What Hamilton Insurance Group, Ltd. told the SEC could break it.
Hamilton's register is a study in concentration across the three sides of a (re)insurer: what it underwrites, how it gets its business, and how it invests. As a property and specialty (re)insurer it carries large natural-catastrophe exposure, relying on third-party models (Verisk, RMS) and its own HARP platform to estimate maximum losses that can understate the actual ones; and it reaches almost all of its business through brokers, with its largest accounting for about 54% of 2025 gross premiums written (Marsh McLennan ~10%) and its Bermuda segment far more concentrated still (Marsh ~41%, Aon ~30%). On the asset side it invests unusually concentrated, with 37% of its portfolio in the Two Sigma-managed TS Hamilton Fund, a quantitative strategy whose complex automated processes carry coding-error, systems-failure and unauthorized-trading risk.

In its own words
What could break it.
Climate & physical
- Natural-catastrophe underwriting exposure — property/specialty (re)insurer reliant on third-party cat models (Verisk, RMS) and proprietary HARP to estimate probable maximum losses, with models that may understate actual lossesmedium
As a global property, casualty and specialty (re)insurer (Hamilton Re is a Bermuda Class 4 insurer), Hamilton carries large natural-catastrophe exposure and depends on third-party vendor models (Verisk and Risk Management Solutions) plus its proprietary HARP platform to estimate probable maximum losses. These models rest on broad assumptions (storm surge, demand surge, zone density, secondary uncertainty) and do not capture all perils, so actual catastrophe losses can materially exceed modeled estimates — a core climate/physical-peril exposure that drives earnings and capital volatility. Severity medium: central to the business and partially mitigated by reinsurance/retrocession, but inherently model-dependent.
“For natural catastrophe risk, we rely on third-party vendor models (e.g., Verisk and Risk Management Solutions) and proprietary tools such as our HARP platform to estimate probable maximum losses.”

Customer concentration
- Broker-distribution concentration — top brokers ~54% of 2025 gross premiums written (Marsh McLennan ~10%, Arthur J Gallagher ~7%); Bermuda segment even more concentrated (Marsh ~41%, Aon ~30%)medium
Hamilton accesses its business almost entirely through insurance and reinsurance brokers, and that distribution is concentrated: its largest brokers accounted for an aggregate ~54% of 2025 gross premiums written (Marsh McLennan ~10%, Arthur J Gallagher ~7%), and within the Bermuda segment the concentration is far higher (Marsh ~41%, Aon ~30%). Because brokers control the flow of business to Hamilton, the loss of, or a deterioration in, a key broker relationship — or consolidation among the major brokers — could materially reduce premium volume. The individually named ≥10% brokers (Marsh, Aon) are captured as edges; this records the channel-concentration risk. Severity medium.
“accounted for an aggregate of approximately 54% of our gross premiums written in 2025, with the largest broker, Marsh McLennan, accounting for approximately 10% of our gross premiums written. The second largest broker, Arthur J Gallagher, accounted for approximately 7% of our gross premiums written.”

Liquidity & debt
- Investment-portfolio concentration in the Two Sigma-managed TS Hamilton Fund (37% of investments) — quant strategy whose complex, automated processes carry operational, coding-error and unauthorized-trading riskmedium
37% of Hamilton's investment portfolio (as at Dec 31, 2025) is held in the TS Hamilton Fund, a quantitative strategy managed by Two Sigma, alongside 55% fixed income/short-term and 8% cash. Two Sigma's highly complex and automated processes rely on advanced technology and large datasets, creating risks of coding errors, data inaccuracies, cybersecurity breaches, systems failures and unauthorized trading that could produce unpredictable outcomes and material investment losses. Concentrating over a third of investable assets in a single externally managed quant fund ties a meaningful share of Hamilton's capital and earnings to that fund's performance and operational integrity. The Two Sigma manager relationship is captured as an edge; this records the investment-concentration/operational risk. Severity medium.
“Two Sigma's highly complex and automated processes rely on advanced technology and large datasets, creating risks of coding errors, data inaccuracies, cybersecurity breaches, systems failures and process changes that may lead to unpredictable outcomes.”
