RiskSmart
“RiverStone allows us to focus on our core business…they are honest and they use {that} clout to do it better than we can.”
Global Reinsurer
At RiverStone, we apply the right due diligence and analysis to get the right price for the right risk to ensure long-term success. In over 20 years of run-off, we’ve learned that there is a substantial difference between risk aversion and risk control: we call it RiskSmart.
Our diligence is thorough and deliberate, which enables us to see stakeholder opportunities or challenges where others do not. This approach generates trust and long-term relationships: over half of our current portfolio is repeat business. We also respect that not all transactions are designed for us.
“How they do due diligence is a competitive advantage for RiverStone.”

We will continue to innovate and alter the run-off landscape in response to liability complexity, evolving markets, and changing regulations. We are not driven by short-term financial pressures, which increases flexibility while allowing us to uphold our values in how we work.
We pride ourselves on our speed and creativity in deal execution.
“RiverStone is viewed as a class apart by the way that they go about their execution model.”
