Reinsurance [Abstract]
Reinsurance	Reinsurance The Company’s wholly-owned Luxembourg subsidiary, Hollenfels Re SA (“Hollenfels”) provides reinsurance to third party insurance and reinsurance companies. As Hollenfels started its operations during 2016, all claims it experienced (reported or not reported) began in 2016. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, Hollenfels’s share of incurred and paid claims, as reported to it by the underlying insurance and reinsurance companies, amounted to $1.9 million and $9.6 million, respectively. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, Hollenfels’ share of incurred and paid claims, as reported to it by the underlying insurance and reinsurance companies, amounted to $1.5 million and $2.6 million, respectively. During the same periods in 2018, Hollenfels’ share of claims incurred but not reported plus expected development on reported claims totaled $0.5 million and $9.0 million, respectively. Hollenfels generally employs an estimation methodology whereby historical average claims ratios over a period of 5 or 10 years, based on availability of data, are utilized. In cases where an event may have occurred that could give rise to claims in excess of the amount calculated using the above-mentioned methodology, then actuarial methods are used to calculate the impact of such an event. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, Hollenfels did not change its methodology for determining claim liability or claim adjustment expenses and calculated them using the above-mentioned methods. While Hollenfels typically settles its premiums and claim payments on a quarterly basis, the frequency of claims in the underlying policies is impractical for Hollenfels to obtain. This is because certain contracts Hollenfels has written are on a quota-share basis while the other policies provide aggregate loss protection, rendering the collection of information for all underlying contracts impracticable. Hollenfels did not discount any of its reserves and did not cede any portion of its exposures during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 and September 30, 2017.
