attractive levels. This momentum continued through the June and July 1 renewals. With respect to the COVID-19 pandemic, we have been generally able to obtain COVID-19 pandemic exclusions on many of the new deals that we wrote, and only wrote deals without such exclusion that met certain specific criteria.
These developments facilitated our growth in gross premiums written, both in our existing operations and by presenting opportunities to deploy additional third-party capital. Nonetheless, in respect of certain regions and perils we continue to assess that prevailing rate increases were not sufficient to offset increases in exposure, continuing risks from social inflation and the potential for sustained elevation in exposure due to changes in climate conditions and demographics. For example, we continue to carefully monitor ongoing, adverse trends in the Florida market with respect to claims practices, litigation risks, and exposure growth, and are prepared to continue to reduce our exposure to risks and accounts exposed to these trends. Additionally, in 2020, for the first time in several years, the Florida Hurricane Catastrophe Fund did not purchase private reinsurance, citing rising rates as a deciding factor. While we believe we are well positioned to compete for business we find attractive, a number of dynamics may limit the degree to which the market sustains favorable improvements in the near-term or continue to introduce or exacerbate long-term challenges in our markets.
Casualty and Specialty Exposed Market Developments
Certain of the markets in which our Casualty and Specialty segment operate experienced generally favorable rate trends in respect of the January 2020 renewals. We have found increasing opportunities to write additional or new business in this segment, contributing to meaningful economic growth in our gross written business, especially when adjusting for the re-underwriting of the portfolio we purchased from TMR. In general, we have seen meaningful improvements in terms and conditions, including broad-based reductions in ceding commissions, from 2019 and into 2020 to date. In particular, across that period we have observed favorable conditions for accounts that exhibited elevated loss emergence or underlying rate deterioration, but we also estimate that the favorable market trends have extended more broadly. In the near term, we continue to expect that the COVID-19 pandemic will put further pressure on rates and that current pricing trends are likely to continue, with terms and conditions for loss-affected lines of business continuing to show particular improvement and certain other areas of the casualty and specialty market potentially maintaining less pronounced but positive adjustments.
At the same time, we also estimate that underlying loss costs for many casualty and specialty lines of business will continue to rise, while the costs of capital increases and opportunities for investment income decrease. The casualty and specialty markets have continued to broadly exhibit adverse loss development and negative exposure trends, including a meaningful increase in both the incidence and severity of civil jury awards and other social inflation trends.
We plan to continue to seek unique or differentiated opportunities to provide coverage on large programs open to us on a differentiated basis or to select markets. However, we cannot assure you that positive market trends will continue, that we will succeed in identifying and expanding on attractive programs or obtain potentially attractive new programs, or that future, currently unforeseen, developments will not adversely impact the casualty and specialty markets.
Relatedly, specific renewal terms vary widely by insured account and our ability to shape our portfolio to improve its estimated risk and return characteristics is subject to a range of competitive and commercial factors. We cannot assure you that these positive dynamics will be sustained, or that we will participate fully in improving terms. We intend to seek to maintain strong underwriting discipline and, in light of prevailing market conditions, cannot provide assurance that we will succeed in growing or maintaining our current combined in-force book of business.
Legislative and Regulatory Update
As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, we are seeing many legislative and regulatory initiatives that, if enacted, could have a significant adverse effect on our business and results of operations. Legislative,
107

regulatory, judicial or social influences may seek to impose new obligations on (re)insurers in connection with the COVID-19 pandemic that extend coverage beyond the intended contractual obligations or result in an increase in the frequency or severity of claims beyond expected levels, thereby resulting in unexpected or modeled insurance or reinsurance losses. Certain governments and regulatory bodies are also considering proposals that would retroactively change the terms of existing insurance contracts that generally exclude business interruption losses from pandemics. Litigation in the U.S. is still in the early stages and, accordingly we continue to expect uncertainty regarding coverage for these types of claims and that the outcome may differ by jurisdiction. Internationally, there have also been legal challenges concerning business interruption coverage, including the U.K. Financial Conduct Authority’s business interruption “test case.” Further, a number of legislative proposals have been introduced or proposed to alter the financing of pandemic-related risk in several of the markets in which we operate, and the impact of these and other proposals on our business is uncertain at this time. For example, at the federal level, following the initial onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, Congress considered legislation that would have retroactively forced insurers to cover pandemic claims in business interruption policies even if specifically excluded. These bills have currently been withdrawn, although we cannot assure you that they or similar legislation will not be re-introduced in the future. At the state level in the U.S., at least eight states and the District of Columbia have considered legislation to require retroactive business interruption coverage, and while none have yet passed legislation, we expect that any such legislation will be challenged in court should it become law, however, any legal action challenging such legislation could take years to resolve and there can be no assurance that the outcomes would be favorable. Moreover, a number of stakeholder groups have advocated that, regardless of the passage of any such legislation, primary insurers voluntarily pay business interruption claims, even if excluded. While we are prepared to engage constructively with our cedants in respect of any such developments, we are also committed to enforcing our own contractual and legal rights, and the outcome of any of these developments is challenging to currently assess.
Congress is also considering several proposals which, if enacted, would impact the financing of future pandemic exposure and, accordingly, related markets for insurance, reinsurance and other financial products. For example, one such proposal would establish a Pandemic Risk Insurance Act, which would establish a public-private partnership with insurers retaining 5% of the risk of a future pandemic and the federal government assuming the remainder of the risk, with businesses charged an “actuarial premium.” Another proposal would create a standing, multi-billion-dollar fund which the federal government would use to pay businesses directly for pandemic losses, rather than through an insurance product.
It is also possible that the economic uncertainty resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic could cause some governments, including cities, counties, states, and national governments, to look at risk transfer as a means to create budgeting certainty. These initiatives could create public entity risk transfer opportunities in the U.S. and globally. We have been a leader in several iterations of innovative governmental risk transfer initiatives, at the U.S. federal and state level, and in a number of other jurisdictions, across a range of perils. We believe we are well positioned to collaborate on, and participate in, any such new initiatives. However, given the early stages of these proposals, it is difficult to predict at this time the impact they may have on our business in the future, and we cannot assure you that we would succeed in participating, or that the terms of any such facilities would be attractive.
Across the world, many governments have reacted to COVID-19 pandemic by proposing or enacting stimulus measures which incorporate a variety of strategies, including certain tax relief measures and incentives. In general, we do not expect to participate in, or benefit from, any such initiatives. Accordingly, at this time, we do not anticipate any tax law changes or incentives in the jurisdictions where we operate will have a beneficial impact on our results of operations or financial position. Over time, it is possible that many jurisdictions in which we operate, or markets where we provide coverages or services, may consider changes to their tax and revenue systems in light of the unprecedented stimulus, borrowing, and fiscal measures undertaken recently and which may yet be enacted as the COVID-19 pandemic and its impacts continue. It is possible that such measures could increase tax burdens on companies operating in such jurisdictions, or operating multilaterally, or which transact in or with respect to such jurisdictions. At this time, we cannot anticipate or estimate the costs of any such future initiatives.
In prior Congressional sessions, Congress has considered a range of potential legislation which would, if enacted, provide for matters such as the creation of (i) a federal reinsurance catastrophe fund; (ii) a federal consortium to facilitate qualifying state residual markets and catastrophe funds in securing reinsurance; and (iii) a federal bond guarantee program for state catastrophe funds in qualifying state residual markets. In
108

April 2016, H.R.4947, the Natural Disaster Reinsurance Act of 2016, which would create a federal reinsurance program to cover any losses insured or reinsured by eligible state programs arising from natural catastrophes, including losses from floods, earthquakes, tropical storms, tornadoes, volcanic eruption and winter storms, was introduced. If enacted, this bill, or legislation, similar to any of these proposals, would, we believe, likely contribute to the growth of state entities offering below-market priced insurance and reinsurance in a manner adverse to us and market participants more generally. Such legislation could also encourage cessation, or even reversal, of reforms and stabilization initiatives that have been enacted in the state of Florida and other catastrophe-exposed states in recent years. While we believe such legislation will continue to be vigorously opposed, if adopted these bills would likely diminish the role of private market catastrophe reinsurers and could adversely impact our financial results, perhaps materially.
In May 2020, the Federal Housing Finance Administration, the regulator and conservator of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, issued a proposed capital rule that would significantly reduce the value of credit risk transfer to government sponsored entities (“GSEs”), reinsurers and other capital market participants if enacted. The proposal includes a series of “haircuts” to the GSEs’ credit for risk transfer, meaning they would be expected to require a larger capital reserve even after transferring risk off their balance sheets. Accordingly, this could adversely impact the attractiveness to the GSE’s of investing in private financial protection, including reinsurance, which have been a source of private market demand growth in our sector over recent periods. We cannot assess with precision the probability these changes will be enacted or their exact impact on the markets in which we participate if they are.
In June 2012, Congress passed the Biggert-Waters Bill, which provided for a five-year renewal of the National Flood Insurance Program (the “NFIP”) and, among other things, authorized the Federal Emergency Management Agency (“FEMA”) to carry out initiatives to determine the capacity of private insurers, reinsurers, and financial markets to assume a greater portion of the flood risk exposure in the U.S., and to assess the capacity of the private reinsurance market to assume some of the program’s risk. Commencing in January 2017, FEMA has, acting under authority contemplated by the Biggert-Waters Bill, secured annual reinsurance protection for the NFIP. Most recently, in January 2020, FEMA announced that it had renewed its reinsurance program to provide for $1.33 billion of protection in respect of 2020, covering 10.25% of NFIP’s losses between $4 billion and $6 billion, 34.7% of its losses between $6 billion and $8 billion, and 21.8% of its losses between $8 billion and $10 billion. In addition, NFIP has procured an additional $500 million of private market protection via the FloodSmart Re $500 million Series 2018-1 Notes. It is possible this program will continue and potentially expand in future periods and may encourage other U.S. federal programs to explore private market risk transfer initiatives; however, we cannot assure you that any such developments will in fact occur, or that if they do transpire we will succeed in participating.
The statutory authorization for the operation and continuation of the NFIP has expired and received a series of short-term extensions. The NFIP’s current authorization has now most recently been extended to September 30, 2021. In January 2019, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. and Office of the Comptroller of the Currency issued rules requiring lenders to accept private flood insurance policies that have coverage at least as comprehensive as that offered by NFIP, and providing a framework to evaluate alternative flood coverage; these rules went into effect on July 1, 2019. Congress is also considering legislative language that would direct FEMA to consider policyholders who discontinue an NFIP policy and then later return to the NFIP as having continuous coverage if they can demonstrate that a flood insurance policy from a private firm was maintained throughout the interim period. To the extent these laws, rules and regulations are adopted and enforced, they could incrementally contribute to the growth of private residential flood opportunities and the financial stabilization of the NFIP. However, we cannot assure you that legislation to reform the NFIP will indeed be enacted or that the private market for residential flood protection will be enhanced if it is.
In recent years, market conditions for insurance in the state of Florida have been significantly impacted by the increasingly prevalent utilization of a practice referred to as “assignment of benefits,” or “AOB.” We currently estimate that the impacts of AOB have contributed adversely and significantly to the ultimate economic losses borne by the insurance market in light of recent large Florida loss events, including Hurricanes Irma and Michael. An AOB is an instrument executed by a primary policyholder that is deemed to permit certain third parties, such as water extraction companies, roofers or plumbers, to “stand in the shoes” of the insured and seek direct payments from the policyholder’s insurance company.
109

In April 2019, SB 122: The Insurance Assignment Agreements Act (the “AOB Reform Bill”) became law in Florida, effective July 1, 2019. While we are cautiously optimistic that this law could somewhat mitigate, in respect of losses subsequent to July 2019, some of the more egregious practices that have contributed to adverse industry results in Florida, we continue to believe that the likely estimated impact to exposed loss in reinsurance treaties and programs will not be material. In addition, the AOB Reform Bill is not intended to remediate the adverse impacts of earlier events, such as the large losses in 2017 and 2018, which continue to exhibit loss development well beyond modeled expectations. In general, we continue to estimate that the dynamics and practices we refer to as “social inflation” will continue to adversely impact loss trends in Florida. Moreover, reforms of social inflation trends in Florida or other jurisdictions do not impact the increased risks attributable to changes in climate, demographics and other factors which we estimate are increasing the probability and severity of meteorologically-driven hazards.
Further, in February 2020, legislation was introduced in the Florida Senate, Bill No. SB 1334, which would, if ultimately adopted, significantly expand the Florida Hurricane Catastrophe Fund for a statutory period of several years. While the bill did not attain passage in this year’s session, it could be revisited in a future scheduled or special legislation session. In sum, taken together, these ongoing challenges have impacted our own risk selection criteria with respect to Florida exposures.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
We are principally exposed to four types of market risk: interest rate risk; foreign currency risk; credit risk; and equity price risk. Our investment guidelines permit, subject to approval, investments in derivative instruments such as futures, options, foreign currency forward contracts and swap agreements, which may be used to assume risks or for hedging purposes.
There were no material changes to these market risks, as disclosed in “Part II, Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk” in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, during the nine months ended September 30, 2020, except as described below. See “Part II, Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk,” in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 for a discussion of our exposure to these risks.
Due to the ongoing and rapidly evolving nature of the COVID-19 pandemic, a longer or more severe recession may increase the probability of credit losses in the Company’s investment portfolio. Volatility in global financial markets, together with low or negative interest rates, reduced liquidity and a continued slowdown in global economic conditions, have adversely affected, and may continue to adversely affect, the Company’s investment portfolio. Additionally, we are exposed to counterparty credit risk, including with respect to reinsurance brokers, customers and retrocessionaires, which may materially increase to the extent the COVID-19 pandemic affects our ability to collect premiums receivable or reinsurance recoverables.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we have evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(b) and 15d-15(b) of the Exchange Act, as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon that evaluation, our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, concluded that, at September 30, 2020, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in Company reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC rules and forms and (ii) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended September 30, 2020, which were identified in connection with our evaluation required pursuant to Rules 13a-15 or 15d-15 under the Exchange Act, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS
Our share repurchase program may be effected from time to time, depending on market conditions and other factors, through open market purchases and privately negotiated transactions. On November 10, 2017, our Board of Directors approved a renewal of our authorized share repurchase program to an aggregate amount of up to $500.0 million. Unless terminated earlier by our Board of Directors, the program will expire when we have repurchased the full value of the shares authorized. The table below details the repurchases that were made under the program during the third quarter of 2020, and also includes other shares purchased, which represents common shares surrendered by employees in respect of withholding tax obligations on the vesting of restricted stock, or in lieu of cash payments for the exercise price of employee stock options.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company repurchased 406 thousand common shares in open market transactions at an aggregate cost of $62.6 million and an average price of $154.36 per common share. Given the economic environment and to preserve capital for both risk and opportunity, the Company suspended share repurchases in March 2020. The Company did not engage in any share repurchase activity during the second and third quarters of 2020. At September 30, 2020, $437.4 million remained available for repurchase under the share repurchase program. In the near term, the Company intends to prioritize capital for deployment into its business; however, we may resume repurchases at any time when we believe it is prudent to do so and without further notice.
