PSP investing in reinsurer, OMERS aquiring HVAC company
The Public Sector Pension Investment Board is part of a group investing $1 billion in Convex Group Ltd., a specialty insurer and reinsurer.
In April 2019, Convex launched with $1.7 billion of committed capital. Its initial invested capital was raised from its management team, Onex Partners V, the PSP and a consortium of co-investors. The additional capital has been committed by the original investors, as well as multiple new investors.
“We are pleased to continue our successful partnership with Onex and Convex by supporting the company’s accelerated growth strategy,” said Martin Longchamps, managing director of private equity at the PSP, in a press release. “The Convex management team has established an agile, world-class specialty insurer with a strong operational foundation. This transaction is in line with our strategy of making sizeable, direct investments in high-quality companies alongside experienced partners.”
