In August 2019, DARAG had signed a new portfolio transfer pact with Germany-based re/insurer major SCHWARZMEER UND OSTSEE Versicherungsaktiengesellschaft (SOVAG).

As per the terms of the agreement, the legacy portfolio comprising direct insurance and inwards reinsurance business would be transferred to DARAG’s German risk carrier, DARAG Deutsche Versicherungs- und Ruckversicherungs.

Prior to that, DARAG Group had finalised its acquisition of The Underwriter Insurance Company as part of its strategy to further strengthen its operations in the UK.

The Underwriter, which is currently under run-off, offered cover for commercial liability risks through insurance intermediaries between 1998 and 2003.

DARAG specialises in the assumption of discontinued business and the provision of capital relief solutions. The Group claims to have completed 33 run-off transactions in 18 countries with a value in excess of €1.1bn.
