Marco returns to R&Q with acquisition

Marco Capital Holdings has acquired R&Q Gamma, formerly The Royal London General Insurance Company.

R&Q Gamma was established in 1983 and put into run-off — when an insurance company ceases to write new business but still has existing liabilities and claims which need to be managed and paid out — in 1999. R&Q Insurance Holdings bought R&Q Gamma in 2016 to act as a consolidation vehicle for run-off opportunities in the UK. 

Over the following four years, R&Q Gamma transacted loss portfolio transfers with the Solicitors Indemnity Mutual Insurance Association, Anglo French Insurance Company and UK P&I Club. R&Q Gamma’s outstanding liabilities predominantly relate to the UK P&I Club and comprise occupational disease/workers’ compensation liabilities relating to workers on ships and in ports.

Simon Minshall, Marco CEO, said: “This is now the third time Marco has provided assistance in stabilising and securing R&Q policyholders’ interests, following the acquisition of Inceptum, an R&Q subsidiary in run-off, and management of R&Q Syndicate 1110 by Polo Managing Agency in 2024.”
