Financial terms of the transaction, which was originally signed in November last year, were not disclosed.
Earlier, Monument Re Group CEO Manfred Maske said: “This acquisition marks our second transaction in Belgium and is an excellent bolt-on portfolio for Monument Assurance Belgium.
“As part of our insurance strategy, we view Belgium as a key life consolidation market for Monument Re and anticipate increasing levels of transaction activity, especially in medium-sized portfolios requiring capital solutions.”
Formerly “Nationale Suisse Belgium”, Alpha Insurance is a Belgian composite insurance company and operates as a wholly- owned subsidiary of Enstar Group.
Monument Assurance Belgium is part of the Bermudian reinsurer Monument Re Group. It operates as a closed book consolidator of life portfolios in Belgium under the supervision of the NBB.
