RenaissanceRe Capital Partners' assets under management grew 5.5% to $8.54bn by H1 2026, but remain below 2025's $9.08bn peak. Growth slowed in recent quarters due to capital returns to investors. Key vehicles like DaVinci Re and Vermeer Re saw AUM increases, while ILS funds remained flat. The company is managing capacity in line with market opportunities.

Background
