Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] | |
Basis of presentation and consolidation | Basis of preparation and consolidation These unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements (the “Consolidated Financial Statements”) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 in Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. In addition, the year-end balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements but does not include all disclosures required by U.S. GAAP. This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and related notes included in Validus Holdings, Ltd.’s (the “Company”) Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017, as filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). During the fourth quarter of 2017, the Company changed its reportable segments to “Reinsurance,” “Insurance,” and “Asset Management.” The change in reportable segments and primary lines of business had no impact on the Company’s historical consolidated financial positions, results of operations or cash flows as previously reported. Where applicable, all prior periods presented have been reclassified to conform to this new presentation. The Company consolidates in these Consolidated Financial Statements the results of operations and financial position of every voting interest entity (“VOE”) in which the Company has a controlling financial interest and variable interest entity (“VIE”) in which the Company is considered to be the primary beneficiary. The consolidation assessment, including the determination as to whether an entity qualifies as a VIE or VOE, depends on the facts and circumstances surrounding each entity. In the opinion of management, these unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements reflect all adjustments (including normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair statement of the Company’s financial position and results of operations as at the end of and for the periods presented. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. The results of operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results for a full year. The preparation of these Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. While the amounts included in the Consolidated Financial Statements reflect management’s best estimates and assumptions, actual results could differ from those estimates. The Company’s principal estimates include: •the reserve for losses and loss expenses; •the premium written on a line slip or proportional basis; •the valuation of goodwill and intangible assets; •the loss reserves recoverable, including the provision for uncollectible amounts; and •the valuation of invested assets and other financial instruments. The term “ASC” used in these notes refers to Accounting Standard Codification issued by the United States Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”). |

Business Combinations [Abstract] | |
Business combination | Business combinations American International Group, Inc. (“AIG”) On July 18, 2018, the Company completed its previously announced definitive agreement and plan of merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with American International Group, Inc. (“AIG”) in accordance with Section 105 of the Bermuda Companies Act 1981. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement the Company merged with an existing AIG subsidiary in accordance with the Bermuda Companies Act 1981 (the “Merger”), with the Company continuing as the surviving corporation and as a wholly-owned subsidiary of AIG. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, each issued and outstanding common share, par value $0.175 per common share, of the Company, other than shares that were owned by the Company as treasury shares, owned by a subsidiary of the Company, owned by AIG or any of its subsidiaries or that were subject to any Company Award (as defined in the Merger Agreement), were converted into the right to receive $68.00 in cash, without interest and subject to any applicable tax withholdings. Each of the Company’s issued and outstanding Series A and Series B Preferred Shares remains issued and outstanding, and continues to be listed on the NYSE and registered under the Exchange Act. Also on July 18, 2018, in connection with the consummation of the Merger, the Company notified the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) of the completion of the Merger and requested that trading in the Common Shares be withdrawn from listing on the NYSE. The NYSE filed a notification of removal from listing on Form 25 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) with respect to the Common Shares to report the delisting of the Common Shares from the NYSE and to suspend trading of the Common Shares on the NYSE prior to the opening of trading on July 18, 2018. On July 26, 2018 the Company filed with the SEC a certificate of notice of termination on Form 15 with respect to its Common Shares, requesting that the Common Shares be deregistered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and that the reporting obligations of the Company with respect to the Common Shares under Sections 13 and 15(d) of the Exchange Act be suspended. Crop Risk Services (“CRS”) On May 1, 2017, Western World, a wholly–owned subsidiary of the Company acquired all of the outstanding capital stock of CRS for an aggregate purchase price of $185,576 in cash. CRS is a primary crop insurance managing general agent (“MGA”) based in Decatur, Illinois with 1,170 agents across 36 states. CRS does not have insurance licenses of its own, but acts solely as an MGA in that it can produce business for any properly licensed entity on a commission basis. Concurrent with closing of the transaction, Stratford, a wholly–owned subsidiary of Western World, was granted the required licenses to write crop insurance in the United States and executed several agreements to transfer the related agriculture book of business to Stratford.

Investments | Investments Managed investments represent assets governed by the Company’s investment policy statement (“IPS”) whereas, non-managed investments represent assets held in support of consolidated AlphaCat VIEs which are not governed by the Company’s IPS. Refer to Note 6, “Variable interest entities,” for further details. The amortized cost (or cost) and fair values of the Company’s investments as at June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 were as follows:
The following table sets forth certain information regarding Standard & Poor’s credit quality ratings (or an equivalent rating with another recognized rating agency) of the Company’s fixed maturity investments as at June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017:
The amortized cost and fair values for the Company’s fixed maturity investments held at June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 are shown below by contractual maturity. Actual maturity may differ from contractual maturity due to prepayment rights associated with certain investments.
The following tables set forth certain information regarding the Company’s other investment portfolio as at June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017:
(a) The redemption frequency and notice periods only apply to investments without redemption restrictions. Other investments include investments in various funds and pooled investment schemes. These alternative investments employ various investment strategies primarily involving, but not limited to, investments in collateralized obligations, fixed income securities, private equities, distressed debt and equity securities. Certain debt-like investments totaling $196,379 (December 31, 2017: $186,734) are either rated or consist of underlying securities or instruments which carry credit ratings issued by nationally recognized statistical rating organizations. Other equity-like investments totaling $169,805 (December 31, 2017: $168,484) are unrated given the nature of their underlying assets, such as private equity investments, and as such do not carry credit ratings. Certain securities included in other investments are subject to redemption restrictions. Distributions from these funds will be received as the underlying investments of the funds are liquidated. Currently, it is not known by the Company when these underlying assets will be sold by their investment managers; however, it is estimated that the majority of the underlying assets of the investments will liquidate over five to ten-year periods from inception of the funds. Furthermore, the underlying investments held in the overseas deposit funds are liquid and will generally trade freely in an open market. However, the Company’s ability to withdraw from the overseas deposit funds is restricted by annual and quarterly funding and release processes for Lloyd’s market participants. The Company’s maximum exposure to any of these alternative investments is limited to the invested amounts and any remaining capital commitments. Refer to Note 15, “Commitments and contingencies,” for further details. As at June 30, 2018, the Company does not have any plans to sell any of the other investments listed above.

Fair value measurements | Fair value measurements
Fair value is defined as the price to sell an asset or transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. Under U.S. GAAP, a company must determine the appropriate level in the fair value hierarchy for each fair value measurement. The fair value hierarchy prioritizes the inputs, which refer broadly to assumptions market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability, into three levels. It gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs. The level in the fair value hierarchy within which a fair value measurement in its entirety falls is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below: Level 1 - Fair values are measured based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that we have the ability to access. Level 2 - Fair values are measured based on quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in inactive markets, or for which significant inputs are observable (e.g., interest rates, yield curves, prepayment speeds, default rates, loss severities, etc.) or can be corroborated by observable market data. Level 3 - Fair values are measured based on unobservable inputs that reflect the Company’s own judgments about assumptions where there is little, if any, market activity for that asset or liability that market participants might use. The availability of observable inputs can vary from financial instrument to financial instrument and is affected by a wide variety of factors including, for example, the type of financial instrument, whether the financial instrument is new and not yet established in the marketplace, and other characteristics particular to the instrument. To the extent that valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires significantly more judgment. Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised by management in determining fair value is greatest for instruments categorized in Level 3. In periods of market dislocation, the observability of prices and inputs may be reduced for many instruments. This may lead the Company to change the selection of the valuation technique (for example, from market to cash flow approach) or to use multiple valuation techniques to estimate the fair value of a financial instrument. These circumstances could cause an instrument to be reclassified between levels within the fair value hierarchy. At June 30, 2018, the Company’s investments were allocated between Levels 1, 2 and 3 as follows:
At December 31, 2017, the Company’s investments were allocated between Levels 1, 2 and 3 as follows:
At June 30, 2018, managed Level 3 investments totaled $345,808 (December 31, 2017: $331,282), representing 5.7% (December 31, 2017: 5.2%) of total managed investments.
There have been no material changes in the Company’s valuation techniques during the periods presented in these Consolidated Financial Statements. The following methods and assumptions were used in estimating the fair value of each class of financial instrument recorded in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Fixed maturity investments In general, valuation of the Company’s fixed maturity investment portfolio is provided by pricing services, such as index providers and pricing vendors, as well as broker quotations. The pricing vendors provide valuations for a high volume of liquid securities that are actively traded. For securities that do not trade on an exchange, the pricing services generally utilize market data and other observable inputs in matrix pricing models to determine month end prices. Prices are generally verified using third party data. Index providers generally utilize centralized trade reporting networks, available market makers and statistical techniques. In general, broker-dealers value securities through their trading desks based on observable inputs. The methodologies include mapping securities based on trade data, bids or offers, observed spreads, and performance on newly issued securities. Broker-dealers also determine valuations by observing secondary trading of similar securities. Prices obtained from broker quotations are considered non-binding, however they are based on observable inputs and by observing secondary trading of similar securities obtained from active, non-distressed markets. The Company considers these valuations to be Level 2 inputs as they are corroborated with other market observable inputs. The techniques generally used to determine the fair value of the Company’s fixed maturity investments are detailed below by asset class. U.S. government and government agency U.S. government and government agency securities consist primarily of debt securities issued by the U.S. Treasury and mortgage pass-through agencies such as the Federal National Mortgage Association, the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation and the Government National Mortgage Association. Fixed maturity investments included in U.S. government and government agency securities are primarily priced by pricing services. When evaluating these securities, the pricing services gather information from market sources and integrate other observations from markets and sector news. Evaluations are updated by obtaining broker dealer quotes and other market information including actual trade volumes, when available. The fair value of each security is individually computed using analytical models which incorporate option adjusted spreads and other daily interest rate data. As the significant inputs used to price these securities are observable, the fair values of these investments are classified as Level 2. Non-U.S. government and government agency Non-U.S. government and government agency securities consist of debt securities issued by non-U.S. governments and their agencies along with supranational organizations (also known as sovereign debt securities). Securities held in these sectors are primarily priced by pricing services that employ proprietary discounted cash flow models to value the securities. Key quantitative inputs for these models are daily observed benchmark curves for treasury, swap and high issuance credits. The pricing services then apply a credit spread for each security which is developed by in-depth and real time market analysis. For securities in which trade volume is low, the pricing services utilize data from more frequently traded securities with similar attributes. These models may also be supplemented by daily market and credit research for international markets. As the significant inputs used to price these securities are observable, the fair values of these investments are classified as Level 2. U.S. states, municipalities and political subdivisions The Company’s U.S. states, municipalities and political subdivisions portfolio contains debt securities issued by U.S. domiciled state and municipal entities. These securities are generally priced by independent pricing services using the techniques described for U.S. government and government agency securities described above. As the significant inputs used to price these securities are observable, the fair values of these investments are classified as Level 2. Agency residential mortgage-backed securities The Company’s agency residential mortgage-backed investments are primarily priced by pricing services using a mortgage pool specific model which utilizes daily inputs from the active to be announced market which is very liquid, as well as the U.S. treasury market. The model also utilizes additional information, such as the weighted average maturity, weighted average coupon and other available pool level data which is provided by the sponsoring agency. Valuations are also corroborated with daily active market quotes. As the significant inputs used to price these securities are observable, the fair values of these investments are classified as Level 2. Non-agency residential mortgage-backed securities The Company’s non-agency mortgage-backed investments include non-agency prime residential mortgage-backed fixed maturity investments. The Company holds no sub-prime fixed maturity investments in its fixed maturity investments portfolio. Securities held in these sectors are primarily priced by pricing services using an option adjusted spread model or other relevant models, which principally utilize inputs including benchmark yields, available trade information or broker quotes, and issuer spreads. The pricing services also review collateral prepayment speeds, loss severity and delinquencies among other collateral performance indicators for the securities valuation, when applicable. As the significant inputs used to price these securities are observable, the fair values of these investments are classified as Level 2. U.S. corporate U.S. corporate debt securities consist primarily of investment-grade debt of a wide variety of U.S. corporate issuers and industries. The Company’s corporate fixed maturity investments are primarily priced by pricing services. When evaluating these securities, the pricing services gather information from market sources regarding the issuer of the security and obtain credit data, as well as other observations, from markets and sector news. Evaluations are updated by obtaining broker dealer quotes and other market information including actual trade volumes, when available. The pricing services also consider the specific terms and conditions of the securities, including any specific features which may influence risk. In certain instances, securities are individually evaluated using a spread which is added to the U.S. treasury curve or a security specific swap curve as appropriate. As the significant inputs used to price these securities are observable, the fair values of these investments are classified as Level 2. Non-U.S. corporate Non-U.S. corporate debt securities consist primarily of investment-grade debt of a wide variety of non-U.S. corporate issuers and industries. The Company’s non-U.S. corporate fixed maturity investments are primarily priced by pricing services. When evaluating these securities, the pricing services gather information from market sources regarding the issuer of the security and obtain credit data, as well as other observations, from markets and sector news. Evaluations are updated by obtaining broker dealer quotes and other market information including actual trade volumes, when available. The pricing services also consider the specific terms and conditions of the securities, including any specific features which may influence risk. As the significant inputs used to price these securities are observable, the fair values of these investments are classified as Level 2. Bank loans The Company’s bank loan investments consist primarily of below-investment-grade debt of a wide variety of corporate issuers and industries. The Company’s bank loans are primarily priced by pricing services. When evaluating these securities, the pricing services gather information from market sources regarding the issuer of the security and obtain credit data, as well as other observations, from markets and sector news. Evaluations are updated by obtaining broker dealer quotes and other market information including actual trade volumes, when available. The pricing services also consider the specific terms and conditions of the securities, including any specific features which may influence risk. As the significant inputs used to price these securities are observable, the fair values of these investments are classified as Level 2. Also, included in the bank loan portfolio is a collection of loan participations held through an intermediary. A third party pricing service provides monthly valuation reports for each loan and participation using a combination of quotations from loan pricing services, leveraged loan indices or market price quotes obtained directly from the intermediary. Significant unobservable inputs used to price these securities include credit spreads and default rates; therefore, the fair values of these investments are classified as Level 3. Asset-backed securities Asset backed securities include mostly investment-grade debt securities backed by pools of loans with a variety of underlying collateral, including automobile loan receivables, student loans, credit card receivables, and collateralized loan obligations originated by a variety of financial institutions. Securities held in these sectors are primarily priced by pricing services. The pricing services apply dealer quotes and other available trade information such as bids and offers, prepayment speeds which may be adjusted for the underlying collateral or current price data, the U.S. treasury curve and swap curve as well as cash settlement. The pricing services determine the expected cash flows for each security held in this sector using historical prepayment and default projections for the underlying collateral and current market data. In addition, a spread is applied to the relevant benchmark and used to discount the cash flows noted above to determine the fair values of the securities held in this sector. As the significant inputs used to price these securities are observable, the fair value of these investments are classified as Level 2. Where pricing is unavailable from pricing services, we obtain non-binding quotes from broker-dealers. This is generally the case when there is a low volume of trading activity and current transactions are not orderly. Broker-dealer quotes for which significant observable inputs are unable to be corroborated with market observable information are classified as Level 3. Commercial mortgage-backed securities Commercial mortgage backed securities are investment-grade debt primarily priced by pricing services. The pricing services apply dealer quotes and other available trade information such as bids and offers, prepayment speeds which may be adjusted for the underlying collateral or current price data, the U.S. treasury curve and swap curve as well as cash settlement. The pricing services determine the expected cash flows for each security held in this sector using historical prepayment and default projections for the underlying collateral and current market data. In addition, a spread is applied to the relevant benchmark and used to discount the cash flows noted above to determine the fair value of the securities held in this sector. As the significant inputs used to price these securities are observable, the fair values of these investments are classified as Level 2. Catastrophe bonds Catastrophe bonds are priced based on broker or underwriter bid indications. Level 2 catastrophe bonds are those traded over-the-counter; catastrophe bonds available only via private issuances are classified as Level 3. Short-term investments Short-term investments consist primarily of highly liquid securities, all with maturities of less than one year from the date of purchase. The fair value of the portfolio is generally determined using amortized cost which approximates fair value. As the highly liquid money market-type funds are actively traded, the fair value of these investments are classified as Level 1. To the extent that the remaining securities are not actively traded due to their approaching maturity, the fair values of these investments are classified as Level 2. Other investments Hedge funds The hedge fund’s administrator provides quarterly NAVs with a three month delay in valuation. The fair value of this investment is measured using the NAV practical expedient and therefore has not been categorized within the fair value hierarchy. Private equity investments The private equity funds provide quarterly or semi-annual partnership capital statements with a three or six month delay which are used as a basis for valuation. These private equity investments vary in investment strategies and are not actively traded in any open markets. The fair value of these investments are measured using the NAV practical expedient and therefore have not been categorized within the fair value hierarchy. Fixed income investment funds The Company’s investment funds classified as Level 2 consist of a pooled investment fund. The pooled investment is invested in fixed income securities with high credit ratings and is available only to Lloyd’s Trust Fund participants. The fair value of units in the investment fund is based on the NAV of the fund, which is traded on a daily basis. Included in investment funds is a residual equity tranche of a structured credit fund valued using a dynamic yield that calculates an income accrual based on an underlying valuation model with a typical cash flow waterfall structure. Significant unobservable inputs used to price this fund include default rates and prepayment rates; therefore, the fair value of the investment fund is classified as Level 3. The fair value of the Company’s remaining investment funds is based on the NAV of the fund as reported by the independent fund administrator. The fund’s administrators provide a monthly reported NAV with a one or three month delay in their valuation. The fair value of these investments is measured using the NAV practical expedient and therefore it has not been categorized within the fair value hierarchy. None of these investments are probable of being sold at amounts different than their NAVs. Overseas deposits The Company’s share of a portfolio of Lloyd’s overseas deposits is managed centrally by Lloyd’s and invested according to local regulatory requirements. The composition of the portfolio varies and the deposits are made across the market. The fair values of the deposits are based on the portfolio level reporting that is provided by Lloyd’s. The fair values of these investments are measured using the NAV practical expedient and therefore have not been categorized within the fair value hierarchy.
The following table presents a reconciliation of the beginning and ending balances for all investments measured at fair value on a recurring basis using Level 3 inputs during the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017:
There were no transfers into or out of Level 3 during the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 or 2017.
ASC Topic 825 “Financial Instruments” is also applicable to disclosures of financial instruments not carried at fair value, except for certain financial instruments, including insurance contracts and investments in affiliates. The carrying values of accrued investment income, other assets, net payable for investments purchased and accounts payable and accrued expenses approximated their fair values at June 30, 2018, due to their respective short maturities. As these financial instruments are not actively traded, their respective fair values are classified within Level 2. |

Variable interest entities | Variable interest entities The Company consolidates all VIEs in which it is considered to be the primary beneficiary. The Company’s VIEs are primarily entities in the AlphaCat segment.
AlphaCat sidecars Beginning on May 25, 2011, the Company joined with other investors in capitalizing a series of reinsurance and investment entities, referred to as “sidecars,” for the purpose of investing in collateralized reinsurance and retrocessional contracts. Certain of these sidecars deployed their capital through transactions entered into by AlphaCat Reinsurance Ltd. (“AlphaCat Re”). Each of these entities returns capital once the risk period expires and all losses have been paid out. The AlphaCat sidecars are VIEs and are consolidated by the Company. The Company’s maximum exposure to any of these sidecars is the amount of capital invested at any given time. AlphaCat ILS funds The AlphaCat ILS funds received third party subscriptions beginning on December 17, 2012. The Company and third party investors invest in the AlphaCat ILS funds for the purpose of investing in instruments with returns linked to property catastrophe reinsurance, retrocession and ILS contracts. The AlphaCat ILS funds have varying risk profiles and are categorized by the maximum permitted portfolio expected loss of the fund. The permitted portfolio expected loss represents the average annual loss over the set of simulation scenarios divided by the total limit. Lower risk ILS funds are defined as having a maximum permitted portfolio expected loss of less than 7%, whereas higher risk ILS funds have a maximum permitted portfolio expected loss of 7% or greater. The AlphaCat ILS funds primarily deploy their capital through transactions entered into by AlphaCat Re and AlphaCat Master Fund Ltd. (“AlphaCat Master Fund”). All of the AlphaCat ILS funds are VIEs and were consolidated by the Company through May 31, 2017. However, on June 1, 2017, the Company redeemed its investment in one of the lower risk AlphaCat ILS funds. As a result, the Company was no longer deemed to be the primary beneficiary and therefore this fund was deconsolidated effective June 1, 2017. The Company’s maximum exposure to any of the AlphaCat ILS funds is the amount of capital invested at any given time and any remaining capital commitments. AlphaCat Re and AlphaCat Master Fund The Company utilizes AlphaCat Re and AlphaCat Master Fund (collectively the “Master Funds”), both market facing entities, for the purpose of writing collateralized reinsurance and investing in capital markets products, respectively, on behalf of certain entities within the Asset Management segment and direct third party investors. AlphaCat Re enters into transactions on behalf of the AlphaCat sidecars and ILS funds (collectively the “Feeder Funds”) and direct third party investors, whereas AlphaCat Master Fund only enters into transactions on behalf of certain AlphaCat ILS funds. All of the risks and rewards of the underlying transactions are allocated to the Feeder Funds and direct third party investors using variable funding notes. The Master Funds are VIEs and are consolidated by the Company. Notes Payable to AlphaCat Investors The Master Funds issue variable funding notes to the Feeder Funds, and direct to third party investors, in order to write collateralized reinsurance and invest in capital markets products on their behalf. The Company’s investments in the Feeder Funds, together with investments made by third parties in the Feeder Funds and on a direct basis, are provided as consideration for the notes to the Master Funds. The duration of the underlying collateralized reinsurance contracts and capital market products is typically twelve months; however, the variable funding notes do not have a stated maturity date since repayment is dependent on the settlement and income or loss of the underlying transactions. Therefore, the notes are redeemed as the underlying transactions are settled. The income or loss generated by the underlying transactions is then transferred to the Feeder Funds and direct third party investors via the variable funding notes. Any notes issued by the Master Funds to the consolidated Feeder Funds are eliminated on consolidation and only variable funding notes issued by AlphaCat Re directly to third party investors and non-consolidated Feeder Funds remain on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as notes payable to AlphaCat investors with the related income or loss included in the Consolidated Statements of (Loss) Income and Comprehensive (Loss) Income as (income) attributable to AlphaCat investors. To the extent that the income has not been returned to the investors, it is included in accounts payable and accrued expenses in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. One of the AlphaCat ILS funds (the “Fund”) issued both common shares and structured notes to the Company and third party investors in order to capitalize the fund. The Fund deploys its capital through AlphaCat Re; therefore, the structured notes do not have a stated maturity date since repayment is dependent on the settlement and income or loss of the variable funding notes with AlphaCat Re. The structured notes rank senior to the common shares of the Fund and earn an interest rate of 6.5% (2017: 7%) per annum, payable on a cumulative basis in arrears. As the Fund is consolidated by the Company, the structured notes issued to the Company are eliminated on consolidation and only the structured notes issued to third party investors remain on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as notes payable to AlphaCat investors, with any related interest included in the Consolidated Statements of (Loss) Income and Comprehensive (Loss) Income as (income) attributable to AlphaCat investors. To the extent that the accrued interest on the structured notes has not been returned to the investors, it is included in accounts payable and accrued expenses in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The following tables present reconciliations of the beginning and ending notes payable to AlphaCat investors during the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017:
The income attributable to AlphaCat investors for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 was $29,849 and $40,711, respectively (2017: $11,830 and $19,333). As at June 30, 2018, amounts due to AlphaCat investors totaling $66,259 (December 31, 2017: $18,054) were included in accounts payable and accrued expenses. BetaCat ILS funds The BetaCat ILS funds follow a passive buy-and-hold investment strategy, investing exclusively in catastrophe bonds (principal-at-risk variable rate notes and other event-linked securities, referred to collectively as “Cat Bonds”) focused on property and casualty risks and issued under Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Two of the three BetaCat ILS funds are VIEs, one of which is consolidated by the Company. The remaining fund is a VOE and is consolidated by the Company as it owns all of the fund’s voting equity interests. The Company’s maximum exposure to any of the funds is the amount of capital invested at any given time. The following table presents the total assets and total liabilities of the Company’s consolidated VIEs, excluding intercompany eliminations, as at June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017:
Assets of consolidated VIEs can only be used to settle obligations and liabilities of the consolidated VIEs and do not have recourse to the general credit of the Company. Investments held by these entities are presented separately in Note 4, “Investments,” as non-managed investments.
The Company invests in private equity and other investment vehicles as part of the Company’s investment portfolio. The activities of these VIEs are generally limited to holding investments and the Company’s involvement in these entities is passive in nature. The Company’s maximum exposure to the VIEs is the amount of capital invested at any given time, and the Company does not have the power to direct the activities which most significantly impact the VIEs economic performance. The Company is therefore not the primary beneficiary of these VIEs. Refer to Note 4, “Investments,” for further details. |

Noncontrolling interest | Noncontrolling interests Investors in certain of the AlphaCat and BetaCat ILS funds have rights that enable them, subject to certain limitations, to redeem their shares. Such investments held by third parties are therefore recorded in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets as redeemable noncontrolling interests, a mezzanine item between liabilities and shareholders’ equity. If and when a redemption notice is received, the fair value of the redemption is reclassified to accounts payable and accrued expenses. The AlphaCat sidecars and one of the AlphaCat ILS funds have no shareholder redemption rights. Therefore, the third party equity is recorded in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets as noncontrolling interests. The following tables present a reconciliation of the beginning and ending balances of redeemable noncontrolling interests and noncontrolling interests for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017:
As at June 30, 2018, redemptions payable of $80,315 (December 31, 2017: $180,104) relating to redeemable noncontrolling interests were included within accounts payable and accrued expenses in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. |

Derivative instruments | Derivative instruments The Company enters into various derivative instruments in the form of foreign currency forward exchange contracts, interest rate swap contracts and weather derivative instruments. These derivative instruments are used to manage exposures to currency and interest rate risks, to enhance the efficiency of the Company’s investment portfolio and to provide protection against cedants’ financial exposure to variability in weather patterns. All of the Company’s outstanding derivative financial instruments are recognized in the Consolidated Balance Sheets at their fair values. The effect on earnings from recognizing the fair values of these derivative financial instruments depends on each instrument’s intended use, hedge designation, and effectiveness in offsetting the exposure it is intended to hedge.
The following tables summarize information on the classification and amount of the fair value of derivatives not designated as hedging instruments within the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets as at June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017:
The foreign currency forward contracts and interest rate swap contracts are valued on the basis of standard industry valuation models. The inputs to these models are based on observable market inputs, and as such the fair values of these contracts are classified as Level 2. The weather derivative contracts are valued on the basis of modeled and other information provided by Validus’ counterparties. Validus reviews this information, which represents Level 3 inputs, as it is ultimately management’s responsibility to ensure that the fair values reflected in the Company’s financial statements are appropriate. The following table summarizes information on the classification and net impact on earnings recognized in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of (Loss) Income and Comprehensive (Loss) Income relating to derivatives that were not designated as hedging instruments during the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017:
Derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedges During 2012 and 2013, the Company entered into several swap agreements with third parties in order to convert the floating interest rates associated with its Junior Subordinated Deferrable Debentures into fixed rates. See Note 13, “Debt and financing arrangements,” for further details. The Company also designates certain foreign exchange contracts as cash flow hedges of anticipated foreign currency-denominated sales or purchases. The following table summarizes information on the classification and amount of the fair value of derivatives designated as hedging instruments on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as at June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017:
The interest rate swap contracts and foreign currency forward contracts are valued on the basis of Level 2 inputs. The following tables provide the total impact on other comprehensive income and earnings relating to the derivative instruments formally designated as cash flow hedges for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017:
There was no balance sheet offsetting activity as at June 30, 2018 or December 31, 2017. The Company provides investments as collateral for interest rate swap contracts and weather derivative contracts. The Company does not provide collateral or financial instruments as security for foreign currency forward contracts. Our derivative instruments are generally traded under International Swaps and Derivatives Association master agreements, which establish terms that apply to all transactions. On a periodic basis, the amounts receivable from or payable to the counterparties are settled in cash. The Company has not elected to settle multiple transactions with an individual counterparty on a net basis. |

Reinsurance | Reinsurance The Company’s reinsurance balances recoverable at June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 were as follows:
The cession of reinsurance does not legally discharge the Company from its primary liability for the full amount of the (re)insurance policies it writes, and the Company is required to pay the loss and bear collection risk regarding reinsurers’ obligations under reinsurance and retrocession agreements. Validus records provisions for uncollectible reinsurance recoverable when collection becomes unlikely due to the reinsurer’s inability to pay. To the extent the creditworthiness of the Company’s reinsurers were to deteriorate due to adverse events affecting the reinsurance industry, such as a large number of major catastrophes, actual uncollectible amounts could be significantly greater than the Company’s provision. Amounts recoverable from reinsurers are estimated in a manner consistent with the underlying loss reserves. The Company evaluates the financial condition of its reinsurers and monitors concentration of credit risk arising from its exposure to individual reinsurers. The reinsurance program is generally placed with reinsurers whose rating, at the time of placement, is A- or better as rated by Standard & Poor’s or the equivalent with other rating agencies. Exposure to a single reinsurer is also controlled with restrictions dependent on rating. As at June 30, 2018, $1,033,890 or 99.1% (December 31, 2017: $1,270,503 or 99.2%) of the Company’s reinsurance balances recoverable were either fully collateralized or recoverable from reinsurers rated A- or better. Information regarding the Company’s concentration of credit risk arising from its exposure to individual reinsurers as at June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 is as follows:
NR: Not rated
At June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the provision for uncollectible reinsurance relating to reinsurance recoverables was $8,003 and $8,848, respectively. |

The Company’s Amended and Restated 2005 Long Term Incentive Plan (“LTIP”) provided for grants to employees of options, stock appreciation rights (“SARs”), restricted shares, restricted share units, performance shares, dividend equivalents or other share-based awards. As at June 30, 2018, the total number of shares reserved for issuance under the LTIP were 2,753,292, of which 479,086 shares were remaining. The LTIP was administered by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors. No SARs were granted. The grant date fair value of each award was established at the fair market value of the Company’s common shares at the date of grant. (i) Options The Company did not grant any stock option awards after September 4, 2009. These stock option awards were fully amortized as at December 31, 2012, and the final options outstanding were exercised during the year ended December 31, 2017. While outstanding, the Company’s options could be exercised for voting common shares upon vesting and had a term of ten years. The fair value of the option awards at the date of grant was determined using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. Expected volatility was based on the stock price volatility of comparable publicly-traded companies. The Company used the simplified method consistent with U.S. GAAP authoritative guidance on stock compensation expenses to estimate expected lives for options granted during the period. Activity with respect to options for the six months ended June 30, 2017 was as follows:
(ii) Restricted share awards Restricted shares granted under the LTIP vested either pro rata or 100% at the end of the required service period and contained certain restrictions during the vesting period, relating to, among other things, forfeiture in the event of termination of employment, and transferability. The Company recognized share compensation expenses in respect of restricted share awards during the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 of $7,190 (2017: $9,745) and $15,303 (2017: $18,789), respectively. The expenses represent the proportionate accrual of the fair value of each grant based on the remaining vesting period. Activity with respect to unvested restricted share awards for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 was as follows:
At June 30, 2018, there were $33,551 (December 31, 2017: $48,907) of total unrecognized share compensation expenses in respect of restricted share awards that are expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.1 years (December 31, 2017: 2.3 years). (iii) Restricted share units Restricted share units under the LTIP vested either ratably or 100% at the end of the required service period and contain certain restrictions during the vesting period, relating to, among other things, forfeiture in the event of termination of employment, and transferability. The Company recognized share compensation expenses in respect of restricted share units during the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 of $284 (2017: $327) and $616 (2017: $642), respectively. The expenses represent the proportionate accrual of the fair value of each grant based on the remaining vesting period. Activity with respect to unvested restricted share units for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 was as follows:
At June 30, 2018, there were $1,319 (December 31, 2017: $1,909) of total unrecognized share compensation expenses in respect of restricted share units that are expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.3 years (December 31, 2017: 2.4 years). (iv) Performance share awards Performance share awards vested three years after the grant date, with the grant date fair value of each share awarded recognized evenly over this period. The number of performance shares initially granted was adjusted via “conversion adjustments” to reflect the compounded growth in the Dividend-Adjusted Book Value per Diluted Share over the three years as determined by the Company’s Compensation Committee. The cumulative compensation expense recognized and unrecognized as at any reporting period date represented the adjusted estimate of performance shares that would ultimately be awarded, valued at their original grant date fair values. The Company recognized share compensation expenses in respect of performance share awards during the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 of $8,566 (2017: $1,074) and $9,850 (2017: $1,206), respectively. The share compensation expenses represent the proportionate accrual of the fair value of each grant based on the remaining vesting period. Activity with respect to unvested performance share awards for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 was as follows:
At June 30, 2018, there were $9,501 (December 31, 2017: $7,813) of total unrecognized share compensation expenses in respect of performance share awards that are expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.6 years (December 31, 2017: 1.9 years).
The breakdown of share compensation expenses by award type for the periods indicated was as follows:

Commitments and contingencies | Commitments and contingencies
The Company operates in Lloyd’s through a corporate member, Talbot 2002 Underwriting Capital Ltd (“T02”), which is the sole participant in Lloyd’s Syndicate 1183 (the “Talbot Syndicate”). Lloyd’s sets T02’s Economic Capital Assessment (“ECA”) annually based on the Talbot Syndicate’s business plan, rating environment and reserving environment together with input arising from Lloyd’s discussions with regulatory and rating agencies, and other parties. This ECA is satisfied by syndicate net assets determined on a basis consistent with Solvency II, an EU directive covering capital adequacy, risk management and regulatory reporting for insurers. Any syndicate net liabilities on a Solvency II basis are required to be funded in addition to the ECA. Such additional funds, known as Funds at Lloyd’s (“FAL”), comprises cash and investments. The Company provided FAL in the amount of $661,600 during the fourth quarter of 2017 (2016: $583,600). The amounts which are provided as FAL are not available for distribution to the Company for the payment of dividends. T02 may also be required to maintain funds under the control of Lloyd’s in excess of its capital requirement and such funds also may not be available for distribution to the Company for the payment of dividends.
Whenever a member of Lloyd’s is unable to pay its debts to policyholders, such debts may be payable by the Lloyd’s Central Fund. If Lloyd’s determines that the Central Fund needs to be increased, it has the power to assess premium levies on current Lloyd’s members up to 3% of a member’s underwriting capacity in any one year. The Company does not believe that any assessment is likely in the foreseeable future and has not provided any allowance for such an assessment. However, based on the Company’s 2018 estimated premium income at Lloyd’s of £650,000, at June 30, 2018 using an exchange rate of £1 equals $1.32 and assuming the maximum 3% assessment, the Company would be assessed approximately $25,740 (December 31, 2017: $26,325).
As at June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the Company had total unfunded investment commitments related to the following:

A description of each of the Company’s reportable segments and its Corporate and Investments function is as follows: Reinsurance Segment The Reinsurance segment operates globally and is primarily focused on treaty reinsurance within the following lines and classes of business:
Insurance Segment The Insurance segment operates globally and focuses on specialty insurance within both the Lloyd’s and the U.S. commercial insurance markets and is focused on a wide range of insurance products within the following lines and classes of business:

Corporate and Investments includes investment income on a managed basis and other non-segment expenses, predominantly general and administrative, stock compensation, finance and transaction expenses.

Corporate and Investments also includes the activities of certain key executives such as the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer. For reporting purposes, Corporate and Investments is reflected separately; however, it is not considered a reportable segment under these circumstances.

Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Basis of preparation | These unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements (the “Consolidated Financial Statements”) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 in Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. In addition, the year-end balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements but does not include all disclosures required by U.S. GAAP. This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and related notes included in Validus Holdings, Ltd.’s (the “Company”) Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017, as filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). In the opinion of management, these unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements reflect all adjustments (including normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair statement of the Company’s financial position and results of operations as at the end of and for the periods presented. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. The results of operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results for a full year. |
Use of estimates | The preparation of these Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. While the amounts included in the Consolidated Financial Statements reflect management’s best estimates and assumptions, actual results could differ from those estimates. The Company’s principal estimates include: •the reserve for losses and loss expenses; •the premium written on a line slip or proportional basis; •the valuation of goodwill and intangible assets; •the loss reserves recoverable, including the provision for uncollectible amounts; and •the valuation of invested assets and other financial instruments. |
Consolidating voting interest entities and variable interest entities | The Company consolidates in these Consolidated Financial Statements the results of operations and financial position of every voting interest entity (“VOE”) in which the Company has a controlling financial interest and variable interest entity (“VIE”) in which the Company is considered to be the primary beneficiary. The consolidation assessment, including the determination as to whether an entity qualifies as a VIE or VOE, depends on the facts and circumstances surrounding each entity. |
