Sixth Street, the global investment firm, has agreed to buy a majority stake in Monument Re, a life insurance and reinsurance holding company focused on acquiring and managing in-force portfolios across Europe.
The deal, signed by investment vehicles Sixth Street manages or advises, is expected to close by the end of 2026. It needs regulatory approvals and other customary conditions.
Hannover Re, the global reinsurer, will remain a key shareholder and committed to supporting Monument and Sixth Street’s strategy, the companies said in a joint statement.
Monument Re will receive fresh capital and resources to accelerate its strategic initiatives. It will continue to operate as a standalone company and service its policyholders.
“We are excited to partner with Monument and Hannover Re as we expand our global insurance footprint,” Rohan Singhal, Partner and Head of Insurance at Sixth Street, said in the statement. “This investment reflects our deep conviction in the European market and our approach of partnering with strategics as a model for success. We look forward to fulfilling Monument’s potential as a leading consolidator in its core markets, while maintaining a focus on long-term security for policyholders.”
Brona Magee, Executive Board Member for Life & Health at Hannover Re, said the company welcomes Sixth Street’s investment and views it “as an important step for the Company’s future growth and development. Hannover Re values the strong partnership with Monument and will continue to support the Company as a reinsurance partner and shareholder.”
Carlo Elsinghorst, Group Chief Executive Officer of Monument Re, said the support from shareholders at this “pivotal moment for our Company” puts Monument in a “fantastic position as we continue on our growth path.”
For Sixth Street, Morgan Stanley acted as financial advisor. Oliver Wyman was actuarial advisor, KPMG was financial and tax advisor, and Cleary Gottlieb Steen & Hamilton and Debevoise & Plimpton were legal advisors.
Fenchurch Advisory Partners advised Monument Re. Hogan Lovells, Conyers Dill & Pearman (Bermuda), and Herbert Smith Freehills Kramer provided legal counsel.
The Monument Re deal is the latest sign of private equity interest in European life insurance books, where margins on legacy policies and regulatory capital demands create opportunities for consolidators. Sixth Street already has a foothold in the sector through prior investments, and the addition of Hannover Re as a long-term partner covers the reinsurance side of the strategy.
For policyholders, the change in ownership structure does not alter coverage terms. Monument will remain the counterparty, and Hannover Re’s continued stake provides an additional layer of support. The deal is expected to close by the end of 2026, with regulatory reviews in multiple EU jurisdictions.
Sixth Street's head of insurance, Rohan Singhal, said the firm sees the European market as a core expansion zone. The transaction gives Monument a capital injection to pursue more in-force acquisitions, which have been a steady source of fee income for the sector.
