RiverStone Acquires Its First Vermont Captive

RiverStone, the US insurance runoff specialist of the Fairfax insurance group, is pleased to announce the acquisition of Western Property & Casualty Insurance Company (Western P&C), effective August 31, 2022. 

Western P&C was formed in Vermont to support a group of companies (which included companies engaged in energy production) as to its automobile liability, general liability, and workers compensation exposures, on a deductible reimbursement basis.

The shareholders of Western P&C will enter into a stock purchase agreement with Fairfax. The Vermont Department of Financial Regulation has approved the acquisition.

Matt Kunish, chief business development officer, RiverStone, said, "I am pleased to announce RiverStone's first venture into the Vermont captive community. This is an exciting step for RiverStone as we look to take advantage of the various opportunities the Vermont captive market has to offer."
