AllianceBernstein announced an equity investment in Fortitude Carlyle Asia Reinsurance to strengthen its insurance asset management presence across Asia and manage private alternative assets for the new reinsurer.

AllianceBernstein announced plans to expand its insurance presence across Asia through an equity investment in Fortitude Carlyle Asia Reinsurance, Ltd. (FCA Re), according to a press release. The firm has been named a lead investor in FCA Re, a Bermuda-based reinsurance sidecar vehicle created by Fortitude Re to focus on Asian insurance liabilities.

As part of the transaction, AllianceBernstein will manage private alternative assets for FCA Re and appoint a representative to its board of directors. FCA Re will initially assume a portion of existing liabilities from Fortitude Re and will also reinsure a share of future transactions in Asia.
