HP Reinsurance SPC Ltd. (HP Re), a Cayman Islands based reinsurer established by North Carolina investment adviser Hale Partnership Capital Management, has announced the appointment of Matt Walters as Chief Operating Officer, effective April 2, 2025.
Walters joins HP Re after a career at major investment banks, most recently serving as Group Head of Syndicated and Acquisition Financing within Wells Fargo’s Debt Capital Markets business for the past five years.
With two decades of transaction experience, he has led over 850 deals, raising more than $1.8 trillion in capital commitments, including over $500 billion in underwritten financing for strategic transactions.
In his new role, Walters will drive HP Re’s growth by providing innovative solutions to global insurers and reinsurers, diversifying HP Re’s exposure, and expanding activities in the loss portfolio transfer (LPT) market.
