FG Financial Group Sees Reinsurance Premium Growth As It Continues to Expand Its Reinsurance Business
Completes Fourth IPO on Its SPAC Platform
FG Financial Group, Inc. (Nasdaq: FGF) (the “Company”), a reinsurance and asset management holding company focused on opportunistic collateralized and loss capped reinsurance, while allocating capital in partnership with Fundamental Global®, a private partnership focused on long-term strategic holdings led by Kyle Cerminara and Joe Moglia – and from time to time other strategic investors, to SPAC and SPAC sponsor-related businesses, today announced results for the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2022.
FG Financial Group CEO Larry Swets, Jr. commented, “In the second quarter, we continued to execute our strategy to grow long-term intrinsic value through a strategic focus on our SPAC and reinsurance businesses. The reinsurance market is the strongest we have seen in many years, presenting many opportunities to write attractive niche contracts. Since launching our reinsurance business we have entered six contracts, with three added this quarter driving significant reinsurance premium growth. We also continue to grow our FG SPAC platform and closed a $115 million IPO for FG Acquisition Corp. (TSX: FGAA.U) in April. Our SPAC business has now completed two de-SPACs with OppFi and Hagerty, and currently has two funded SPACs evaluating acquisition opportunities. While we recorded a non-cash unrealized loss from investments in the first half of the year primarily due to valuation discounts attributed to SPAC investments at pre-merger stage, we remain extremely optimistic about the long-term growth opportunity in these businesses.”
FG Financial Group Chairman Kyle Cerminara added, “We continue to see asymmetric risk/reward opportunities across our markets, and remain focused on patiently allocating capital to drive long-term shareholder value.”
