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. and its subsidiaries (“Argo Group,” “we,” “us,” “our” or the “Company”) 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 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 materially differ from those estimates. Certain financial information that is normally 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 and Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2021 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") (collectively, “2021 Form 10-K”). The interim financial information as of, and for, the three months ended, March 31, 2022 and 2021 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. Sale of Argo Seguros Brasil S.A. On February 15, 2022, we completed the sale of our Brazilian operations, Argo Seguros Brasil S.A. (“Argo Seguros”), to Spice Private Equity Ltd., an investment company focused on global private equity investments, for a purchase price of 160 million Brazilian Reais (approximately $30.5 million), subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the purchase agreement. Argo Seguros is one of the units within our International Operations reporting segment. As a result, we realized a loss on the sale of Argo Seguros of $28.5 million, which is included as a component of Net realized investment and other gains (losses) in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income (Loss). This loss was primarily attributable to the realization of historical foreign currency translation, which was previously a component of accumulated other comprehensive income. We previously recognized a $6.3 million loss during 2021 as we adjusted the carrying value of Argo Seguros to its fair value. |

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 Condensed Consolidated Statements 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 quarter. 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 investment and other gains (losses) in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income (Loss) based on the fair value of the security at the time of assessment, resulting in a new cost basis for the security. The following table presents a roll-forward of the changes in allowance for credit losses on available-for-sale fixed maturities by industry category for the three months ending March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively: (in millions) Foreign Governments Obligations of states and political subdivisions Corporate bonds Asset backed securities Total Beginning balance, January 1, 2022 $ 0.2 $ — $ 2.2 $ 0.1 $ 2.5 Securities for which allowance was not previously recorded 0.1 — 0.4 — 0.5 Securities sold during the period — — (0.6) — (0.6) Additional net increases (decreases) in existing allowance — 0.4 0.1 — 0.5 Ending balance, March 31, 2022 $ 0.3 $ 0.4 $ 2.1 $ 0.1 $ 2.9 (in millions) Foreign Governments Obligations of states and political subdivisions Corporate bonds Asset backed securities Total Beginning balance, January 1, 2021 $ 0.2 $ 0.1 $ 6.1 $ 0.2 $ 6.6 Securities for which allowance was not previously recorded — — 2.1 — 2.1 Securities sold during the period — — (0.4) — (0.4) Additional net increases (decreases) in existing allowance (0.1) (0.1) (0.7) (0.2) (1.1) Ending balance, March 31, 2021 $ 0.1 $ — $ 7.1 $ — $ 7.2 Total credit impairment (gains) losses included in Net realized investment and other gains (losses) in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income (Loss) was $1.0 million and $1.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

The following table presents our components of restricted assets: (in millions) March 31, 2022 December 31, 2021 Securities on deposit for regulatory and other purposes $ 177.0 $ 195.6 Securities pledged as collateral for letters of credit and other 185.4 193.9 Securities and cash on deposit supporting Lloyd’s business (1) 290.9 296.8 Total restricted investments $ 653.3 $ 686.3 (1) Argo Group is required to maintain Funds at Lloyd’s (“FAL”) to support it business for Syndicate 1200 and Syndicate 1910. At March 31, 2022 the amount pledged for FAL was $290.9 million, of which $137.6 million was provided by Argo Re Ltd. Fair Value Measurements Fair value is the price that would be received upon the sale of 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 March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021. 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 or Level 3 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. Values for the investments categorized as Level 1 are obtained from various financial institutions as of the reporting date. Based on an analysis of the inputs, our financial assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis have been categorized as follows: Fair Value Measurements at Reporting Date Using (in millions) March 31, Level 1 (a) Level 2 (b) Level 3 (c) Fixed maturities U.S. Governments $ 479.5 $ 472.2 $ 7.3 $ — Foreign Governments 207.5 — 207.5 — Obligations of states and political subdivisions 166.6 — 166.6 — Corporate bonds 1,930.3 — 1,915.3 15.0 Commercial mortgage-backed securities 400.2 — 400.2 — Residential mortgage-backed securities 430.8 — 430.8 — Asset-backed securities 200.5 — 179.3 21.2 Collateralized loan obligations 328.5 — 328.5 — Total fixed maturities 4,143.9 472.2 3,635.5 36.2 Equity securities 54.0 36.4 — 17.6 Other investments 84.0 — 84.0 — Short-term investments 421.1 419.9 1.2 — $ 4,703.0 $ 928.5 $ 3,720.7 $ 53.8 (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, Level 1 (a) Level 2 (b) Level 3 (c) Fixed maturities U.S. Governments $ 425.0 $ 417.4 $ 7.6 $ — Foreign Governments 232.8 — 232.8 — Obligations of states and political subdivisions 171.3 — 171.3 — Corporate bonds 1,983.3 — 1,980.5 2.8 Commercial mortgage-backed securities 418.7 — 418.7 — Residential mortgage-backed securities 482.5 — 482.5 — Asset-backed securities 173.6 — 173.6 — Collateralized loan obligations 336.1 — 336.1 — Total fixed maturities 4,223.3 417.4 3,803.1 2.8 Equity securities 56.3 41.6 — 14.7 Other investments 75.4 — 75.4 — Short-term investments 655.8 653.9 1.9 — $ 5,010.8 $ 1,112.9 $ 3,880.4 $ 17.5 (a) Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets (b) Significant other observable inputs (c) Significant unobservable inputs The fair value measurements in the tables above do not equal Total investments on our Consolidated Balance Sheets as they exclude certain other investments that are accounted for under the equity-method of accounting.

(2) Amount represents reserves ceded under the reinsurance to close transaction with RiverStone for Lloyd’s years of account 2017 and prior, effective January 1, 2021. (3) 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. The impact from the (favorable) unfavorable development of prior accident years’ loss and LAE reserves on each reporting segment is presented below: For the Three Months Ended (in millions) 2022 2021 U.S. Operations $ 5.0 $ (0.4) International Operations (3.0) — Run-off Lines 1.4 1.4 Total (favorable) unfavorable prior-year development $ 3.4 $ 1.0 The following describes the primary factors behind each segment’s prior accident year reserve development for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021: Three months ended March 31, 2022: • U.S. Operations : Unfavorable development primarily related to liability lines, including the impact of large losses, partially offset by favorable development in specialty lines. • International Operations : Favorable development primarily related to catastrophe losses and Europe liability losses partially offset by unfavorable development in liability and professional losses from our Bermuda insurance operations. • Run-off Lines: Unfavorable loss reserve development on prior accident years in other run-off lines. Three months ended March 31, 2021: • U.S. Operations : Favorable development primarily in specialty lines, partially offset by unfavorable development in liability and professional lines. • International Operations : Unfavorable development primarily related to a one-time accounting adjustment and large claim movements in Argo Insurance Bermuda, partially offset by favorable development in property lines, including losses associated with prior year catastrophe losses. • Run-off Lines: Unfavorable loss reserve development on prior accident years in risk management workers compensation, other run-off lines and an individual environmental loss. 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. |

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 March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, 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 March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021. 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: March 31, 2022 December 31, 2021 (in millions) Carrying Fair Carrying Fair Junior subordinated debentures: Trust preferred debentures $ 172.7 $ 173.2 $ 172.7 $ 172.9 Subordinated debentures 85.6 92.1 85.5 91.9 Total junior subordinated debentures 258.3 265.3 258.2 264.8 Senior unsecured fixed rate notes 140.4 144.1 140.3 148.4 Floating rate loan stock 57.3 57.4 57.0 57.1 $ 456.0 $ 466.8 $ 455.5 $ 470.3 Based on an analysis of the inputs, our financial instruments measured at fair value for disclosure purposes have been categorized as follows: Fair Value Measurements at Reporting Date Using (in millions) March 31, 2022 Level 1 (a) Level 2 (b) Level 3 (c) Junior subordinated debentures: Trust preferred debentures $ 173.2 $ — $ 173.2 $ — Subordinated debentures 92.1 — 92.1 — Total junior subordinated debentures 265.3 — 265.3 — Senior unsecured fixed rate notes 144.1 144.1 — — Floating rate loan stock 57.4 — 57.4 — $ 466.8 $ 144.1 $ 322.7 $ — (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, 2021 Level 1 (a) Level 2 (b) Level 3 (c) Junior subordinated debentures: Trust preferred debentures $ 172.9 $ — $ 172.9 $ — Subordinated debentures 91.9 — 91.9 — Total junior subordinated debentures 264.8 — 264.8 — Senior unsecured fixed rate notes 148.4 148.4 — — Floating rate loan stock 57.1 — 57.1 — $ 470.3 $ 148.4 $ 321.9 $ — (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 incentives to key employees and non-employee directors. 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 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, 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 have 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 non-vested restricted share activity as of March 31, 2022 and changes during the three months then ended is as follows: Shares Weighted-Average Outstanding at January 1, 2022 278,430 $ 49.57 Granted 240,677 41.00 Reclassed from performance shares 14,373 32.61 Vested and issued (83,101) 46.32 Expired or forfeited (13,379) 48.72 Outstanding at March 31, 2022 437,000 $ 44.58 The restricted shares vest over one Underwriting, acquisition and insurance expenses in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income (Loss).

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Income Taxes | Income Taxes We are incorporated under the laws of Bermuda and, under current Bermuda law, are not obligated to pay any taxes in Bermuda based upon income or capital gains. We have received an undertaking from the Supervisor of Insurance in Bermuda pursuant to the provisions of the Exempted Undertakings Tax Protection Amendment 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 U.S. or the U.K. and, accordingly, do not expect to be subject to direct U.S. or U.K. income taxation. We have subsidiaries based in the U.K. 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 U.K. subsidiaries are deemed to be engaged in business in the U.S., and therefore, are subject to U.S. corporate tax in respect of a proportion of their U.S. underwriting business only. Relief is available against the U.K. tax liabilities in respect of overseas taxes paid that arise from the underwriting business. Our U.K. subsidiaries file separate U.K. income tax returns. We have subsidiaries based in the U.S. that are subject to U.S. tax laws. Under current law, these subsidiaries are taxed at the applicable corporate tax rates. Our U.S. subsidiaries generally file a consolidated U.S. federal income tax return. We also have operations in Brazil, France, Ireland, Italy, Malta, and Switzerland, which also are subject to income taxes imposed by the jurisdiction in which they operate. During the period ending March 31, 2022, our operations in Brazil were divested. We also have operations in Barbados and the United Arab Emirates, which are not subject to income tax under the laws of those countries. On June 10, 2021, U.K. tax legislation referred to as Finance Act 2021 received Royal Assent and was enacted. The effects of changes in tax laws and tax rates are recognized in the period of enactment. Accordingly, we recorded the impacts of Finance Act 2021 in our June 30, 2021 consolidated financial statements which primarily includes the remeasurement of our deferred tax assets and liabilities for the increased U.K. federal tax rate from 19% to 25% beginning on April 1, 2023. 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 months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, pre-tax income (loss) attributable to our operations and the corresponding operations’ effective tax rates were as follows: For the Three Months Ended March 31, 2022 2021 (in millions) Pre-Tax Effective Pre-Tax Effective Bermuda $ (0.2) — % $ 5.0 — % United States 38.8 21.9 % 41.3 15.7 % United Kingdom 5.0 80.8 % (18.3) 28.1 % Brazil (0.1) (422.4) % 1.6 — % United Arab Emirates 0.6 — % 0.3 — % Ireland (33.3) — % (0.1) — % Italy 0.1 138.1 % 0.9 — % Malta 1.1 — % 0.5 — % Pre-tax income $ 12.0 109.7 % $ 31.2 4.3 % 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 (in millions) 2022 2021 Income tax provision at expected rate $ 9.4 $ 6.3 Tax effect of: Nontaxable investment income (0.1) (0.2) Foreign exchange adjustments 0.1 (0.2) Sale of Brazil Operations 1.6 — Change in uncertain tax position liability 0.1 (2.4) Change in valuation allowance (1.8) (0.8) Impact of change in tax rate related to Finance Act 2021 0.5 — Lease termination 2.0 — Other 1.2 (1.3) Income tax provision $ 13.0 $ 1.4 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. For the three months ended March 31, 2022, the net change in valuation allowance for deferred tax assets decreased $1.8 million 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 or disposals. 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 months ended March 31, 2022, the uncertain tax positions liability increased in the amount of $0.1 million. A net increase of interest in the amount of $0.1 million has been recorded in the line item Interest expense in our Consolidated Statements of Income (Loss) for the three months ended March 31, 2022. Our U.S. subsidiaries are no longer subject to U.S. federal and state income tax examinations by tax authorities for years before 2018. Our U.K. subsidiaries are no longer subject to U.K. income tax examinations by Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs for years before 2020. Numerous foreign jurisdictions in which we operate have provided or proposed income-tax relief in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The Company does not anticipate any of the recent legislative initiatives to have a material impact on its financial statements and will continue to analyze these initiatives in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. |

Segment Reporting [Abstract] | |
Segment Information | Segment Information We are primarily engaged in underwriting property and casualty insurance. We have two ongoing reporting segments: U.S. Operations and International Operations. Additionally, we have Run-off Lines 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. 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 income (loss) before income taxes for each segment were as follows: For the Three Months Ended (in millions) 2022 2021 Revenue: Earned premiums U.S. Operations $ 336.4 $ 314.4 International Operations 144.2 151.5 Run-off Lines — 0.2 Total earned premiums 480.6 466.1 Net investment income U.S. Operations 25.6 28.8 International Operations 11.4 12.0 Run-off Lines 0.7 0.8 Corporate and Other — 2.8 Total net investment income 37.7 44.4 Net realized investment and other gains (losses) (34.5) 13.1 Total revenue $ 483.8 $ 523.6 For the Three Months Ended (in millions) 2022 2021 Income (loss) before income taxes U.S. Operations $ 43.9 $ 36.6 International Operations 22.7 (11.8) Run-off Lines (1.0) 0.6 Total segment income (loss) before income taxes 65.6 25.4 Corporate and Other (16.2) (6.0) Net realized investment and other gains (losses) (34.5) 13.1 Foreign currency exchange losses (2.9) (1.3) Total income (loss) before income taxes $ 12.0 $ 31.2 The table below presents earned premiums by geographic location for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021.

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. and its subsidiaries (“Argo Group,” “we,” “us,” “our” or the “Company”) 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 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 materially differ from those estimates. Certain financial information that is normally 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 and Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2021 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") (collectively, “2021 Form 10-K”). |
Reclassification | Certain reclassifications have been made to financial information presented for prior years to conform to the current year’s presentation. |
Fair Value Measurement | Fair Value Measurements Fair value is the price that would be received upon the sale of 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 March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021. 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 or Level 3 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. Values for the investments categorized as Level 1 are obtained from various financial institutions as of the reporting date. |
Allowance for Credit Losses | Allowance for Credit Losses For fixed maturities with a decline in the fair value between the amortized cost 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 Net realized investment and other gains (losses) in the Condensed Consolidated Statements 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 Condensed Consolidated Statements 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 quarter. 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 investment and other gains (losses) in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income (Loss) based on the fair value of the security at the time of assessment, resulting in a new cost basis for the security. |
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 March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, 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 March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021. 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. |
