Samsung’s financial arm is buying its way into Europe’s specialty insurance market.
Samsung Fire & Marine will spend about 3 trillion won ($2.2 billion) to raise its stake in UK insurer Canopius from 40% to 79%, alongside KKR and Korea Investment Corporation. It marks the first overseas acquisition by a Samsung financial affiliate. Canopius earnings will move onto Samsung Fire’s consolidated results. We also look at why unsecured loan rates are rising as bond yields fall.
