Fidelis Partnership files for a New York listing

The Bermuda-based specialty insurer and reinsurer has filed for an initial public offering on the New York Stock Exchange, a marquee moment for the island's risk-capital hub.

The Fidelis Partnership, the Bermuda-based specialty insurance and reinsurance group, has filed for an initial public offering on the New York Stock Exchange. A completed listing would put one of the island's newer re-insurance names on the region's largest exchange and underline Bermuda's standing as a global center for risk capital.

Pricing, size and timing will come in the prospectus. For Bermuda, the filing is a reminder that the island's core industry still reaches the deepest capital markets in the world (SEC filing).
