“We are delighted he has chosen to join at this time of tremendous growth in the legacy market,” said Minshall, whose camp entered the European run-off market in August.

With a committed initial equity capital of €500 million (around £453.6 million) plus ancillary own funds, Marco is pursuing P&C run-off opportunities in or emanating from the UK, Lloyd’s, and Continental Europe. Its new CFO will be based in London.
