    Assumption of portfolio from Brit
    In October 2012, RiverStone Holdings Limited acquired the issued share capital of Brit Insurance Limited (which subsequently changed its name to RiverStone Insurance Limited). Under the terms of the acquisition, the Brit group retained control of certain classes of business via a reinsurance agreement. RiverStone had the right, exercisable from April 2014, to commute this reinsurance arrangement. We are pleased to announce that in August 2014 RiverStone Insurance reached agreement with Brit to novate this reinsurance agreement and assumed control of this portfolio, which has reinsured liabilities of approximately £190 million.

    A big thank you!
    A big thank you to everyone who generously supported the team at RiverStone UK in our recent Transatlantic Sports Challenge against our sister office in New Hampshire, USA, all of your donations were very much appreciated. Between our 3 offices in Darlington, London and Brighton we rowed, ran, swam, walked and cycled a total of 966 miles. More importantly we will have raised over £15,000 for Macmillan, our chosen charity this year, when donations, gift aid and some very generous matching of employee donations by RiverStone are taken into account. As a result Macmillan can help many more people with their fight through cancer. Our colleagues in the US also put a tremendous amount of work into fundraising for their chosen charity, which helps disabled and disadvantaged children. We’d agreed to compete with them to see who could raise the most money for our respective charities. It would be immodest of us to say who won, suffice to say that we’re happy to let them have another crack at the title next year.

    Fundraising update
    Each year, the employees in RiverStone's UK companies choose a charity to support with their fund-raising activities.  This year we have chosen Macmillan Cancer Support. From its early beginnings in 1911, Macmillan Cancer Support has grown to become the largest cancer care and support charity in the UK. They provide nurses and therapists to help cancer suffers through treatment, advisers to tell them which benefits they’re entitled to, volunteers to give them a hand with the everyday things and campaigners to push for better cancer care. Please help us raise funds for Macmillan to continue to make this possible. On Friday 20th September 4 teams from RiverStone will be walking, running, cycling, swimming and rowing as far as they can to raise money for Macmillan. Between us we will be completing a massive 154 mile walk, cycling 416 miles, running 132 miles, swimming 22,400 metres (that’s almost 900 lengths of a pool) and finally also rowing 70,000  metres - all in a day!  Then at the end of that challenge we will compare our fundraising efforts against our colleagues in RiverStone’s US office who are also completing various sports to raise money on the same day. Between them, the 4 RiverStone teams in the UK are aiming  to raise £6,000 for Macmillan. Please help us to reach our target by donating through our JustGiving pages at:  http://www.justgiving.com/Special-Ops http://www.justgiving.com/RiverStone1    http://www.justgiving.com/DennoesDinosaurs http://www.justgiving.com/The-Pesky-Darmints  Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving - they'll never share them with anyone or send you unwanted emails. Once you donate, they'll send your money directly to Macmillan. They'll make sure Gift Aid (an additional 25%) is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer, too. One in three of us will get cancer and it’s the toughest fight most of us will ever face. By joining Team Macmillan in this fundraising event you're helping support people and their families living with cancer. So please dig deep and donate now.
