Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] | |
Basis of Presentation | Basis of Presentation The accompanying consolidated financial statements of Argo Group International Holdings, Ltd. (“Argo Group,” “we” or the “Company”) and its subsidiaries have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions for Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Argo Group is an underwriter of specialty insurance and reinsurance products in the property and casualty market. The preparation of interim financial statements in conformity with 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 reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The major estimates reflected in our consolidated financial statements include, but are not limited to, reserves for losses and loss adjustment expenses; reinsurance recoverables, including the reinsurance recoverables allowance for expected credit losses; estimates of written and earned premiums; reinsurance premium receivable; fair value of investments and assessment of potential impairment, including the allowance for credit losses on fixed maturity securities; valuation of goodwill and intangibles and our deferred tax asset valuation allowance. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Certain financial information that normally is included in annual financial statements, including certain financial statement footnotes, prepared in accordance with GAAP, is not required for interim reporting purposes and has been condensed or omitted. These statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") on February 28, 2020. The interim financial information as of, and for the three and nine months ended, September 30, 2020 and 2019 is unaudited. However, in the opinion of management, the interim information includes all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals, necessary for a fair presentation of the results presented for the interim periods. The operating results for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. All significant intercompany amounts have been eliminated in consolidation. Certain reclassifications have been made to financial information presented for prior years to conform to the current year’s presentation. During the first nine months of both 2020 and 2019, we incurred non-recurring costs associated with a number of activities that began with proxy solicitation efforts and shareholder engagement. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, these costs were $3.7 million and $11.7 million, respectively, and were previously included in the line item "Underwriting, Acquisition and Insurance Expenses" in the Consolidated Statements of Income in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019. To conform to the current year's presentation, these amounts have been reclassified out of "Underwriting, acquisition and insurance expenses" and into "Other corporate expenses" in the Consolidated Statements of (Loss) Income herein. Please see Note 12, "Underwriting, Acquisition and Insurance Expenses & Other Corporate Expenses" for further discussion. Sale of Trident Brand and Platform On April 30, 2020, we sold our Trident Public Risk Solutions (“Trident”) brand and underwriting platform to Paragon Insurance Holdings, LLC (“Paragon”) and received $38 million in cash, with additional consideration in future periods depending on performance post-closing. We recognized a pre-tax gain of $32.3 million related to the sale, which is included in "Net realized investment gains (losses)" in our Consolidated Statements of (Loss) Income for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. Trident was one of the business units within our U.S. Operations reporting segment. Paragon will continue to write business on Argo paper through a managing general agency agreement, and we will retain Trident’s claims operations and provide claims services to Paragon for the public entity business. Acquisition of Ariel Indemnity Limited Effective June 12, 2020, Argo Group and our subsidiary Argo Re, Ltd. (“Argo Re”) acquired 100% of the capital stock of Ariel Indemnity Limited (“AIL”) for consideration of $55.6 million. The acquisition of AIL was made pursuant to the former owners (the “Sellers”) of Maybrooke Holdings, S.A. (“Maybrooke”) exercising a put option within the Administrative Services Agreement (“ASA”) between the Company and the Sellers. The ASA was part of the stock purchase agreement between the Company and the Sellers related to our February 6, 2017 acquisition of Maybrooke, the since-liquidated holding company of our Ariel Re platform. The $55.6 million sales price is equal to the 2019 year-end tangible net worth of the AIL, less certain administrative costs. Upon acquiring AIL, we dissolved AIL and merged it into Argo Re. The net assets of AIL are primarily comprised of certain invested assets and receivables, as well as run-off reserves associated with a loss portfolio transfer agreement between AIL and the former Ariel Reinsurance Company, Ltd. ("ARL") legal entity. ARL was merged into Argo Re in December 2017. The acquisition is being accounted for in accordance with ASC 805, “Business Combinations.” Purchase accounting, as defined by ASC 805, requires that the assets acquired, and liabilities assumed be recognized at their fair values as of the acquisition date. We are in the process of finalizing our determination of fair values and, as such, provisional fair value amounts for AIL have been recorded for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020. Based on our initial purchase price allocation, we do not believe that any intangible assets, including goodwill, will be material. We anticipate closing the fair value measurement period by the end of 2020. AIL’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows were not material to our consolidated financial results as of and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020. Risks and Uncertainties Certain risks and uncertainties are inherent to our day-to-day operations. Adverse changes in the economy could lower demand for our insurance products or negatively impact our investment results, both of which could have an adverse effect on the revenue and profitability of our operations. The global COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in and is expected to continue to result in significant disruptions in economic activity and financial markets. The cumulative effects of COVID-19 on the Company, and the effect of any other public health outbreak, cannot be predicted at this time, but could reduce demand for our insurance policies, result in increased level of losses, settlement expenses or other operating costs, reduce the market value of invested assets held by the Company or negatively impact the fair value of our goodwill. Our liquidity and capital resources were not materially impacted by COVID-19 and related economic conditions during the first nine months of 2020. |

Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements & Updates to Accounting Policies | Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements & Updates to Accounting Policies Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2016-13, “Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments” (Topic 326), commonly referred to as current expected credit losses or "CECL." ASU 2016-13 We adopted the updated guidance effective January 1, 2020 using the modified retrospective approach, which resulted in a $7.9 million net of tax reduction to retained earnings. Partially offsetting this reduction of retained earnings was a $5.7 million net of tax increase in other comprehensive income representing the reclassification of unrealized investment losses to credit losses under this accounting update. The cumulative effect adjustment decreased shareholders’ equity $2.2 million. Please see Note 3, “Investments” and Note 4, “Allowance for Credit Losses” for further discussion of the impact of ASU 2016-13 on our financial position and results of operations at and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020. Updates to Accounting Policies The following accounting policies have been updated to reflect the adoption of ASU 2016-13, as described above. Investment Impairments of Available-for-Sale Fixed Maturities We regularly review our investments to identify and evaluate those that may have credit impairments. For fixed maturity securities, the evaluation for credit losses is generally based on the present value of expected cash flows of the security as compared to the amortized book value, the financial condition, near-term and long-term prospects for the issuer, including industry conditions, implications of rating agency actions, the likelihood of principal and interest recoverability and whether it is more likely than not we will be required to sell the investment prior to the anticipated recovery in value. Effective January 1, 2020 with the adoption of ASU 2016-13 Financial Instruments-Credit Losses, we recognize credit losses on fixed maturities through an allowance account. For fixed maturities that we do not intend to sell or for which it is more likely than not we will not be required to sell prior to the anticipated recovery in value, we separate the credit component of the impairment from the component related to all other market factors and report the credit loss component to net realized investment gains (losses) in the Consolidated Statement of Income. The impairment related to all other market factors is reported as a separate component of shareholder’s equity in other comprehensive income (loss). The credit loss allowance account is adjusted for any additional credit losses or subsequent recoveries and the cost basis of the fixed maturity security is not adjusted. For fixed maturity securities that we intend to sell or for which it is more likely than not that we will be required to sell before an anticipated recovery in value, the full amount of the impairment is recognized in net realized investment gains (losses) in the Consolidated Statement of Income and the cost basis of the fixed maturity security is adjusted to reflect the recognized realized loss. The new cost basis is not adjusted for any recoveries in fair value. We report accrued investment income separately from fixed maturity securities and have elected to not measure an allowance for credit losses for accrued investment income. The write-off of investment income accrued for fixed maturities that have defaulted on interest payments is recognized as a loss in net realized investment gains (losses), in the period of the default, in the Consolidated Statement of Income. Reinsurance Recoverables Amounts recoverable from reinsurers are estimated in a manner consistent with the associated claim liability. We report our reinsurance recoverables net of an allowance for estimated uncollectible reinsurance. The allowance is based upon our ongoing review of amounts outstanding, length of collection periods, changes in reinsurer credit standing, disputes, applicable coverage defenses and other relevant factors. We use the rating-based method to estimate the uncollectible reinsurance reserves due to credit losses. Under this method, reinsurance credit risk is estimated by considering the reinsurers probability of default. Reinsurance recoverables are forecasted out of the assumed billing periods and a liquidation factor is applied based on the rating of the reinsurer and adjusted as needed based on our historical experience with the reinsurers. Additionally, reinsurance receivable balances are evaluated to identify any dispute risk and when required, an additional reserve is recorded. Amounts deemed to be uncollectible, including amounts due from known insolvent reinsurers, are written off against the allowance. Changes in the allowance, as well as any subsequent collections of amounts previously written off, are reported as part of underwriting expense. We evaluate and monitor the financial condition of our reinsurers under voluntary reinsurance arrangements to minimize our exposure to significant losses from reinsurer insolvencies. Premiums and Unearned Premium Reserves Premiums are recognized as revenues pro rata over the policy period. Unearned premium reserves represent the unexpired portion of policy premiums. Accrued retrospective premiums are included in premium balances receivable. Premiums receivable balances are reported net of an allowance for expected losses, both dispute and credit related. The allowance is based upon our ongoing review of amounts outstanding, historical loss data, including delinquencies and write-offs, current and forecasted economic conditions and other relevant factors. Credit risk is partially mitigated by our ability to cancel the policy if the policyholder does not pay the premium. |

We hold a total of 5,011 fixed maturity securities, of which 1,411 were in an unrealized loss position for less than one year and 174 were in an unrealized loss position for a period one year or greater as of September 30, 2020. We adopted ASU 2016-13 “Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments” effective January 1, 2020. For fixed maturities for which a decline in the fair value between the amortized cost is due to credit-related factors, an allowance is established for the difference between the estimated recoverable value and amortized cost with a corresponding charge to realized investment losses in the Statement of Income (Loss). The allowance is limited to the difference between amortized cost and fair value. The estimated recoverable value is the present value of cash flows expected to be collected, as determined by management. The difference between fair value and amortized cost that is not associated with credit-related factors is recognized in the Statement of Comprehensive Income (Loss). Accrued interest is excluded from the measurement of the allowance for credit losses. When determining if a credit loss has been incurred, we may consider the historical performance of the security, available market information and security specific considerations such as the priority payment of the security. In addition, inputs used in our analysis include, but are not limited to, credit ratings and downgrades, delinquency rates, missed scheduled interest or principal payments, purchase yields, underlying asset performance, collateral types, modeled default rates, modeled severity rates, call/prepayment rates, expected cash flows, industry concentrations, and potential or filed bankruptcies or restructurings. We evaluate for credit losses each period. If we determine that all or a portion of a fixed maturity is uncollectible, the uncollectible amortized cost is written off with a corresponding reduction to the allowance for credit losses. If we collect cash flows that were previously written off, the recovery is recognized in realized investment gains. We also consider whether we intend to sell an available-for-sale security or if it is more likely than not that we will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost. In these instances, a decline in fair value is recognized in net realized gains (losses) in the Statement of Income based on the fair value of the security at the time of assessment, resulting in a new cost basis for the security. Prior to the adoption of ASU 2016-13, the evaluation for a credit loss was generally based on the present value of expected cash flows of the security as compared to the amortized cost. For structured securities, frequency and severity of loss inputs were used in projecting future cash flows of the securities. Loss frequency was measured on the credit default rate, which included factors such as loan-to-value ratios and credit scores of borrowers. If a determination was made that the unrealized loss was other-than-temporary, a realized loss was recognized in the realized investment losses in the Statement of Income (Loss) and the amortized cost basis of the security was reduced to reflect the loss. The following table presents a roll-forward of the changes in allowance for credit losses on available-for-sale fixed maturities by industry category: Foreign Governments Obligations of states and political subdivisions Corporate bonds Asset backed securities Total Beginning balance, January 1, 2020 $ — $ — $ — $ — $ — Additions-initial adoption of accounting standard — — 6.8 0.1 6.9 Securities for which allowance was not previously recorded 0.3 0.3 14.4 — 15.0 Securities sold during the period (0.2) — (15.5) — (15.7) Additional net increases (decreases) in existing allowance 0.1 (0.1) 26.5 1.0 27.5 Ending balance, September 30, 2020 $ 0.2 $ 0.2 $ 32.2 $ 1.1 $ 33.7 Total credit impairment losses included in net realized investment gains (losses) in the Consolidated Statement of Income was $10.5 million and $43.0 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively. Total other-than-temporary impairment losses included in net realized investments gains (losses) was $5.0 million and $11.8 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively.

The currency forward contracts are carried at fair value in our Consolidated Balance Sheets in “Other liabilities" and "Other assets” at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. The net realized gains and (losses) are included in “Net realized investment (losses) gains” in our Consolidated Statements of (Loss) Income. The fair value of our foreign currency exchange forward contracts as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 was as follows: (in millions) September 30, 2020 December 31, 2019 Operational currency exposure $ (0.7) $ (0.8) Asset manager investment exposure (1.1) (0.3) Total return strategy (0.7) 2.2 Total $ (2.5) $ 1.1 The following table represents our gross investment realized gains and losses on our foreign currency exchange forward contracts: For the Three Months Ended For the Nine Months Ended (in millions) 2020 2019 2020 2019 Realized gains Operational currency exposure $ 4.2 $ 1.3 $ 10.1 $ 2.2 Asset manager investment exposure — 1.8 1.0 3.1 Total return strategy 10.3 6.5 43.5 18.8 Gross realized investment gains 14.5 9.6 54.6 24.1 Realized losses Operational currency exposure (1.8) (3.2) (6.5) (7.8) Asset manager investment exposure (0.9) (0.1) (1.9) (0.6) Total return strategy (10.4) (7.1) (47.0) (15.7) Gross realized investment losses (13.1) (10.4) (55.4) (24.1) Net realized investment (losses) gains on foreign currency exchange forward contracts $ 1.4 $ (0.8) $ (0.8) $ — Regulatory Deposits, Pledged Securities and Letters of Credit We are required to maintain assets on deposit with various regulatory authorities to support our insurance and reinsurance operations. We maintain assets pledged as collateral in support of irrevocable letters of credit issued under the terms of certain reinsurance agreements for reported loss and loss expense reserves. The following table presents our components of restricted assets: (in millions) September 30, 2020 December 31, 2019 Securities on deposit for regulatory and other purposes $ 232.0 $ 192.5 Securities pledged as collateral for letters of credit and other 141.9 169.9 Securities and cash on deposit supporting Lloyd’s business 353.3 412.8 Total restricted investments $ 727.2 $ 775.2 Fair Value Measurements Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Fair value measurement assumes that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability occurs in the principal market for the asset or liability, or in the absence of a principal market, the most advantageous market. Market participants are buyers and sellers in the principal (or most advantageous) market that are independent, knowledgeable, able to transact for the asset or liability and willing to transfer the asset or liability. Valuation techniques consistent with the market approach, income approach and/or cost approach are used to measure fair value. The inputs of these valuation techniques are categorized into three levels. • Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that can be accessed at the reporting date. We define actively traded as a security that has traded in the past seven days. We receive one quote per instrument for Level 1 inputs. • Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. We receive one quote per instrument for Level 2 inputs. • Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs. Unobservable inputs reflect our own judgments about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on the best information available in the circumstances. We receive fair value prices from third-party pricing services and our outside investment managers. These prices are determined using observable market information such as dealer quotes, market spreads, cash flows, yield curves, live trading levels, trade execution data, market consensus prepayment speeds, credit information and the security’s terms and conditions, among other things. We have reviewed the processes used by the third-party providers for pricing the securities and have determined that these processes result in fair values consistent with GAAP requirements. In addition, we review these prices for reasonableness, and have not adjusted any prices received from the third-party providers as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019. A description of the valuation techniques we use to measure assets at fair value is as follows: Fixed Maturities (Available-for-Sale) Levels 1 and 2: • United States Treasury securities are typically valued using Level 1 inputs. For these securities, we obtain fair value measurements from third-party pricing services using quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets at the reporting date. • United States Government agencies, non-U.S. Government securities, obligations of states and political subdivisions, credit securities and foreign denominated government and credit securities are reported at fair value using Level 2 inputs. For these securities, we obtain fair value measurements from third-party pricing services. Observable data may include dealer quotes, market spreads, yield curves, live trading levels, trade execution data, credit information and the security’s terms and conditions, among other things. • Asset and mortgage-backed securities and collateralized loan obligations are reported at fair value using Level 2 inputs. For these securities, we obtain fair value measurements from third-party pricing services. Observable data may include dealer quotes, market spreads, cash flows, yield curves, live trading levels, trade execution data, market consensus prepayment speeds, credit information and the security’s terms and conditions, among other things. Fixed Maturities (Available-for-Sale) Levels 3: We own term loans that are valued using unobservable inputs. Equity Securities Level 1: Equity securities are principally reported at fair value using Level 1 inputs. For these securities, we obtain fair value measurements from a third-party pricing service using quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets at the reporting date. Equity Securities Level 3: We own certain equity securities that are reported at fair value using Level 3 inputs. The valuation techniques for these securities include the following: • Fair value measurements for an investment in an equity fund obtained by applying final prices provided by the administrator of the fund, which is based upon certain estimates and assumptions. • Fair value measurements from brokers and independent valuation services, both based upon estimates, assumptions and other unobservable inputs. Other Investments Level 2: Foreign regulatory deposits are assets held in trust in jurisdictions where there is a legal and regulatory requirement to maintain funds locally in order to protect policyholders. Lloyd’s is the appointed investment manager for the funds. These assets are invested in short-term government securities, agency securities and corporate bonds and are valued using Level 2 inputs based upon values obtained from Lloyd’s. Short-term Investments: Short-term investments are principally reported at fair value using Level 1 inputs, with the exception of short-term corporate and governmental bonds reported at fair value using Level 2 inputs as described in the fixed maturities section above.

Reserves for Losses and Loss Adjustment Expenses | Reserves for Losses and Loss Adjustment Expenses The following table provides a reconciliation of reserves for losses and loss adjustment expenses (“LAE”): For the Nine Months Ended (in millions) 2020 2019 Net reserves beginning of the year $ 2,722.7 $ 2,562.9 Net AIL reserves acquired 27.9 — Add: Losses and LAE incurred during current calendar year, net of reinsurance: Current accident year 876.9 799.9 Prior accident years 6.1 61.6 Losses and LAE incurred during calendar year, net of reinsurance 883.0 861.5 Deduct: Losses and LAE payments made during current calendar year, net of reinsurance: Current accident year 188.2 163.6 Prior accident years 632.7 615.8 Losses and LAE payments made during current calendar year, net of reinsurance: 820.9 779.4 Change in participation interest (1) 33.0 (14.4) Foreign exchange adjustments 23.0 (26.3) Net reserves - end of period 2,868.7 2,604.3 Add: Reinsurance recoverables on unpaid losses and LAE, end of period 2,521.3 2,238.2 Gross reserves - end of period $ 5,390.0 $ 4,842.5 (1) Amount represents the change in reserves due to changing our participation in Syndicates 1200 and 1910. Reserves for losses and LAE represent the estimated indemnity cost and related adjustment expenses necessary to investigate and settle claims. Such estimates are based upon individual case estimates for reported claims, estimates from ceding companies for reinsurance assumed and actuarial estimates for losses that have been incurred but not yet reported to the insurer. Any change in probable ultimate liabilities is reflected in current operating results. Underwriting results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 included net losses and loss adjustment expenses attributed to the COVID-19 pandemic of $16.9 million and $60.5 million, respectively, primarily resulting from contingency and property exposures in the Company’s International Operations and property exposures in its U.S. Operations. Property losses relate to sub-limited affirmative business interruption coverage, primarily in certain International markets, as well as expected costs associated with claims handling. The impact from the unfavorable development of prior accident years’ loss and LAE reserves on each reporting segment is presented below: For the Nine Months Ended (in millions) 2020 2019 U.S. Operations $ (0.5) $ (9.8) International Operations (4.5) 69.5 Run-off Lines 11.1 1.9 Total unfavorable prior-year development $ 6.1 $ 61.6 The following describes the primary factors behind each segment’s prior accident year reserve development for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019: Nine months ended September 30, 2020: • U.S. Operations: Favorable development in surety and commercial multi-peril, partially offset by unfavorable development in general liability, special property and commercial auto liability. • International Operations: Favorable development in property, specialty and reinsurance, partially offset by unfavorable development in general liability and surety lines. • Run-off Lines: Unfavorable loss reserve development on prior accident years in asbestos and environmental driven by asbestos claims remaining open longer than expected, higher defense costs and movement on individual environmental claims as well as unfavorable development in other run-off lines, partially offset by favorable development in risk management workers compensation. Nine months ended September 30, 2019: • U.S. Operations: Favorable development in general liability and specialty lines, partially offset by unfavorable development in professional and property lines. • International Operations: Unfavorable development was primarily concentrated in liability and professional lines. The charges impacted our Bermuda casualty and professional divisions, and to a lesser extent our European and Syndicate 1200 operations. The charges stemmed from public utility business in our Bermuda casualty division, which we previously exited, as well as updated estimates on a number of other claims based on new information received in the second and third quarters of 2019. As it relates to Europe, the adverse development primarily related to certain cover-holders whose contracts were previously terminated or where aggressive remedial underwriting actions have been taken. As it relates to Syndicate 1200, the adverse development largely related to businesses that we have previously exited or where aggressive remedial underwriting actions have been taken. The International Operations unfavorable development includes $68.7 million recognized during the second and third quarters of 2019. This unfavorable development was primarily due to obtaining additional information on several individual claims, including investigations regarding causes of the incidents leading to the losses, reports provided by outside counsel, audits of the underlying losses and recent court decisions, settlements and jury awards. The result was an increase in the number of claims with the potential for underlying losses to reach our attachment point, particularly within our Bermuda Operations. The unfavorable development in the second and third quarters of 2019 was also attributable to the results of ongoing audits, underwriting reviews, and updated data from third-party cover-holders, which included the identification of differences from original expectations with regard to the classes written, the distribution of writings by geography, and the rates charged by the cover-holders. Adverse development in Syndicate 1200 related to large claims involving the marine and energy and liability divisions. Losses on small and medium enterprise package business were also higher than expected. • Run-off Lines: Unfavorable development in other run-off lines, partially offset by favorable development in risk management workers compensation. In the opinion of management, our reserves represent the best estimate of our ultimate liabilities, based on currently known facts, current law, current technology and reasonable assumptions where facts are not known. Due to the significant uncertainties and related management judgments, there can be no assurance that future favorable or unfavorable loss development, which may be material, will not occur. The spread of COVID-19 and related economic shutdown has increased the uncertainty that is always present in our estimate of the ultimate cost of loss and settlement expense. Actuarial models base future emergence on historic experience, with adjustments for current trends, and the appropriateness of these assumptions involved more uncertainty as of September 30, 2020. We expect there will be impacts to the timing of loss emergence and ultimate loss ratios for certain coverages we underwrite. The industry is experiencing new issues, including the temporary suspension of civil court cases in most states, the extension of certain statutes of limitations and the impact on our insureds from a significant reduction in economic activity. Our booked reserves include consideration of these factors, but legislative, regulatory or judicial actions could result in loss reserve deficiencies and reduce earnings in future periods. |

Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments | Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments Cash. The carrying amount approximates fair value. Investment securities and short-term investments. See Note 3, “Investments,” for additional information. Premiums receivable and reinsurance recoverables on paid losses. The carrying value of current receivables and reinsurance recoverables on paid losses approximates fair value. Debt. At September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the fair value of our debt instruments is determined using both Level 1 and Level 2 inputs, as previously defined in Note 3, "Investments". We receive fair value prices from third-party pricing services for our financial instruments as well as for similar financial instruments. These prices are determined using observable market information such as publicly traded quoted prices, and trading prices for similar financial instruments actively being traded in the current market. We have reviewed the processes used by the third-party providers for pricing the securities and have determined that these processes result in fair values consistent with GAAP requirements. In addition, we review these prices for reasonableness, and have not adjusted any prices received from the third-party providers as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019. A description of the valuation techniques we use to measure these liabilities at fair value is as follows: Senior Unsecured Fixed Rate Notes Level 1: • Our senior unsecured fixed rate notes are valued using Level 1 inputs. For these securities, we obtain fair value measurements from a third-party pricing service using quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets at the reporting date. Junior Subordinated Debentures and Floating Rate Loan Stock Level 2: • Our trust preferred debentures, subordinated debentures and floating rate loan stock are typically valued using Level 2 inputs. For these securities, we obtain fair value measurements from a third-party pricing service using quoted prices for similar securities being traded in active markets at the reporting date, as our specific debt instruments are more infrequently traded. A summary of our financial instruments whose carrying value did not equal fair value is shown below: September 30, 2020 December 31, 2019 (in millions) Carrying Fair Carrying Fair Junior subordinated debentures: Trust preferred debentures $ 172.7 $ 173.6 $ 172.7 $ 174.0 Subordinated debentures 85.0 92.3 84.7 92.5 Total junior subordinated debentures 257.7 265.9 257.4 266.5 Senior unsecured fixed rate notes 140.1 147.3 140.0 144.2 Floating rate loan stock 59.1 59.5 56.3 56.8 Based on an analysis of the inputs, our financial instruments measured at fair value on a recurring basis have been categorized as follows: Fair Value Measurements at Reporting Date Using (in millions) September 30, 2020 Level 1 (a) Level 2 (b) Level 3 (c) Junior subordinated debentures: Trust preferred debentures $ 173.6 $ — $ 173.6 $ — Subordinated debentures 92.3 — 92.3 — Total junior subordinated debentures 265.9 — 265.9 — Senior unsecured fixed rate notes 147.3 147.3 — — Floating rate loan stock 59.5 — 59.5 — 472.7 147.3 325.4 — (a) Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets (b) Significant other observable inputs (c) Significant unobservable inputs Fair Value Measurements at Reporting Date Using (in millions) December 31, 2019 Level 1 (a) Level 2 (b) Level 3 (c) Junior subordinated debentures: Trust preferred debentures $ 174.0 $ — $ 174.0 $ — Subordinated debentures 92.5 — 92.5 — Total junior subordinated debentures 266.5 — 266.5 — Senior unsecured fixed rate notes 144.2 144.2 — — Floating rate loan stock 56.8 — 56.8 — 467.5 144.2 323.3 — (a) Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets (b) Significant other observable inputs (c) Significant unobservable inputs |

Share-based Payment Arrangement [Abstract] | |
Share-based Compensation | Share-based Compensation Argo Group’s 2019 Omnibus Incentive Plan In May 2019, our shareholders approved the 2019 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “2019 Plan”), which provides equity-based and cash-based performance-related incentives to key employees, non-employee directors and other service providers. The intent of the 2019 Plan is to encourage and provide for the acquisition of an ownership interest in Argo Group, enabling us to attract and retain qualified and competent persons to serve as members of our management team and the Board of Directors. The 2019 Plan authorizes 1,885,000 common shares to be granted as equity-based awards. No further grants will be made under any prior plan; however, any awards under a prior plan that are outstanding as of the effective date shall remain subject to the terms and conditions of, and be governed by, such prior plan. Awards granted under the 2019 Plan may be in the form of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock awards, restricted stock unit awards, performance awards, other stock-based awards or other cash-based awards. Awards may be granted either alone or in addition to or in tandem with other awards authorized under the 2019 Plan. Awards that are settled in stock will count as one share for the purposes of reducing the share reserve under the 2019 Plan. Shares issued under this plan may be shares that are authorized and unissued or shares that we reacquired, including shares purchased on the open market. Stock options and stock appreciation rights are required to have an exercise price that is not less than the fair market value on the date of grant. The term of these awards is not to exceed ten years. Restricted Shares A summary of restricted share activity as of September 30, 2020 and changes during the nine months then ended is as follows: Shares Weighted-Average Outstanding at January 1, 2020 471,271 $ 60.09 Granted 399,578 $ 32.53 Vested and issued (175,321) $ 51.22 Expired or forfeited (134,676) $ 52.00 Outstanding at September 30, 2020 560,852 $ 43.61 The restricted shares vest over one Expense recognized under this plan for the restricted shares was $1.7 million and $6.9 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively, as compared to $3.2 million and $10.5 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively. Compensation expense for all share-based compensation awards is included in “Underwriting, acquisition and insurance expenses” in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of (Loss) Income. As of September 30, 2020, there was $18.4 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to restricted share compensation arrangements granted by Argo Group.

We have received an undertaking from the Supervisor of Insurance in Bermuda pursuant to the provisions of the Exempted Undertakings Tax Protection Act, 2011, which exempts us from any Bermuda taxes computed on profits, income or any capital asset, gain or appreciation or any tax in the nature of estate, duty or inheritance tax, at least until the year 2035. We do not consider ourselves to be engaged in a trade or business in the United States or the United Kingdom and, accordingly, do not expect to be subject to direct United States or United Kingdom income taxation. We have subsidiaries based in the United Kingdom that are subject to the tax laws of that country. Under current law, these subsidiaries are taxed at the applicable corporate tax rates. Certain of the United Kingdom subsidiaries are deemed to be engaged in business in the United States, and therefore, are subject to United States corporate tax in respect of a proportion of their United States underwriting business only. Relief is available against the United Kingdom tax liabilities in respect of overseas taxes paid that arise from the underwriting business. Our United Kingdom subsidiaries file separate United Kingdom income tax returns. We have subsidiaries based in the United States that are subject to United States tax laws. Under current law, these subsidiaries are taxed at the applicable corporate tax rates. Our United States subsidiaries generally file a consolidated United States federal income tax return. We also have operations in Belgium, Brazil, France, Ireland, Italy, Malta, Spain, and Switzerland, which also are subject to income taxes imposed by the jurisdiction in which they operate. We have operations in Barbados and the United Arab Emirates, which are not subject to income tax under the laws of those countries. Our expected income tax provision computed on pre-tax income (loss) at the weighted average tax rate has been calculated as the sum of the pre-tax income (loss) in each jurisdiction multiplied by that jurisdiction’s applicable statutory tax rate. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, pre-tax income (loss) attributable to our operations and the corresponding operations’ effective tax rates were as follows: For the Three Months Ended September 30, 2020 2019 (in millions) Pre-Tax Effective Pre-Tax Effective Bermuda $ 2.4 — % $ (7.8) — % United States 7.4 81.6 % 7.7 16.4 % United Kingdom (38.1) 15.4 % (17.9) 13.1 % Belgium 0.2 22.8 % (0.1) 28.6 % Brazil 0.3 — % 1.2 — % United Arab Emirates 0.4 — % — (1) — % Ireland — (1) — % — (1) — % Italy (0.9) — % (3.6) — % Malta (1.1) — % (5.6) — % Switzerland — (1) — % (0.1) 1.0 % Pre-tax loss $ (29.4) (0.7) % $ (26.2) 4.1 % (1) Pre-tax income (loss) for the respective year was less than $0.1 million. For the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2020 2019 Pre-Tax Effective Pre-Tax Effective Bermuda $ (50.3) — % $ 39.1 — % United States 64.6 24.7 % 99.5 14.6 % United Kingdom (65.6) 9.9 % (30.3) 19.2 % Belgium 0.2 25.3 % (0.4) 29.4 % Brazil 3.2 — % 5.0 — % United Arab Emirates 1.8 — % 0.3 — % Ireland (0.1) — % (0.1) — % Italy 0.7 — % (4.1) — % Malta 0.2 — % (5.4) — % Switzerland — (1) — % (0.1) 0.9 % Pre-tax (loss) income $ (45.3) (21.0) % $ 103.5 8.4 % (1) Pre-tax income (loss) for the respective year was less than $0.1 million. Our effective tax rate may vary significantly from period to period depending on the jurisdiction generating the pre-tax income (loss) and its corresponding statutory tax rate. The geographic distribution of pre-tax income (loss) can fluctuate significantly between periods given the inherit nature of our business. A reconciliation of the difference between the provision for income taxes and the expected tax provision at the weighted average tax rate is as follows: For the Three Months Ended For the Nine Months Ended (in millions) 2020 2019 2020 2019 Income tax provision (benefit) at expected rate $ (6.5) $ (4.1) $ 2.8 $ 14.4 Tax effect of: Nontaxable investment income (0.2) (0.4) (0.5) (1.1) Foreign exchange adjustments 0.7 0.7 0.1 1.3 Goodwill — (1) — 1.0 — Withholding taxes — (1) — (1) 0.1 0.2 Prior period adjustments 0.9 — (1) 0.9 (1.8) Change in uncertain tax position liability 2.7 — 2.7 — Change in valuation allowance 1.2 2.2 1.2 1.6 Other 1.4 0.5 1.2 (6.0) Income tax provision (benefit) $ 0.2 $ (1.1) $ 9.5 $ 8.6 (1) Tax effect of the adjustment for the respective year was less than $0.1 million. Our gross deferred tax assets are supported by taxes paid in previous periods, reversal of taxable temporary differences and recognition of future taxable income. Management regularly evaluates the recoverability of the deferred tax assets and makes any necessary adjustments to them based upon any changes in management’s expectations of future taxable income. Realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon our generation of future taxable income sufficient to recover tax benefits that cannot be recovered from taxes paid in the carryback period, generally for our U.S. property and casualty insurers two years for net operating losses and for all our U.S. subsidiaries three years for capital losses. If a company determines that any of its deferred tax assets will not result in future tax benefits, a valuation allowance must be established for the portion of these assets that are not expected to be realized. The net change in valuation allowance for deferred tax assets was an increase of $1.2 million in 2020, relating to the following: Internal Revenue Code Section 382 limited net operating loss carryforwards within the United States, cumulative losses incurred since inception, and valuation allowances acquired through or related to acquisitions. Based upon a review of our available evidence, both positive and negative discussed above, our management concluded that it is more-likely-than-not that the other deferred tax assets will be realized. For any uncertain tax positions not meeting the “more-likely-than-not” recognition threshold, accounting standards require recognition, measurement and disclosure in a company’s financial statements. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company recorded uncertain tax positions in the amount of $2.7 million. Related interest in the amount of $0.5 million has been recorded in the line item “Interest expense” in our Consolidated Statements of (Loss) Income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 . Our United States subsidiaries are no longer subject to U.S. federal and state income tax examinations by tax authorities for years before 2015. Our United Kingdom subsidiaries are no longer subject to United Kingdom income tax examinations by Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs for years before 2016. Numerous foreign jurisdictions in which we operate have provided or proposed income-tax relief in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Within the U.S., the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Securities Act (the “CARES Act”) was enacted on March 27, 2020. The Company does not anticipate the CARES Act to have a material impact on its financial statements and will continue to analyze it and other income-tax relief measures in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. |

Segment Reporting [Abstract] | |
Segment Information | Segment Information We are primarily engaged in underwriting property and casualty insurance and reinsurance. We have two ongoing reporting segments: U.S. Operations and International Operations. Additionally, we have a Run-off Lines segment for certain products that we no longer underwrite. We consider many factors, including the nature of each segment’s insurance and reinsurance products, production sources, distribution strategies and the regulatory environment, in determining how to aggregate reporting segments. Transactions between segments are reported in the segment that initiated the transaction. In evaluating the operating performance of our segments, we focus on core underwriting and investing results before the consideration of realized gains or losses from investments. Realized investment gains are reported as a component of the Corporate and Other segment, as decisions regarding the acquisition and disposal of securities reside with the corporate investment function and are not under the control of the individual business segments. Identifiable assets by segment are those assets used in the operation of each segment. Revenue and (loss) income before income taxes for each segment were as follows: For the Three Months Ended For the Nine Months Ended (in millions) 2020 2019 2020 2019 Revenue: Earned premiums U.S. Operations $ 298.7 $ 290.8 $ 902.8 $ 848.6 International Operations 146.7 160.7 410.8 455.0 Run-off Lines 0.1 — 0.3 0.1 Total earned premiums 445.5 451.5 1,313.9 1,303.7 Net investment income U.S. Operations 30.1 27.4 56.1 80.1 International Operations 9.9 10.7 19.0 31.3 Run-off Lines 1.5 1.7 2.8 4.4 Corporate and Other 0.5 0.4 1.1 1.1 Total net investment income 42.0 40.2 79.0 116.9 Fee and other income 1.7 1.9 5.8 6.3 Net realized investment (losses) gains (5.7) (6.2) (21.7) 58.3 Total revenue $ 483.5 $ 487.4 $ 1,377.0 $ 1,485.2 For the Three Months Ended For the Nine Months Ended (in millions) 2020 2019 2020 2019 Income (loss) before income taxes U.S. Operations $ 20.1 $ 42.2 $ 88.2 $ 138.3 International Operations (14.7) (52.9) (54.5) (57.7) Run-off Lines (10.2) 0.7 (11.0) 0.2 Total segment (loss) income before taxes (4.8) (10.0) 22.7 80.8 Corporate and Other (6.9) (7.9) (25.1) (30.1) Net realized investment and other (losses) gains (5.7) (6.2) (21.7) 58.3 Foreign currency exchange (losses) gains (11.6) 1.6 (15.0) 6.2 Other corporate expenses (0.4) (3.7) (6.2) (11.7) Total (loss) income before income taxes $ (29.4) $ (26.2) $ (45.3) $ 103.5 The table below presents earned premiums by geographic location for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019.

Debt Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Senior Unsecured Fixed Rate Notes | Senior Unsecured Fixed Rate Notes In September 2012, Argo Group (the “Parent Guarantor”), through its subsidiary Argo Group US (the “Subsidiary Issuer”), issued $143,750,000 aggregate principal amount of the Subsidiary Issuer’s 6.5% Senior Notes due September 15, 2042 (the “Notes”). The Notes are unsecured and unsubordinated obligations of the Subsidiary Issuer and rank equally in right of payment with all of the Subsidiary Issuer’s other unsecured and unsubordinated debt. The Notes are guaranteed on a full and unconditional senior unsecured basis by the Parent Guarantor. The Notes may be redeemed, for cash, in whole or in part, on or after September 15, 2017, at the Subsidiary Issuer’s option, at any time and from time to time, prior to maturity at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued but unpaid interest on the principal amount being redeemed to, but not including, the redemption date. In accordance with ASU 2015-3, “Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs” (Topic 835), we present the unamortized debt issuance costs in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying value of the debt liability. At September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Notes consisted of the following: (in millions) September 30, 2020 December 31, 2019 Senior unsecured fixed rate notes Principal $ 143.8 $ 143.8 Less: unamortized debt issuance costs (3.7) (3.8) Senior unsecured fixed rate notes, less unamortized debt issuance costs $ 140.1 $ 140.0 In accordance with Article 10 of SEC Regulation S-X, we have elected to present condensed consolidating financial information in lieu of separate financial statements for the Subsidiary Issuer.

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] | |
Basis of Presentation | Basis of Presentation The accompanying consolidated financial statements of Argo Group International Holdings, Ltd. (“Argo Group,” “we” or the “Company”) and its subsidiaries have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions for Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Argo Group is an underwriter of specialty insurance and reinsurance products in the property and casualty market. The preparation of interim financial statements in conformity with 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 reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The major estimates reflected in our consolidated financial statements include, but are not limited to, reserves for losses and loss adjustment expenses; reinsurance recoverables, including the reinsurance recoverables allowance for expected credit losses; estimates of written and earned premiums; reinsurance premium receivable; fair value of investments and assessment of potential impairment, including the allowance for credit losses on fixed maturity securities; valuation of goodwill and intangibles and our deferred tax asset valuation allowance. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Certain financial information that normally is included in annual financial statements, including certain financial statement footnotes, prepared in accordance with GAAP, is not required for interim reporting purposes and has been condensed or omitted. These statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") on February 28, 2020. The interim financial information as of, and for the three and nine months ended, September 30, 2020 and 2019 is unaudited. However, in the opinion of management, the interim information includes all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals, necessary for a fair presentation of the results presented for the interim periods. The operating results for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. All significant intercompany amounts have been eliminated in consolidation. Certain reclassifications have been made to financial information presented for prior years to conform to the current year’s presentation. |
Reclassification | Certain reclassifications have been made to financial information presented for prior years to conform to the current year’s presentation. |
Acquisition | The acquisition is being accounted for in accordance with ASC 805, “Business Combinations.” Purchase accounting, as defined by ASC 805, requires that the assets acquired, and liabilities assumed be recognized at their fair values as of the acquisition date. |
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements and Updates to Accounting Policies | Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2016-13, “Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments” (Topic 326), commonly referred to as current expected credit losses or "CECL." ASU 2016-13 We adopted the updated guidance effective January 1, 2020 using the modified retrospective approach, which resulted in a $7.9 million net of tax reduction to retained earnings. Partially offsetting this reduction of retained earnings was a $5.7 million net of tax increase in other comprehensive income representing the reclassification of unrealized investment losses to credit losses under this accounting update. The cumulative effect adjustment decreased shareholders’ equity $2.2 million. Please see Note 3, “Investments” and Note 4, “Allowance for Credit Losses” for further discussion of the impact of ASU 2016-13 on our financial position and results of operations at and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020. Updates to Accounting Policies The following accounting policies have been updated to reflect the adoption of ASU 2016-13, as described above. Investment Impairments of Available-for-Sale Fixed Maturities We regularly review our investments to identify and evaluate those that may have credit impairments. For fixed maturity securities, the evaluation for credit losses is generally based on the present value of expected cash flows of the security as compared to the amortized book value, the financial condition, near-term and long-term prospects for the issuer, including industry conditions, implications of rating agency actions, the likelihood of principal and interest recoverability and whether it is more likely than not we will be required to sell the investment prior to the anticipated recovery in value. Effective January 1, 2020 with the adoption of ASU 2016-13 Financial Instruments-Credit Losses, we recognize credit losses on fixed maturities through an allowance account. For fixed maturities that we do not intend to sell or for which it is more likely than not we will not be required to sell prior to the anticipated recovery in value, we separate the credit component of the impairment from the component related to all other market factors and report the credit loss component to net realized investment gains (losses) in the Consolidated Statement of Income. The impairment related to all other market factors is reported as a separate component of shareholder’s equity in other comprehensive income (loss). The credit loss allowance account is adjusted for any additional credit losses or subsequent recoveries and the cost basis of the fixed maturity security is not adjusted. For fixed maturity securities that we intend to sell or for which it is more likely than not that we will be required to sell before an anticipated recovery in value, the full amount of the impairment is recognized in net realized investment gains (losses) in the Consolidated Statement of Income and the cost basis of the fixed maturity security is adjusted to reflect the recognized realized loss. The new cost basis is not adjusted for any recoveries in fair value. We report accrued investment income separately from fixed maturity securities and have elected to not measure an allowance for credit losses for accrued investment income. The write-off of investment income accrued for fixed maturities that have defaulted on interest payments is recognized as a loss in net realized investment gains (losses), in the period of the default, in the Consolidated Statement of Income. Reinsurance Recoverables Amounts recoverable from reinsurers are estimated in a manner consistent with the associated claim liability. We report our reinsurance recoverables net of an allowance for estimated uncollectible reinsurance. The allowance is based upon our ongoing review of amounts outstanding, length of collection periods, changes in reinsurer credit standing, disputes, applicable coverage defenses and other relevant factors. We use the rating-based method to estimate the uncollectible reinsurance reserves due to credit losses. Under this method, reinsurance credit risk is estimated by considering the reinsurers probability of default. Reinsurance recoverables are forecasted out of the assumed billing periods and a liquidation factor is applied based on the rating of the reinsurer and adjusted as needed based on our historical experience with the reinsurers. Additionally, reinsurance receivable balances are evaluated to identify any dispute risk and when required, an additional reserve is recorded. Amounts deemed to be uncollectible, including amounts due from known insolvent reinsurers, are written off against the allowance. Changes in the allowance, as well as any subsequent collections of amounts previously written off, are reported as part of underwriting expense. We evaluate and monitor the financial condition of our reinsurers under voluntary reinsurance arrangements to minimize our exposure to significant losses from reinsurer insolvencies. Premiums and Unearned Premium Reserves Premiums are recognized as revenues pro rata over the policy period. Unearned premium reserves represent the unexpired portion of policy premiums. Accrued retrospective premiums are included in premium balances receivable. Premiums receivable balances are reported net of an allowance for expected losses, both dispute and credit related. The allowance is based upon our ongoing review of amounts outstanding, historical loss data, including delinquencies and write-offs, current and forecasted economic conditions and other relevant factors. Credit risk is partially mitigated by our ability to cancel the policy if the policyholder does not pay the premium. |
