Please find attached our Offshore-i report on transactions for the first quarter of 2013. Offshore-i provides data and insight about the mergers and acquisition activity going on in the major offshore jurisdictions around the globe, where we do the majority of our business.

The key themes emerging from the report show that in the first quarter of 2013:

  • There were 448 deals involving offshore targets completed with an aggregate value of USD28bn, representing a 28% drop in volumes and a 73% drop in values against the previous quarter.
  • The average offshore deal size was USD62m for Q1 2013, which is lower than we have come to expect based on 2012 figures, but is consistent with the average deal size across 2010 and 2011, which stood at USD66m across those eight quarters.

The Long Game: How Bermuda Became The World’s Life Reinsurance Capital
