Summary of Derivative Instruments [Abstract] |
DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS | 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, or for trading and to assume or hedge 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. 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 March 31, 2025. 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:

(2)Contracts used to manage foreign currency risks in underwriting and non-investment operations. (3)Contracts used to manage foreign currency risks in investment operations. (4)Equity related derivatives included in net realized and unrealized gains (losses) on investment-related derivatives. See “Note 3. Investments” for additional information. (5)Contracts designated as hedges of net investments in a foreign operation. Derivative Instruments Not Designated as Hedges Interest Rate Derivatives The Company uses interest rate futures 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 March 31, 2025, the Company had $6.1 billion of notional long positions and $3.2 billion of notional short positions of primarily U.S. treasury and non-U.S. government bond futures contracts (December 31, 2024 - $7.1 billion and $3.1 billion, respectively). Foreign Currency Derivatives The Company’s functional currency is the U.S. dollar. 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. The impact of changes in exchange rates on the Company’s assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar, excluding 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 Company may determine not to match a portion of its projected underwriting related assets or liabilities with underlying foreign currency exposure with investments in the same currencies, which would increase its exposure to foreign currency fluctuations and potentially increase the impact and volatility of foreign exchange gains and losses on its results of 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 March 31, 2025, the Company had outstanding underwriting related foreign currency contracts of $587.5 million in notional long positions and $233.4 million in notional short positions, denominated in U.S. dollars (December 31, 2024 - $1.0 billion and $508.8 million, 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 March 31, 2025, the Company had outstanding investment portfolio related foreign currency contracts of $360.9 million in notional long positions and $109.0 million in notional short positions, denominated in U.S. dollars (December 31, 2024 - $345.0 million and $107.0 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 manage 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 manage 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 March 31, 2025, the Company had outstanding credit default swaps of $1.3 billion in notional positions to protect the investment portfolio against increasing credit risk, denominated in U.S. dollars (December 31, 2024 - $1.4 billion). Equity Derivatives Equity Futures From time to time, the Company uses equity derivatives in its investment portfolio 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 March 31, 2025, the Company had $885.3 million of notional long positions of equity futures (December 31, 2024 - $437.2 million). Commodity Derivatives The Company uses commodity derivatives within its investments portfolio to assume or hedge risk. Commodity derivatives expose the Company to potentially unfavorable price changes to the underlying commodities. Commodity Futures The fair value of the Company’s commodity futures is determined using market-based prices from pricing vendors. At March 31, 2025, the Company had $863.8 million of notional long positions of commodity futures, including gold futures, denominated in U.S. dollars (December 31, 2024 - $684.3 million). Commodity Options The fair value of these derivatives is determined using market-based prices from pricing vendors. At March 31, 2025, the Company had $Nil of notional long positions of exchange traded commodity option contracts (December 31, 2024 - $0.5 million). The notional amounts for options are based on the fair value of the underlying commodities as if the options were exercised at the reporting date. Derivative Instruments Designated as Hedges of Net Investments in Foreign Operations Foreign Currency Derivatives Hedges of Net Investments in Foreign Operations One of the Company’s subsidiaries currently uses a non-U.S. dollar functional currency. The Company, from time to time, enters into foreign exchange forwards to hedge non-U.S. dollar functional currencies, on an after-tax basis, from changes in the exchange rate between the U.S. dollar and these currencies. As of March 31, 2025 and 2024, this included the Australian dollar net investment in a foreign operation. These foreign exchange forward contracts were formally designated as hedges of its investment in subsidiaries with non-U.S. dollar functional currencies and there was no ineffectiveness in these transactions. The table below provides a summary of derivative instruments designated as hedges of net investments in a foreign operation, including the weighted average U.S. dollar equivalent of foreign denominated net assets (liabilities) that were hedged and the resulting derivative gains (losses) that are recorded in foreign currency translation adjustments, net of tax, within accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) on the Company’s consolidated statements of changes in shareholders’ equity:
