Resolution Life Raises a Further $1.6 Billion of Capital to Support Growth


Resolution Life, a long-term manager of legacy life insurance portfolios, has completed its recent round of capital raising, adding a further c.$1.6 billion. It has now secured commitments of approximately $5 billion since its launch in September 2018. Resolution Life's investors are leading financial institutions, insurance companies, pension plans, sovereign wealth funds and family offices.

In the past 12 months, Resolution Life has completed the acquisitions of AMP Life in Australasia for AUD$3 billion and Voya Financial, Inc.'s, US$1.25 billion individual life in-force business in the US. Combined with the Group's Bermuda reinsurance base, Resolution Life now manages c.$60 billion of assets, employs c.1,500 people and provides services to approximately 2.5 million policyholders.

The new capital raised will continue to be deployed in line with Resolution Life's mission as a specialist consolidator of in-force life insurance, either through acquisition of companies or reinsurance. With its global platforms now established, Resolution Life is well placed for further growth, especially since Covid-19 has accelerated the trend of international life insurance groups looking to divest legacy insurance portfolios and release capital.

Resolution Life and prior vehicles founded by Clive Cowdery under the Resolution brand have pioneered the consolidation of life insurance assets since 2003 and have deployed $16 billion of equity across multiple transactions.

Sir Clive Cowdery, Resolution Founder and Executive Chairman of Resolution Life, commented:

"Resolution Life provides global insurance companies with a specialist partner to help them release capital while honouring the long-term commitments made to policyholders. Our scale, extensive transactional and operating expertise and our strong capital backing from high-quality investors provides insurers, regulators and policyholders with the confidence and certainty they require."
