<\/em><\/p>\nThe deal represents Paragon\u2019s latest expansion\u00a0into the global specialty\u00a0Excess & Surplus lines market and\u00a0brings additional high-rated reinsurance capacity providers supporting the ongoing build out of its portfolio.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019re excited to welcome NER to Paragon,\u201d Ron Ganiats, CEO and co-founder of Paragon said.\u00a0\u201cWith NER\u2019s talent, carrier and reinsurance following, we will now be at the forefront of providing insurance solutions to the technology and project leaders that continue to move into the energy space.\u201d<\/p>\n
The announcement comes amid a strong period of growth for\u00a0NER\u00a0on the back of rising demand\u00a0for its unique risk assessment and underwriting services.\u00a0NER, in a push toward Underwriting a Greener\u00a0Future™, continues to develop new products to meet shifts in the economy as energy sources transition toward sustainability and industries decarbonize. The company has also implemented its own Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) client framework during this critical period to better respond to these market trends.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe understand the needs of energy technology companies, project developers and investors in this space. We translate the \u2018arcane\u2019 insurance market on their behalf and deliver what they need to secure cost-effective project finance and expedite customer adoption,\u201d Tom Dickson, CEO of\u00a0NER, said.<\/p>\n
NER was founded\u00a0in 2010 by Tom Hutton, former CEO of RMS and White Mountains Re, in partnership with then XL Group. In 2015, XL Innovate (XLI), an insurtech venture fund, was formed. NER became XLI\u2019s first portfolio company. NER had been operating as a majority-owned subsidiary of AXA under its AXA XL brand.<\/p>\n
\u201cNER is at an inflection point,\u201d said Hutton, who will remain involved as an advisor after the acquisition. \u201cWe are all committed to investing in its continued growth and to see the impactful results of its products and services, especially given the transformative support of Paragon.\u201d<\/p>\n
