Under the terms of the agreement, Japan Post Insurance intends to hold a majority stake in the vehicle, with plans to invest between $1 billion and $2 billion. This investment is part of a broader strategic partnership among Japan Post Insurance, KKR, and Global Atlantic, which was originally established on June 7, 2023. The reinsurance vehicle is expected to engage in Global Atlantic’s insurance and reinsurance operations and may also pursue other strategic opportunities as they arise.
The company aims to finalize the investment terms within approximately three months, with a capital deployment target as early as 2026. However, finalization is contingent on receiving the necessary governmental and regulatory approvals. This strategic investment highlights Japan Post Insurance’s commitment to expanding its presence in the reinsurance market and leveraging its partnerships to drive growth.
