Compre Group
Founded in 2011, Compre Group was established by CEO Marcus Mollan to specialize in legacy insurance liability acquisitions — a niche known as run-off or discontinued lines. The firm's wealth origin is corporate rather than family, deriving from institutional and management ownership, not a single family fortune. Compre's strategy centers on acquiring portfolios of discontinued insurance and reinsurance liabilities, then managing them to ultimate closure. The firm deploys capital into fixed income, credit, infrastructure debt, and structured insurance assets to back those liabilities. Known transactions include the acquisition of the Novae Group's discontinued lines in 2019 and the purchase of the U.S. legacy portfolio of PartnerRe in 2021 (per Artemis, 2021). Geographic footprint spans Europe, North America, and Bermuda. Compre maintains offices in London, Bermuda, Zurich, and Stamford, Connecticut, with roughly 65 employees. The firm has completed over 15 legacy acquisitions since inception. In 2023, Compe completed the acquisition of the Lloyd's run-off platform of RiverStone from Fairfax Financial (per Reuters, May 2023). The firm operates as an independent entity, not part of a family office structure. Compre's structural differentiator is its dedicated focus on liability run-off as a standalone investment strategy, rare among asset managers. Rather than opportunistically taking legacy blocks, Compre builds permanent capital vehicles to acquire and manage discontinued lines, creating predictable long-duration cash flows insulated from active market cycles.

Frequently asked questions

How does Compre Group source proprietary deal flow?
Compre sources acquisition opportunities through direct relationships with insurers, reinsurers, and brokers in the London market, Bermuda, and continental Europe. The firm's track record of completing over 15 legacy acquisitions since 2011 provides credibility with sellers.
Is Compre Group structured as a family office?
No. Compre Group is an independent asset manager specializing in legacy liability management. It is owned by institutional and management investors, not a single family.
What investment stages does Compre typically target?

Which sectors does Compre Group explicitly avoid?
Compre avoids active underwriting, direct equity, venture capital, and any investment that requires ongoing insurance risk origination. The firm's mandate is strictly legacy management.
How is Compre Group different from traditional insurers or reinsurers?
Unlike traditional insurers, Compre does not write new policies. It specializes solely in acquiring and managing discontinued lines — freeing sellers' capital and expertise for active business while Compre takes on the long-tail liability run-off.
Does Compre Group maintain philanthropic structures?
There is no public disclosure of a foundation or charitable arm at Compre Group. The firm's corporate structure focuses entirely on legacy liability management.
