Significant events
- “In August 2021, the Group was acquired by Arch Reinsurance Ltd ("Arch Re"), a subsidiary of Arch Capital Group Ltd, an American, Bermuda based insurance and reinsurance group. The acquisition provides security to the Group's underwriting capacity into the future and provides a robust financial foundation, to provide an enhanced proposition to our customers, stakeholders and third-party partners.”
- “Following the acquisition, in 2021, the Group received a Capital Contribution of £11.7m from its immediate parent entity. Further capital injections of £49.5m have been received in 2022 and 2023.”
- “In 2024 SBISL achieved turnover of £150.4m (2023: £85.4m) and operating profit of £69.0m (2023: £34.2m). The growth in turnover was the result of increased policy volumes and a higher average income per policy.”
