Variable and voting interest entities
9. Variable and voting interest entities
The Company consolidates the results of operations and financial position of every voting interest entity ("VOE") in which it has a controlling financial interest and variable interest entities (“VIE”) in which it is considered to be the primary beneficiary in accordance with guidance in ASC 810, Consolidation. The consolidation assessment, including the determination as to whether an entity qualifies as a VOE or VIE, depends on the facts and circumstances surrounding each entity.
Consolidated variable interest entities
Alstead Re
Alstead Reinsurance Ltd. (“Alstead Re”) is considered a VIE and the Company has concluded that it is the primary beneficiary of Alstead Re because the Company can exercise control over the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of Alstead Re. As a result, the Company has consolidated the results of Alstead Re in its consolidated financial statements. As of September 30, 2026, Alstead Re’s assets and liabilities included in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets were $9.0 million and $3.2 million, respectively (December 31, 2025 - $6.8 million and $0.9 million, respectively).
Consolidated voting interest entities
Alta Signa
Alta Signa Holdings (“Alta Signa”) is considered a VOE and the Company holds a majority of the voting interests through its seats on Alta Signa’s board of directors. As a result, the Company has consolidated the results of Alta Signa in its consolidated financial statements. The Company’s ownership in Alta Signa as of September 30, 2026 was 75.1%. As of September 30, 2026, Alta Signa’s assets and liabilities, before intercompany eliminations, included in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets were $2.1 million and $1.2 million, respectively (December 31, 2025 - $1.8 million and $1.3 million, respectively).
Non-consolidated variable interest entities
The Company is a passive investor in certain third-party-managed hedge and private equity funds, some of which are VIEs. The Company is not involved in the design or establishment of these VIEs, nor does it actively participate in the management of the VIEs.
The Company calculates maximum exposure to loss to be (i) the amount invested in the debt or equity of the VIE, (ii) the notional amount of VIE assets or liabilities where the Company has also provided credit protection to the VIE with the VIE as the referenced obligation, and (iii) other commitments and guarantees to the VIE. The Company does not have any VIEs that it sponsors, nor any VIEs where it has recourse to it or has provided a guarantee to the VIE interest holders.
The following table presents the carrying amount of unconsolidated VIEs in which the Company holds a variable interest, as well as the maximum exposure to loss associated with these VIEs as of September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025:
