Bermuda-based specialty re/insurer Vantage Group Holdings Ltd. has reported a strong financial performance for the year ended December 31, 2025, with net income more than doubling to $201.7 million compared to $100.5 million in 2024.
This substantial bottom-line improvement was underpinned by strong premium growth, with net earned premiums jumping 29.8% to $1.04 billion in 2025, up from $798 million in 2024.
Despite lower fee and other income, which fell to $30.7 million from $47.9 million, total revenues for the group grew 27.5% to $1.18 billion, compared to $927.9 million the previous year.
On the investment side, Vantage saw its net investment income rise significantly by 39.3% to $116.3 million in 2025, up from $83.5 million in 2024.
The firm also recognised net realised gains on investments of $425,000, recovering from a net realised loss of $1.4 million in 2024.
Profitability was further boosted by an income tax benefit of $23.6 million, contrasting with a tax provision of $324,000 in 2024.
Overall expenses for the group grew to $1 billion in 2025, compared to $827.1 million in 2024.
This included net claims and claim expenses incurred of $616.2 million, up from $524.3 million, alongside net acquisition expenses of $195.4 million and general and administrative expenses of $174.9 million.
Ultimately, Vantage’s income before income taxes reached $178.1 million for the year, representing a 76.7% increase over the $100.8 million posted in 2024.
These strong 2025 results set a positive backdrop for Vantage’s next corporate chapter, following the successful completion of its acquisition by Howard Hughes Holdings Inc. in June 2026.
The all-cash transaction was valued at approximately $2.1 billion. Under the terms of the agreement, Vantage will continue to operate under its existing brand and leadership team, led by CEO Greg Hendrick.
Bill Ackman, founder and CEO of Pershing Square Capital Management, said that Howard Hughes’ $2.1 billion acquisition of Vantage echoes Warren Buffett’s early moves at Berkshire Hathaway, as the company he backs looks to build a diversified holding company.
