”The completion of this arrangement further enhances Pacific Life Re’s position as a leading provider of bespoke longevity hedging solutions for insurers and we look forward to working with Rothesay Life on other future opportunities.”
Addy Loudiadis, chief executive of Rothesay Life, said: Rothesay Life values the ongoing association with Pacific Life Re highly and this transaction is a further example of how we can work together successfully to complete an important milestone transaction for the industry.
