Connect Underwriting announces launch of Pixel Re

Specialist reinsurance MGA Connect Underwriting Limited has announced the availability of new capacity through Pixel Re, a newly launched, dedicated monoline reinsurance vehicle for global property and downstream energy risks.

Effective immediately, Pixel Re will provide facultative reinsurance for large multinational risks on an excess of loss basis with Lloyd’s and London market-sourced capacity, Connect Underwriting said.

Pixel Re is for attachment points of typically $500 million and above, and aims to answer growing demand for high-quality capacity for larger line sizes as inflationary pressures affect insureds’ assets.
