Walkers is pleased to have acted for Onex Corporation ("Onex") in respect of Onex's recent investment in Convex Group Limited ("Convex"), as well as associated fund and co-investment structuring matters. In dollar value of capital, Convex is the largest re/insurance start-up in the Bermuda market's history and will be led by well-known insurance industry veteran, Stephen Catlin, with $1.8 billion of committed capital.

The invested capital comes from the Convex management team and Onex Partners V, an Onex managed fund, and a consortium of co-investors.

Convex will underwrite insurance and reinsurance in Bermuda and London and is expected to create at least 50 jobs in Bermuda.
