RenaissanceRe is one of the world's largest and most successful re-insurers of natural and human-made catastrophes. Insurer RenaissanceRe Holdings Ltd RNR.N said on Monday it would buy AIG's AIG.N treaty reinsurance business, which includes Validus Reinsurance Ltd and its consolidated subsidiaries, in a deal valued at nearly $3 billion.
The deal terms include about $2.74 billion in cash and $250 million of RenaissanceRe common shares, the companies said in their statements.
Shares of AIG were up marginally in extended trading. The stock is down nearly 15% so far this year.
The insurance sector continues to see dealmaking activities as companies take advantage of defensive business models that do better in times of economic uncertainty.
The cash consideration is expected to be funded through RenaissanceRe available funds and proceeds from the issuance of common equity and debt. The companies expect the deal to close in the fourth quarter of 2023.


A Fortex white label can look like the fastest route to a modern branded trading environment, but a fast launch is not the same as a controlled launch. This 2026 broker guide explains what the Fortex platform is, where a Fortex broker solution can sit in a wider operating stack, and how to evaluate the difference between a white label, a server licence, and a connected CRM or Client Office setup. It also unpacks Fortex cost beyond the monthly headline, including implementation, integration, support, data, governance, migration, and exit assumptions. Use the practical questions, workflow tests, comparison table, and launch checklist to assess a Fortex provider without mistaking a feature demo for evidence that your brokerage can run the service safely at scale.

The decision to switch white label providers or migrate to a modern white label trading platform is no longer a luxury for growth-minded brokers—it's a strategic necessity for survival in 2026. The convergence of technological stagnation, regulatory evolution, and shifting client expectations has created a perfect storm.

Switched from one trading strategy to another but could not avert heavy losses? Wondering what went wrong despite your market analysis being spot on? It may not be a strategic issue then. It may just be that you chose the wrong lot size. Yes, a single oversized position can get your account exposed to far greater risks than you may imagine. You may be moved by the impressive profits with increasing lot sizes. But by doing so, you also invite a proportionate rise in losses. This is where you need to apply the essential 1% risk management principle. This rule helps you assess how much you can afford to lose if a trade does not go as planned.

Backtesting remains one of the primary skills forex traders learn. By implementing a trading strategy based on historical currency pair price information, traders can view their past performance. The strategy leading to consistent profits during backtesting can raise confidence and lay a structured approach to the forex market. However, the path is not as simple as it may sound. Several traders tend to meet a harsh reality when transitioning to live trading. The strategy that seemed almost flawless on historical charts suddenly fails to deliver the results it did before. The sudden difference may not necessarily be because of a poor strategy. Rather, it indicates limitations concerning backtesting and several factors that play their part in a live market where conditions change frequently. It is thus important to understand these differences so that you can set realistic expectations and work on to achieve consistent success.
