The launch of West Grove Re provides Talcott with additional third-party capital and reinsurance capacity, supporting its growth strategy and potentially improving its capital efficiency. For Goldman Sachs, the partnership expands its private credit and asset management business in the insurance sector, likely enhancing fee income and client relationships.
Talcott Financial Group, an international life insurance group, announced the establishment of West Grove Re, Ltd., a United Kingdom — Bermuda-domiciled reinsurance sidecar, in partnership with Goldman Sachs. West Grove Re closed an approximately $1 billion capital raise, including equity commitments from Talcott, Goldman Sachs Asset & Wealth Management (AWM) and its clients, plus a credit facility. The sidecar will participate in a quota share of certain Talcott-sourced U.S. annuities, designed to enhance Talcott's ability to deliver scalable, capital-efficient solutions. Goldman Sachs AWM will act as investment manager for private asset strategies, with other third-party managers expected to manage the remainder of assets. The initiative is enabled by Sixth Street Partners and Talcott's open architecture asset management model. Talcott managed approximately $134 billion in assets as of March 31, 2026. Goldman Sachs has over $4.0 trillion in assets under supervision globally as of June 30, 2026.
