Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies | Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies Basis of Presentation White Mountains Insurance Group, Ltd. (the “Company” or the “Registrant”) is an exempted Bermuda limited liability company whose principal businesses are conducted through its subsidiaries and other affiliates. The Company’s headquarters is located at 26 Reid Street, Hamilton, Bermuda HM 11, its principal executive office is located at 23 South Main Street, Suite 3B, Hanover, New Hampshire 03755-2053 and its registered office is located at Clarendon House, 2 Church Street, Hamilton, Bermuda HM 11. The Company’s website is www.whitemountains.com. The information contained on White Mountains’s website is not incorporated by reference into, and is not a part of, this report. The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) and include the accounts of the Company, its subsidiaries (collectively with the Company, “White Mountains”) and other entities required to be consolidated under GAAP. Intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Certain amounts in the prior period financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation. The preparation of 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 as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. These interim financial statements include all adjustments considered necessary by management to fairly state the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of White Mountains. These interim financial statements may not be indicative of financial results for the full year and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Reportable Segments As of March 31, 2023, White Mountains conducted its operations through three reportable segments: (1) HG Global/BAM, (2) Ark/WM Outrigger, and (3) Kudu, with our remaining operating businesses, holding companies and other assets included in Other Operations. White Mountains has made its segment determination based on consideration of the following criteria: (i) the nature of the business activities of each of the Company’s subsidiaries and affiliates; (ii) the manner in which the Company’s subsidiaries and affiliates are organized; (iii) the existence of primary managers responsible for specific subsidiaries and affiliates; and (iv) the organization of information provided to the Company’s chief operating decision makers and its Board of Directors. See Note 14 — “Segment Information.” The HG Global/BAM segment consists of HG Global Ltd. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (collectively, “HG Global”) and the consolidated results of Build America Mutual Assurance Company (“BAM”) (collectively with HG Global, “HG Global/BAM”). BAM is the first and only mutual municipal bond insurance company in the United States. By insuring the timely payment of principal and interest, BAM provides market access to, and lowers interest expense for, issuers of municipal bonds used to finance essential public purpose projects, such as schools, utilities and transportation facilities. BAM is owned by and operated for the benefit of its members, the municipalities that purchase BAM’s insurance for their debt issuances. HG Global was established to fund the startup of BAM and, through its reinsurance subsidiary, HG Re Ltd. (“HG Re”), to provide up to 15%-of-par, first loss reinsurance protection for policies underwritten by BAM. HG Global, together with its subsidiaries, funded the initial capitalization of BAM through the purchase of $503.0 million of surplus notes issued by BAM (the “BAM Surplus Notes”). As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, White Mountains owned 96.9% of HG Global’s preferred equity and 88.4% of its common equity. White Mountains does not have an ownership interest in BAM. However, White Mountains is required to consolidate BAM’s results in its financial statements because BAM is a variable interest entity (“VIE”) for which White Mountains is the primary beneficiary. BAM’s results are all attributed to noncontrolling interests. The Ark/WM Outrigger segment consists of Ark Insurance Holdings Limited and its subsidiaries (collectively, “Ark”) and Outrigger Re Ltd. Segregated Account 2023-1 (“WM Outrigger Re”) (collectively with Ark, “Ark/WM Outrigger”). Ark is a specialty property and casualty insurance and reinsurance company that offers a wide range of niche insurance and reinsurance products, including property, specialty, marine & energy, casualty and accident & health. Ark underwrites select coverages through Lloyd’s Syndicates 4020 and 3902 (the “Syndicates”) and its wholly-owned subsidiary Group Ark Insurance Limited (“GAIL”). White Mountains acquired a controlling ownership interest in Ark on January 1, 2021 (the “Ark Transaction”). As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, White Mountains owned 72.0% of Ark on a basic shares outstanding basis (63.0% after taking account of management’s equity incentives). The remaining shares are owned by current and former employees. In the future, management rollover shareholders could earn additional shares in Ark if and to the extent that White Mountains achieves certain multiple of invested capital return thresholds. If fully earned, these additional shares would represent 12.5% of the shares outstanding at closing. For the years of account prior to the Ark Transaction, a significant proportion of the Syndicates’ underwriting capital was provided by third-party insurance and reinsurance groups (“TPC Providers”) using whole account reinsurance contracts with Ark’s corporate member. For the years of account subsequent to the Ark Transaction, Ark is no longer using TPC Providers to provide underwriting capital for the Syndicates. Captions within results of operations and other comprehensive income for the three months ended March 31, 2022 are shown net of amounts relating to the TPC Providers’ share of the Syndicates’ results, including investment results. During the fourth quarter of 2022, Ark sponsored the formation of Outrigger Re Ltd., a Bermuda company registered as a special purpose insurer and segregated accounts company, to provide collateralized reinsurance protection on Ark’s Bermuda global property catastrophe excess of loss portfolio written in calendar year 2023. Outrigger Re Ltd. issued non-voting redeemable preference shares on behalf of four segregated accounts to White Mountains and unrelated third party investors. White Mountains consolidates the results of its segregated account, WM Outrigger Re, in its financial statements. See Note 2 — “Significant Transactions.” As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, White Mountains owned 100.0% of WM Outrigger Re’s preferred equity. The Kudu segment consists of Kudu Investment Management, LLC and its subsidiaries (collectively “Kudu”). Kudu provides capital solutions for boutique asset and wealth managers for a variety of purposes including generational ownership transfers, management buyouts, acquisition and growth finance and legacy partner liquidity. Kudu also provides strategic assistance to investees from time to time. Kudu’s capital solutions generally are structured as minority preferred equity stakes with distribution rights, typically tied to gross revenues and designed to generate immediate cash yields. As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, White Mountains owned 89.2% and 89.3% of Kudu’s basic units outstanding (76.1% and 76.1% on a fully diluted, fully converted basis). White Mountains’s Other Operations consists of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, White Mountains Capital, LLC (“WM Capital”), its other intermediate holding companies, its wholly-owned investment management subsidiary, White Mountains Advisors LLC (“WM Advisors”), investment assets managed by WM Advisors, its interests in MediaAlpha, Inc. (“MediaAlpha”), PassportCard Limited (“PassportCard”) and DavidShield Life Insurance Agency (2000) Ltd. (“DavidShield”) (collectively, “PassportCard/ DavidShield”), Elementum Holdings LP (“Elementum”), certain other consolidated and unconsolidated entities (“Other Operating Businesses”) and certain other assets. Discontinued Operations On August 1, 2022, White Mountains Holdings (Luxembourg) S.à r.l. (“WTM Holdings Seller”), an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of White Mountains, completed the sale of White Mountains Catskill Holdings, Inc. and NSM Insurance HoldCo, LLC (“NSM” and, collectively with White Mountains Catskill Holdings, Inc., the “NSM Group”) to Riser Merger Sub, Inc., an affiliate of The Carlyle Group Inc. (the “NSM Transaction”), pursuant to the terms of the securities purchase agreement dated as of May 9, 2022. See Note 2 — “Significant Transactions. ” NSM is a full-service managing general agent (“MGA”) and program administrator with delegated binding authorities for specialty property and casualty insurance. As a result of the NSM Transaction, the assets and liabilities of NSM Group have been presented in the balance sheet as held for sale for periods prior to the closing of the transaction, and the results of operations for NSM Group have been classified as discontinued operations in the statements of operations and comprehensive income through the closing of the transaction. Prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period’s presentation.

Significant Transactions | Significant Transactions NSM On August 1, 2022, the NSM Transaction closed. White Mountains received $1.4 billion in net cash proceeds at closing and recognized a net transaction gain of $875.7 million, which was comprised of $886.8 million of net gain from sale of discontinued operations and $2.9 million of comprehensive income related to the recognition of foreign currency translation gains (losses) from the sale, partially offset by $14.0 million of compensation and other costs related to the transaction recorded in Other Operations. WM Outrigger Re During the fourth quarter of 2022, Ark sponsored the formation of Outrigger Re Ltd., a Bermuda company registered as a special purpose insurer and segregated accounts company, to provide reinsurance capacity to Ark. On December 20, 2022, Outrigger Re Ltd. issued $250.0 million of non-voting redeemable preference shares on behalf of four segregated accounts to White Mountains and unrelated third party investors. Upon issuance of the preference shares, Outrigger Re Ltd. entered into collateralized quota share agreements with GAIL to provide reinsurance protection on Ark’s Bermuda global property catastrophe excess of loss portfolio written in calendar year 2023. The proceeds from the issuance of the preference shares were deposited into collateral trust accounts to fund any potential obligations under the reinsurance agreements with GAIL. Outrigger Re Ltd.’s obligations under the reinsurance agreements with GAIL are subject to an aggregate limit equal to the assets in the collateral trusts at any point in time. The terms of the reinsurance agreements are renewable upon the mutual agreement of Ark and the applicable preference shareholder. White Mountains purchased 100% of the preference shares issued by its segregated account, WM Outrigger Re, for $205.0 million. White Mountains consolidates WM Outrigger Re’s results in its financial statements. WM Outrigger Re’s quota share reinsurance agreement with GAIL eliminates in White Mountains’s consolidated financial statements. Kudu On May 26, 2022, Kudu raised $114.5 million of equity capital (the “Kudu Transaction”) from Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Company (“Mass Mutual”), White Mountains and Kudu management. Mass Mutual, White Mountains and Kudu management contributed $64.1 million, $50.0 million and $0.4 million at a pre-money valuation of 1.3x, or $114.0 million above the December 31, 2021 equity value of Kudu’s go-forward portfolio of revenue and earnings participation contracts (“Participation Contracts”). The go-forward portfolio of Kudu’s Participation Contracts excluded $54.3 million of enterprise value as of December 31, 2021 relating to two portfolio companies that had announced sale transactions prior to the capital raise. As a result of the Kudu Transaction, White Mountains’s basic ownership of Kudu decreased from 99.1% to 89.3%. |

Investments, Debt and Equity Securities [Abstract] | |
Investment Securities | Investment Securities White Mountains’s portfolio of investment securities held for general investment purposes consists of fixed maturity investments, short-term investments, common equity securities, its investment in MediaAlpha and other long-term investments, which are classified as trading securities. Trading securities are reported at fair value as of the balance sheet date. Net realized and unrealized investment gains (losses) on trading securities are reported in pre-tax revenues. White Mountains’s fixed maturity investments are generally valued using industry standard pricing methodologies. Key inputs include benchmark yields, benchmark securities, reported trades, issuer spreads, bids, offers, credit ratings and prepayment speeds. Income on mortgage and asset-backed securities is recognized using an effective yield based on anticipated prepayments and the estimated economic life of the securities. When actual prepayments differ significantly from anticipated prepayments, the estimated economic life is recalculated and the remaining unamortized premium or discount is amortized prospectively over the remaining economic life. Realized investment gains (losses) resulting from sales of investment securities are accounted for using the specific identification method. Premiums and discounts on all fixed maturity investments are amortized or accreted to income over the anticipated life of the investment. Short-term investments consist of interest-bearing money market funds, certificates of deposit and other securities, which at the time of purchase, mature or become available for use within one year. Short-term investments are carried at fair value, which approximated amortized cost, as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022. Other long-term investments consist primarily of unconsolidated entities, including Kudu’s Participation Contracts, private equity funds and hedge funds, a bank loan fund, Lloyd’s trust deposits, insurance-linked securities (“ILS”) funds and private debt instruments. Net Investment Income White Mountains’s net investment income is comprised primarily of interest income associated with White Mountains’s fixed maturity investments and short-term investments, dividend income from common equity securities, distributions from its investment in MediaAlpha and distributions from other long-term investments. The following table presents pre-tax net investment income for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022: Three Months Ended March 31, Millions 2023 2022 Fixed maturity investments $ 14.5 $ 8.2 Short-term investments 9.7 .1 Common equity securities 1.3 — Other long-term investments 14.1 13.2 Amount attributable to TPC Providers — (.5) Total investment income 39.6 21.0 Third-party investment expenses (.6) (.4) Net investment income, pre-tax $ 39.0 $ 20.6 Net Realized and Unrealized Investment Gains (Losses) The following table presents net realized and unrealized investment gains (losses) for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022: Three Months Ended March 31, Millions 2023 2022 Realized investment gains (losses) Fixed maturity investments $ (.1) $ (1.1) Short-term investments (.4) (.2) Other long-term investments 47.2 18.7 Net realized investment gains (losses) 46.7 17.4 Unrealized investment gains (losses) Fixed maturity investments 29.7 (79.5) Short-term investments 1.2 .2 Common equity securities 29.4 1.0 Investment in MediaAlpha 85.2 18.8 Other long-term investments 5.9 50.4 Net unrealized investment gains (losses) 151.4 (9.1) Net realized and unrealized investment gains (losses), before amount attributable to TPC providers (1) 198.1 8.3 Amount attributable to TPC Providers — 2.1 Net realized and unrealized investment gains (losses) $ 198.1 $ 10.4 Fixed maturity and short-term investments Net realized and unrealized investment gains (losses) $ 30.4 $ (80.6) Less: net realized and unrealized gains (losses) on investment 1.8 (1.0) Net unrealized investment gains (losses) recognized during the period on $ 28.6 $ (79.6) Common equity securities and investment in MediaAlpha Net realized and unrealized investment gains (losses) on common $ 29.4 $ 1.0 Net realized and unrealized investment gains (losses) from 85.2 18.8 Total net realized and unrealized investment gains (losses) 114.6 19.8 Less: net realized and unrealized gains (losses) on investment — — Net unrealized investment gains (losses) recognized during the period on $ 114.6 $ 19.8 (1) For the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, includes $5.4 and $2.6 of realized and unrealized investment gains related to foreign currency exchange.

Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities have the highest priority (Level 1), followed by observable inputs other than quoted prices, including prices for similar but not identical assets or liabilities (Level 2) and unobservable inputs, including the reporting entity’s estimates of the assumptions that market participants would use, having the lowest priority (Level 3). See Note 17 — “Fair Value of Financial Instruments.” As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, White Mountains used quoted market prices or other observable inputs to determine fair value for approximately 70% and 72% of the investment portfolio. Fair Value Measurements by Level The following tables present White Mountains’s fair value measurements for investments as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 by level. The major security types were based on the legal form of the securities. White Mountains has disaggregated its fixed maturity investments based on the issuing entity type, which impacts credit quality, with debt securities issued by U.S. government entities carrying minimal credit risk, while the credit and other risks associated with other issuers, such as corporations, municipalities or entities issuing mortgage and asset-backed securities vary depending on the nature of the issuing entity type. White Mountains further disaggregates debt securities issued by corporations by industry sector because investors often reference commonly used benchmarks and their subsectors to monitor risk and performance. Accordingly, White Mountains has further disaggregated this asset class into subclasses based on the similar sectors and industry classifications it uses to evaluate investment risk and performance against commonly used benchmarks, such as the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Intermediate Aggregate.

Investments Held on Deposit or as Collateral As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, investments of $517.5 million and $500.5 million were held in trusts required to be maintained in relation to HG Global’s reinsurance agreements with BAM. HG Global is required to maintain an interest reserve account in connection with its senior notes issued in 2022. As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the fair value of the interest reserve account, which was included in short-term investments, was $31.6 million and $31.2 million. See Note 7 - “Debt.” BAM is required to maintain deposits with certain insurance regulatory agencies in order to maintain its insurance licenses. The fair value of such deposits, which represent state deposits and are included within the investment portfolio, totaled $4.6 million as of both March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022. Lloyd’s trust deposits are generally required of Lloyd's syndicates to protect policyholders in non-U.K. markets and are pledged into Lloyd’s trust accounts to provide a portion of the capital needed to support obligations at Lloyd’s. As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, Ark held Lloyd’s trust deposits with a fair value of $148.7 million and $137.4 million. The underwriting capacity of a member of Lloyd’s must be supported by providing a deposit (“Funds at Lloyd’s”) in the form of cash, securities or letters of credit in an amount determined by Lloyd’s. The amount of such deposit is calculated for each member through the completion of an annual capital adequacy exercise. These requirements allow Lloyd’s to evaluate whether each member has sufficient assets to meet its underwriting liabilities plus a required solvency margin. As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the fair value of Ark’s Funds at Lloyd’s investment deposits totaled $326.3 million and $319.2 million. As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, Ark held additional investments on deposit or as collateral for insurance regulators and reinsurance counterparties of $263.3 million and $257.0 million. As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, Ark had $144.1 million and $90.3 million of short-term investments pledged as collateral under uncommitted standby letters of credit. See Note 7 — “Debt.” As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, short-term investments of $206.0 million and $203.7 million were held in a collateral trust account required to be maintained in relation to WM Outrigger Re’s reinsurance agreement with GAIL.

All of White Mountains’s collateral loan obligations were rated AAA or AA as of March 31, 2023. Investment in MediaAlpha In 2020, MediaAlpha completed an initial public offering (the “MediaAlpha IPO”). Following the MediaAlpha IPO, White Mountains’s investment in MediaAlpha is accounted for at fair value based on the publicly traded share price of MediaAlpha’s common stock and is presented as a separate line item on the balance sheet. As of March 31, 2023, White Mountains owned 16.9 million shares, representing a 26.8% basic ownership interest (24.3% o n a fully diluted, fully converted bas is). See Note 16 — “Equity Method Eligible Investments.” At this current level of ownership, each $1.00 per share increase or decrease in the share price of MediaAlpha will result in an approximate $6.60 per share increase or decrease in White Mountains’s book value per share. At the March 31, 2023 closing price of $14.98 per share, the fair value of White Mountains’s investment in MediaAlpha was $253.8 million.

In addition, certain private equity funds have the option to extend the lock-up period. The following table presents investments in private equity funds that were subject to lock-up periods as of March 31, 2023: Millions 1 – 3 years 3 – 5 years 5 – 10 years >10 years Total Private equity funds — expected lock-up period remaining $4.1 $18.6 $132.3 $4.4 $159.4 Investors in private equity funds are generally subject to indemnification obligations outside of the capital commitment period and prior to the winding up of the fund. As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, White Mountains is not aware of any indemnification claims relating to its investments in private equity funds. Redemption of investments in most hedge funds is subject to restrictions, including lock-up periods where no redemptions or withdrawals are allowed, restrictions on redemption frequency and advance notice periods for redemptions. Amounts requested for redemptions remain subject to market fluctuations until the redemption effective date, which generally falls at the end of the defined redemption period. Advance notice requirements for redemptions from White Mountains’s hedge fund investments range from 45 to 90 days. One of White Mountains’s hedge fund investments also limits redemptions to every second anniversary following the date of the initial investment. Bank Loan Fund White Mountains’s other long-term investments include a bank loan fund with a fair value of $179.5 million and $174.8 million as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022. The fair value of this investment is estimated using the NAV of the fund. The bank loan fund’s investment objective is to provide, on an unleveraged basis, high current income consistent with preservation of capital and low duration. The bank loan fund primarily invests in a broad portfolio of U.S. dollar-denominated, non-investment grade, floating-rate senior secured loans and may invest in other financial instruments, such as secured and unsecured corporate debt, credit default swaps, reverse repurchase agreements, synthetic indices and cash and cash equivalents. The investment in the bank loan fund is subject to restrictions on redemption frequency and advance notice periods for redemptions. Amounts requested for redemptions remain subject to market fluctuations until the redemption effective date, which generally falls at the end of the defined redemption period. White Mountains may redeem all or a portion of its bank loan fund investment as of any calendar month-end upon 15 calendar days advanced written notice. Lloyd’s Trust Deposits White Mountains’s other long-term investments include Lloyd’s trust deposits, which consist of non-U.K. deposits and Canadian comingled pooled funds. The Lloyd’s trust deposits invest primarily in short-term government securities, agency securities and corporate bonds held in trusts that are managed by Lloyd's of London. These investments are generally required of Lloyd's syndicates to protect policyholders in non-U.K. markets and are pledged into Lloyd’s trust accounts to provide a portion of the capital needed to support obligations at Lloyd’s. The fair value of the Lloyd’s trust deposits is generally estimated using the NAV of the funds. As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, White Mountains held Lloyd’s trust deposits with a fair value of $148.7 million and $137.4 million. Insurance-Linked Securities Funds White Mountains’s other long-term investments include ILS fund investments. The fair value of these investments is generally estimated using the NAV of the funds. As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, White Mountains held investments in ILS funds with a fair value of $123.6 million and $49.3 million. Investments in ILS funds are generally subject to restrictions, including lock-up periods where no redemptions or withdrawals are allowed, non-renewal clauses, restrictions on redemption frequency and advance notice periods for redemptions. From time to time, natural catastrophe, liquidity, market or other events will occur that make the determination of fair value for underlying investments in ILS funds less certain due to the potential for loss development. In such circumstances, the impacted investments may be subject to additional lock-up provisions. ILS funds are typically subject to monthly and annual restrictions on redemptions and advance redemption notice period requirements that range between 30 and 90 days. Amounts requested for redemption remain subject to market fluctuations until the redemption effective date, which generally falls at the end of the defined redemption period, or until the underlying investment has fully matured or been commuted. Rollforward of Level 3 Investments Level 3 measurements as of March 31, 2023 and 2022 consist of securities for which the estimated fair value has not been determined based upon quoted market price inputs for identical or similar securities. The following table presents the changes in White Mountains’s fair value measurements for Level 3 investments for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022: Level 3 Investments Millions Other Long-term Other Long-term Balance at December 31, 2022 $ 911.6 Balance at December 31, 2021 $ 890.6 Net realized and unrealized gains 35.1 Net realized and unrealized gains 26.8 Amortization/accretion — Amortization/accretion — Purchases and contributions 117.0 Purchases and contributions — Sales and distributions (109.0) Sales and distributions (31.7) Transfers in — Transfers in — Transfers out — Transfers out — Balance at March 31, 2023 $ 954.7 Balance at March 31, 2022 $ 885.7 Fair Value Measurements — Transfers Between Levels - Three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 Transfers between levels are recorded using the fair value measurement as of the end of the quarterly period in which the event or change in circumstance giving rise to the transfer occurred. During the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, there were no fixed maturity investments or other long-term investments classified as Level 3 measurements in the prior period that were transferred to Level 2 measurements. During the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, there were no fixed maturity investments or other long-term investments classified as Level 2 measurements in the prior period that were transferred to Level 3 measurements. Significant Unobservable Inputs The following tables present significant unobservable inputs used in estimating the fair value of White Mountains’s other long-term investments, classified within Level 3 as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022. The tables below exclude $91.8 million and $41.1 million of Level 3 other long-term investments generally valued based on recent or expected transaction prices.

Goodwill and Intangible Assets Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets | Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets White Mountains accounts for business combinations using the acquisition method. Under the acquisition method, White Mountains recognizes and measures the assets acquired, liabilities assumed and any noncontrolling interest in the acquired entities at their acquisition date fair values. Goodwill represents the excess of the amount paid to acquire businesses over the fair value of identifiable net assets at the date of acquisition. The estimated acquisition date fair values, generally consisting of intangible assets and liabilities for contingent consideration, may be recorded at provisional amounts in circumstances where the information necessary to complete the acquisition accounting is not available at the reporting date. Any such provisional amounts are finalized as measurement period adjustments within one year of the acquisition date. The following table presents the economic lives, acquisition date fair values, accumulated amortization and net carrying values for other intangible assets and goodwill as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022: $ in Millions Weighted Average Economic March 31, 2023 December 31, 2022 Acquisition Date Fair Value Accumulated Amortization Net Carrying Value Acquisition Date Fair Value Accumulated Amortization Net Carrying Value Goodwill: Ark N/A $ 116.8 $ — $ 116.8 $ 116.8 $ — $ 116.8 Kudu N/A 7.6 — 7.6 7.6 7.6 Other Operations N/A 44.4 — 44.4 52.1 — 52.1 Total goodwill 168.8 — 168.8 176.5 — 176.5 Other intangible assets: Ark Underwriting capacity N/A 175.7 — 175.7 175.7 — 175.7 Kudu Trade names 7 2.2 1.3 .9 2.2 1.2 1.0 Other Operations Trade names 13.3 13.3 2.6 10.7 17.9 3.0 14.9 Customer relationships 11.0 24.8 7.0 17.8 29.5 7.5 22.0 Other 12.1 2.8 .5 2.3 2.8 .5 2.3 Subtotal 40.9 10.1 30.8 50.2 11.0 39.2 Total other intangible assets 218.8 11.4 207.4 228.1 12.2 215.9 Total goodwill and other intangible assets $ 387.6 $ 11.4 376.2 $ 404.6 $ 12.2 392.4 Intangible Assets Valuation Methods The goodwill recognized for the entities shown above is attributed to expected future cash flows. The acquisition date fair values of other intangible assets with finite lives are estimated using income approach techniques, which use future expected cash flows to develop a discounted present value amount. The multi-period-excess-earnings method estimates fair value using the present value of the incremental after-tax cash flows attributable solely to the other intangible asset over its remaining life. This approach was used to estimate the fair value of other intangible assets associated with the underwriting capacity and customer relationships. The relief-from-royalty method was used to estimate fair value for other intangible assets that relate to rights that could be obtained via a license from a third-party owner. Under this method, the fair value is estimated using the present value of license fees avoided by owning rather than leasing the asset. This technique was used to estimate the fair value of trade names and other intangible assets. The with-or-without method estimates the fair value of other intangible assets that provide an incremental benefit. Under this method, the fair value of the other intangible asset is calculated by comparing the value of the entity with and without the other intangible asset. This approach was used to estimate the fair value of favorable lease terms. On at least an annual basis beginning no later than the interim period included in the one-year anniversary of an acquisition, White Mountains evaluates goodwill and other intangible assets for potential impairment. Between annual evaluations, White Mountains considers changes in circumstances or events subsequent to the most recent evaluation that may indicate that an impairment may exist and, if necessary will perform an interim review for potential impairment. During the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, White Mountains did not recognize any impairments to goodwill and other intangible assets. Rollforward of Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets The following table presents the change in goodwill and other intangible assets for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022: Three Months Ended March 31, 2023 2022 Millions Goodwill Other Intangible Assets Total Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets Goodwill Other Intangible Assets Total Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets Beginning balance $ 176.5 $ 215.9 $ 392.4 $ 142.3 $ 198.2 $ 340.5 Dispositions (1) (6.7) (6.9) (13.6) — — — Measurement period adjustments (2) (1.0) — (1.0) — — — Amortization — (1.6) (1.6) — (1.0) (1.0) Ending balance $ 168.8 $ 207.4 $ 376.2 $ 142.3 $ 197.2 $ 339.5 (1) Relates to a disposition within Other Operations.

Loss and Loss Adjustment Expense Reserves | Loss and Loss Adjustment Expense Reserves P&C Insurance and Reinsurance The following table summarizes the loss and loss adjustment expense (“LAE”) reserve activity of the Ark/WM Outrigger segment for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022: Three Months Ended March 31, Millions 2023 2022 Gross beginning balance $ 1,296.5 $ 894.7 Less: beginning reinsurance recoverable on unpaid losses (1) (505.0) (428.9) Net loss and LAE reserves 791.5 465.8 Loss and LAE incurred relating to: Current year losses 139.2 125.7 Prior year losses 8.6 (3.7) Net incurred losses and LAE 147.8 122.0 Loss and LAE paid relating to: Current year losses (4.0) (.6) Prior year losses (87.7) (39.4) Net paid loss and LAE (91.7) (40.0) Change in TPC Providers’ participation (2) 145.4 57.5 Foreign currency translation and other adjustments to loss and LAE 3.7 (1.7) Net ending balance 996.7 603.6 Plus: ending reinsurance recoverable on unpaid losses (3) 348.9 396.0 Gross ending balance $ 1,345.6 $ 999.6 (1) The beginning reinsurance recoverable on unpaid losses includes amounts attributable to TPC Providers of $145.4 and $276.8 as of December 31, 2022 and 2021. (2) Amount represents the impact to net loss and LAE reserves due to a change in the TPC Providers’ participation related to the annual reinsurance to close process. (3) The ending reinsurance recoverable on unpaid losses includes amounts attributable to TPC Providers of $0.0 and $207.3 as of March 31, 2023 and 2022. For the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Ark/WM Outrigger segment recognized $8.6 million of net unfavorable prior year loss reserve development at Ark, driven primarily by Winter Storm Elliot. For the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Ark/WM Outrigger segment recognized $3.7 million of net favorable prior year loss reserve development at Ark, driven primarily by the property line of business. Impact of Third-Party Capital For the years of account prior to the Ark Transaction, a significant proportion of the Syndicates’ underwriting capital was provided by TPC Providers using whole account reinsurance contracts with Ark’s corporate member. For the years of account subsequent to the Ark Transaction, Ark is no longer using TPC Providers to provide underwriting capital for the Syndicates. A reinsurance to close (“RITC”) agreement is generally put in place after the third year of operations for a year of account such that the outstanding loss and LAE reserves, including future development thereon, are reinsured into the next year of account. As a result, and in combination with the changing participation provided by TPC Providers, Ark’s participation on outstanding loss and LAE reserves reinsured into the next year of account may change, perhaps significantly. During the first quarter of 2023, an RITC agreement was executed such that the outstanding loss and LAE reserves for claims arising out of the 2020 year of account, for which the TPC Providers’ participation in the total net results of the Syndicates was 42.8%, were reinsured into the 2021 year of account, for which the TPC Providers’ participation in the total net results of the Syndicates was 0.0%. During the first quarter of 2022, an RITC agreement was executed such that the outstanding loss and LAE reserves for claims arising out of the 2019 year of account, for which the TPC Providers’ participation in the total net results of the Syndicates was 58.3%, were reinsured into the 2020 year of account, for which the TPC Providers’ participation in the total net results of the Syndicates was 42.8%. Municipal Bond Guarantee Insurance HG Re and BAM do not have any outstanding loss and LAE reserves related to BAM’s municipal bond guarantee insurance business. |

Reinsurance Disclosures [Abstract] | |
Third-Party Reinsurance | Third-Party Reinsurance P&C Insurance and Reinsurance In the normal course of business, Ark may seek to limit losses that may arise from catastrophes or other events by reinsuring certain risks with third-party reinsurers. Ark remains liable for risks reinsured in the event that the reinsurer does not honor its obligations under reinsurance contracts. The following table summarizes the effects of reinsurance on written and earned premiums and on losses and LAE for the Ark/WM Outrigger segment for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022: Three Months Ended March 31, Millions 2023 2022 Written premiums: Direct $ 246.2 $ 230.9 Assumed 563.2 402.2 Gross written premiums 809.4 633.1 Ceded (195.2) (1) (89.3) Net written premiums $ 614.2 $ 543.8 Earned premiums: Direct $ 150.4 $ 138.7 Assumed 162.1 106.6 Gross earned premiums 312.5 245.3 Ceded (57.4) (2) (50.9) Net earned premiums $ 255.1 $ 194.4 Losses and LAE: Gross $ 162.4 $ 183.1 Ceded (14.6) (3) (61.1) Net losses and LAE $ 147.8 $ 122.0 (1) The ceded written premiums exclude $44.1 ceded by Ark to WM Outrigger Re for the three months ended March 31, 2023, which eliminate in White Mountains’s consolidated financial statements. (2) The ceded earned premiums exclude $5.2 ceded by Ark to WM Outrigger Re for the three months ended March 31, 2023, which eliminate in White Mountains’s consolidated financial statements. (3) The ceded loss and LAE exclude $0.2 ceded by Ark to WM Outrigger Re for the three months ended March 31, 2023, which eliminate in White Mountains’s consolidated financial statements. The following table presents the Ark/WM Outrigger segment’s reinsurance recoverables as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022: Millions March 31, 2023 December 31, 2022 Reinsurance recoverables on unpaid losses $ 348.9 (1) $ 505.0 (3) Reinsurance recoverables on paid losses 23.1 31.1 Ceded unearned premiums 198.6 (2) 59.2 Reinsurance recoverables $ 570.6 $ 595.3 (1) The reinsurance recoverables on unpaid losses exclude $0.2 ceded by Ark to WM Outrigger Re as of March 31, 2023, which eliminate in White Mountains’s consolidated financial statements.

(3) The reinsurance recoverables on unpaid losses include $145.4 attributable to TPC Providers as of December 31, 2022, which are collateralized. As reinsurance contracts do not relieve Ark of its obligation to its policyholders, Ark seeks to reduce the credit risk associated with reinsurance balances by avoiding over-reliance on specific reinsurers through the application of concentration limits and thresholds. Ark is selective with its reinsurers, placing reinsurance with only those reinsurers having a strong financial condition. Ark monitors the financial strength of its reinsurers on an ongoing basis. The following table presents the Ark/WM Outrigger segment’s gross and net reinsurance recoverables by the reinsurer’s A.M. Best Company, Inc (“A.M.

HG Global Senior Notes On April 29, 2022, HG Global received the proceeds from the issuance of its $150.0 million face value floating rate secured senior notes (the “HG Global Senior Notes”). The HG Global Senior Notes, which mature in April 2032, accrue interest at a floating rate equal to the three-month Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) plus 6.3% per annum. Subsequent to the five-year anniversary of the funding date, absent the occurrence of an early amortization trigger event, HG Global will be required to make payments of principal on a quarterly basis totaling $15.0 million annually. Upon the occurrence of an early amortization trigger event, HG Global is required to use all available cash flow to repay the notes. Early amortization trigger events include scenarios in which HG Re is effectively in runoff. HG Global has the option to redeem, in whole or in part, the HG Global Senior Notes after the five-year anniversary of the funding date at the outstanding principal amount plus accrued interest. On June 16, 2022, HG entered into an interest rate cap agreement, effective on July 25, 2022, to limit its exposure to the risk of interest rate increases on the HG Global Senior Notes. The notional amount of the interest rate cap is $150.0 million and the termination date is July 25, 2025. See Note 9 — “Derivatives.” The HG Global Senior Notes require HG Global to maintain an interest reserve account of eight times the interest accrued for the most recent quarterly interest period. As of March 31, 2023, the fair value of the interest reserve account, which is included in short-term investments, is $31.6 million. The HG Global Senior Notes are secured by the capital stock and other equity interests of HG Global’s subsidiaries, the interest reserve account, and all cash and non-cash proceeds from such collateral. The HG Global Senior Notes contain various affirmative and negative covenants that White Mountains considers to be customary for such borrowings. If the payment of principal and interest under the HG Global Senior Notes becomes subject to tax withholding on behalf of a relevant governmental authority for certain indemnified taxes, the HG Global Senior Notes require the payment of additional amounts such that the amount received by the noteholders is the same as would have been received absent the tax withholding being imposed. The HG Global Senior Notes require the payment of additional interest of 1.0% per annum if the HG Global Senior Notes receive a non-investment grade rating or are no longer rated. As of March 31, 2023, the HG Global Senior Notes had an investment grade rating. As of March 31, 2023, the HG Global Senior Notes had an outstanding balance of $150.0 million. Ark Subordinated Notes In March 2007, GAIL issued $30.0 million face value of floating rate unsecured junior subordinated deferrable interest notes to Alesco Preferred Funding XII Ltd., Alesco Preferred Funding XIII Ltd. and Alesco Preferred Funding XIV Ltd (the “Ark 2007 Subordinated Notes”). The Ark 2007 Subordinated Notes, which mature in June 2037, accrue interest at a floating rate equal to the three-month U.S. London Inter-Bank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) plus 4.6% per annum. As of March 31, 2023, the Ark 2007 Subordinated Notes had an outstanding balance of $30.0 million. In the third quarter of 2021, GAIL issued $163.3 million face value floating rate unsecured subordinated notes at par in three separate transactions for proceeds of $157.8 million, net of debt issuance costs (collectively, the “Ark 2021 Subordinated Notes”). The Ark 2021 Subordinated Notes were issued in private placement offerings that were exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933. On July 13, 2021, Ark issued €39.1 million ($46.3 million based upon the foreign exchange spot rate as of the date of the transaction) face value floating rate unsecured subordinated notes (“Ark 2021 Subordinated Notes Tranche 1”). The Ark 2021 Subordinated Notes Tranche 1, which mature in July 2041, accrue interest at a floating rate equal to the three-month Euro Interbank Offered Rate (“EURIBOR”) plus 5.75% per annum. On August 11, 2021, Ark issued $47.0 million face value floating rate unsecured subordinated notes (“Ark 2021 Subordinated Notes Tranche 2”). The Ark 2021 Subordinated Notes Tranche 2, which mature in August 2041, accrue interest at a floating rate equal to the three-month U.S. LIBOR plus 5.75% per annum. On September 8, 2021, Ark issued $70.0 million face value floating rate unsecured subordinated notes (“Ark 2021 Subordinated Notes Tranche 3”). The Ark 2021 Subordinated Notes Tranche 3, which mature in September 2041, accrue interest at a floating rate equal to the three-month U.S. LIBOR plus 6.1% per annum. On the ten-year anniversary of the issue dates, the interest rate for the Ark 2021 Subordinated Notes will increase by 1.0% per annum. Ark has the option to redeem, in whole or in part, the Ark 2021 Subordinated Notes ahead of contractual maturity at the outstanding principal amounts plus accrued interest at the ten-year anniversary or any subsequent interest payment date. All payments of principal and interest under the Ark 2021 Subordinated Notes are conditional upon GAIL’s solvency and compliance with the enhanced capital requirements of the Bermuda Monetary Authority (“BMA”). The deferral of payments of principal and interest under these conditions does not constitute a default by Ark and does not give the noteholders any rights to accelerate repayment of the Ark 2021 Subordinated Notes or take any enforcement action under the Ark 2021 Subordinated Notes. If the payments of principal and interest under the Ark 2021 Subordinated Notes become subject to tax withholding on behalf of Bermuda or any political subdivision there, the Ark 2021 Subordinated Notes require the payment of additional amounts such that the amount received by the noteholders is the same as would have been received absent the tax withholding being imposed. The Ark 2021 Subordinated Notes Tranche 3 require the payment of additional interest of 1.0% per annum upon the occurrence of a premium load event until such event is remedied. Premium load events include the failure to meet payment obligations of the Ark 2021 Subordinated Notes Tranche 3 when due, failure of GAIL to maintain an investment grade credit rating, failure to maintain 120% of GAIL’s Bermuda solvency capital requirement, failure of GAIL to maintain a debt to capital ratio below 40%, late filing of GAIL’s or Ark’s financial information, and making a restricted payment or distribution on GAIL’s common stock or other securities that rank junior or pari passu with the Ark 2021 Subordinated Notes Tranche 3 when a different premium load event exists or will be caused by the restricted payment. As of March 31, 2023, there were no premium load events. As of March 31, 2023, the Ark 2021 Subordinated Notes Tranche 1 had an outstanding balance of €39.1 million ($42.0 million based upon the foreign exchange spot rate as of March 31, 2023), the Ark 2021 Subordinated Notes Tranche 2 had an outstanding balance of $47.0 million, and the Ark 2021 Subordinated Notes Tranche 3 had an outstanding balance of $70.0 million. The Ark Subordinated Notes contain various affirmative and negative covenants that White Mountains considers to be customary for such borrowings. Ark Standby Letter of Credit Facilities In December 2021, Ark entered into two uncommitted secured standby letter of credit facility agreements to support the continued growth and expansion of its GAIL insurance and reinsurance operations. The standby letter of credit facility agreements were executed with ING Bank N.V., London Branch (the “ING LOC Facility”) with capacity of $50.0 million on an uncollateralized basis and with Citibank Europe Plc (the “Citibank LOC Facility”) with capacity of $100.0 million on a collateralized basis. In September 2022, Ark entered into an additional uncommitted standby letter of credit facility agreement with Lloyds Bank Corporate Markets PLC (the “Lloyds LOC Facility”) with capacity of $50.0 million on a collateralized basis. As of March 31, 2023, the ING LOC Facility was undrawn. As of March 31, 2023, the Citibank LOC Facility had an outstanding balance of $92.3 million and short-term investments pledged as collateral of $106.3 million. As of March 31, 2023, the Lloyds LOC Facility had an outstanding balance of $35.0 million and short-term investments pledged as collateral of $37.8 million. Ark’s uncommitted secured standby letter of credit facility agreements contain various representations, warranties and covenants that White Mountains considers to be customary for such borrowings. Kudu Credit Facility On March 23, 2021, Kudu entered into a secured revolving credit facility (the “Kudu Credit Facility”) with Mass Mutual to repay its prior credit facility and to fund new investments and related transaction expenses. The maximum borrowing capacity of the Kudu Credit Facility is $300.0 million. The Kudu Credit Facility matures on March 23, 2036. Interest on the Kudu Credit Facility accrues at a floating interest rate equal to the greater of the three month LIBOR or 0.25% plus, in each case, 4.30%. The Kudu Credit Facility requires Kudu to maintain an interest reserve account, which is included in restricted cash. As of March 31, 2023, the interest reserve account had a balance of $13.0 million. The Kudu Credit Facility requires Kudu to maintain a ratio of the outstanding balance to the sum of the fair market value of Kudu’s Participation Contracts and cash held in certain accounts (the “LTV Percentage”) of less than 50% in years 0-3, 40% in years 4-6, 25% in years 7-8, 15% in years 9-10, and 0% thereafter. As of March 31, 2023, Kudu had a 28.8% LTV Percentage. Kudu may borrow undrawn balances within the initial three-year availability period, subject to customary terms and conditions, to the extent the amount borrowed under the Kudu Credit Facility does not exceed the borrowing base, which is equal to 35% of the fair value of Kudu’s qualifying Participation Contracts. When considering the fair value of Kudu’s qualifying Participation Contracts as of March 31, 2023, the available undrawn balance was $47.4 million. The following table presents the change in debt under the Kudu Credit Facility for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022: Three Months Ended March 31, Millions 2023 2022 Kudu Credit Facility Beginning balance $ 215.2 $ 225.4 Term loans Borrowings — — Repayments (16.9) — Ending balance $ 198.3 $ 225.4 The Kudu Credit Facility is secured by all property of the loan parties and contains various affirmative and negative covenants that White Mountains considers to be customary for such borrowings. Other Operations Debt As of March 31, 2023, White Mountains’s Other Operations had debt with an outstanding balance of $34.3 million, which consisted of four secured credit facilities (collectively, “Other Operations debt”). Compliance At March 31, 2023, White Mountains was in compliance, in all material respects, with all of the covenants under its debt instruments. |

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Income Taxes | Income Taxes The Company and its Bermuda domiciled subsidiaries are not subject to Bermuda income tax under current Bermuda law. In the event there is a change in the current law such that taxes are imposed, the Bermuda Exempted Undertakings Tax Protection Act of 1966 states that the Company and its Bermuda domiciled subsidiaries would be exempt from such tax until March 31, 2035. The Company has subsidiaries and branches that operate in various other jurisdictions around the world and are subject to tax in the jurisdictions in which they operate. As of March 31, 2023, the primary jurisdictions in which the Company’s subsidiaries and branches were subject to tax include Ireland, Israel, Luxembourg, the United Kingdom and the United States. White Mountains’s income tax expense related to pre-tax income from continuing operations for the three months ended March 31, 2023 represented an effective tax rate of 6.0%. The effective tax rate was different from the U.S. statutory rate of 21.0%, driven primarily by full year forecasted income in jurisdictions with lower tax rates than the United States. White Mountains’s income tax benefit related to pre-tax loss from continuing operations for the three months ended March 31, 2022 represented an effective tax rate of 18.2%. The effective tax rate was different from the U.S. statutory rate of 21.0%, driven primarily by income in jurisdictions with lower tax rates than the United States and a decrease in the full valuation allowance on net deferred tax assets in certain U.S. operations within Other Operations, partially offset by an increase in the full valuation allowance at BAM and state income taxes. On April 1, 2023, the U.K. corporate tax rate increased from 19.0% to 25.0%. On August 16, 2022, the U.S. enacted the Inflation Reduction Act (the “IRA”). White Mountains has evaluated the tax provisions of the IRA, the most significant of which relate to the corporate alternative minimum tax and the tax on share repurchases, and does not expect the legislation to have a material impact on the results of its operations. In arriving at the effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, White Mountains forecasted all income and expense items including the change in unrealized investment gains (losses) and realized investment gains (losses) for the years ending December 31, 2023 and 2022. White Mountains records a valuation allowance against deferred tax assets if it becomes more likely than not that all or a portion of a deferred tax asset will not be realized. Changes in valuation allowances from period to period are included in income tax expense in the period of change. In determining whether or not a valuation allowance, or change therein, is warranted, White Mountains considers factors such as prior earnings history, expected future earnings, carryback and carryforward periods and strategies that if executed would result in the realization of a deferred tax asset. With few exceptions, White Mountains is no longer subject to U.S. federal, state, or non-U.S. income tax examinations by tax authorities for years before 2017. |

Derivatives | Derivatives HG Global Interest Rate Cap On June 16, 2022, HG entered into an interest rate cap agreement, effective on July 25, 2022, to limit its exposure to the risk of interest rate increases on the HG Global Senior Notes. The notional amount of the interest rate cap is $150.0 million and the termination date is July 25, 2025. HG paid initial premiums of $3.3 million for the interest rate cap. Under the terms of the interest rate cap agreement, if the current three-month SOFR rate at the measurement date exceeds 3.5%, HG will receive payments from the counterparty equal to the difference between the three-month SOFR rate on the determination date and 3.5%, multiplied by the notional amount of the cap based on the number of days in the quarter. As of March 31, 2023, the three-month SOFR rate was 4.9%. HG accounts for the interest rate cap as a derivative at fair value, with changes in fair value recognized in current period earnings within interest expense. For the three months ended March 31, 2023, White Mountains recognized a loss of $0.7 million related to the change in fair value on the interest rate cap within interest expense. For the three months ended March 31, 2023, White Mountains received a payment of $0.2 million related to the periodic settlement of the interest rate cap. As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the estimated fair value of the interest rate cap recorded in other assets was $3.4 million and $4.1 million. White Mountains classifies the interest rate cap as a Level 2 measurement. |

Guarantees [Abstract] | |
Municipal Bond Guarantee Insurance | Municipal Bond Guarantee Insurance HG Global was established to fund the startup of BAM, a mutual municipal bond insurer. HG Global, together with its subsidiaries, provided the initial capitalization of BAM through the purchase of $503.0 million of the BAM Surplus Notes. Reinsurance Treaties FLRT BAM is a party to a first loss reinsurance treaty (“FLRT”) with HG Re under which HG Re provides first loss protection up to 15%-of-par outstanding on each municipal bond insured by BAM. For capital appreciation bonds, par is adjusted to the estimated equivalent par value for current interest paying bonds. In return, BAM cedes approximately 60% of the risk premium charged for insuring the municipal bond, which is net of a ceding commission. The FLRT is a perpetual agreement with terms that can be renegotiated after a specified period of time. During 2021, BAM and HG Re agreed that the terms may be renegotiated at the end of 2024, and each subsequent five-year period thereafter. Fidus Re BAM is party to a collateralized financial guarantee excess of loss reinsurance agreement that serves to increase BAM’s claims paying resources and is provided by Fidus Re Ltd. (“Fidus Re”). In 2018, Fidus Re was initially capitalized by the issuance of $100.0 million of insurance-linked securities (the “Fidus Re 2018 Agreement”), which have an initial term of 12 years and are callable five years after the date of issuance. The proceeds from issuance were placed in a collateral trust supporting Fidus Re’s obligations to BAM. Under the Fidus Re 2018 Agreement, Fidus Re reinsures 90% of aggregate losses exceeding $165.0 million on a portion of BAM’s financial guarantee portfolio (the “2018 Covered Portfolio”) up to a total reimbursement of $100.0 million. The Fidus Re 2018 Agreement does not provide coverage for losses in excess of $276.1 million. The 2018 Covered Portfolio consists of approximately 26% of BAM’s gross par outstanding as of March 31, 2023. In 2021, Fidus Re issued an additional $150.0 million of insurance-linked securities (the “Fidus Re 2021 Agreement”), which have an initial term of 12 years and are callable five years after the date of issuance. The proceeds from issuance were placed in a collateral trust supporting Fidus Re’s obligations to BAM. Under the Fidus Re 2021 Agreement, Fidus Re reinsures 90% of aggregate losses exceeding $135.0 million on a portion of BAM’s financial guarantee portfolio (the “2021 Covered Portfolio”) up to a total reimbursement of $150.0 million. The Fidus Re 2021 Agreement does not provide coverage for losses in excess of $301.7 million. The 2021 Covered Portfolio consists of approximately 31% of BAM’s gross par outstanding as of March 31, 2023. In 2022, Fidus Re issued an additional $150.0 million of insurance linked securities (the “Fidus Re 2022 Agreement”), which have an initial term of 12 years and are callable seven years after the date of issuance. The proceeds from issuance were placed in a collateral trust supporting Fidus Re’s obligations to BAM. Under the Fidus Re 2022 Agreement, Fidus Re reinsures 90% of aggregate losses exceeding $110.0 million on a portion of BAM’s financial guarantee portfolio (the “2022 Covered Portfolio”) up to a total reimbursement of $150.0 million. The Fidus Re 2022 Agreement does not provide coverage for losses in excess of $276.7 million. The 2022 Covered Portfolio consists of approximately 32% of BAM’s gross par outstanding as of March 31, 2023. The Fidus Re agreements are accounted for using deposit accounting and any related financing expenses are recorded in general and administrative expenses as they do not meet the risk transfer requirements necessary to be accounted for as reinsurance. XOLT In January 2020, BAM entered into an excess of loss reinsurance agreement (the “XOLT”) with HG Re. Under the XOLT, HG Re provides last dollar protection for exposures on municipal bonds insured by BAM in excess of the New York State Department of Financial Services (“NYDFS”) single issuer limits. As of March 31, 2023, the XOLT is subject to an aggregate limit equal to the lesser of $125.0 million or the assets held in the supplemental collateral trust (the “Supplemental Trust”) at any point in time. The agreement is accounted for using deposit accounting and any related financing expenses are recorded in general and administrative expenses as the agreement does not meet the risk transfer requirements necessary to be accounted for as reinsurance. Collateral Trusts HG Re’s obligations under the FLRT are subject to an aggregate limit equal to the assets in two collateral trusts, the Supplemental Trust and the Regulation 114 Trust (together, the “Collateral Trusts”), at any point in time. On a monthly basis, BAM deposits cash equal to ceded premiums, net of ceding commissions, due to HG Re under the FLRT directly into the Regulation 114 Trust. The Regulation 114 Trust target balance is equal to HG Re’s unearned premiums and unpaid loss and LAE reserves, if any. If, at the end of any quarter, the Regulation 114 Trust balance is below the target balance, funds will be withdrawn from the Supplemental Trust and deposited into the Regulation 114 Trust in an amount equal to the shortfall. If, at the end of any quarter, the Regulation 114 Trust balance is above 102% of the target balance, funds will be withdrawn from the Regulation 114 Trust and deposited into the Supplemental Trust. The Regulation 114 Trust balance as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 was $300.8 million and $288.6 million. The Supplemental Trust target balance is $603.0 million, less the amount of cash and securities in the Regulation 114 Trust in excess of its target balance (the “Supplemental Trust Target Balance”). If, at the end of any quarter, the Supplemental Trust balance exceeds the Supplemental Trust Target Balance, such excess may be distributed to HG Re. The distribution will be made first as an assignment of accrued interest on the BAM Surplus Notes and second in cash and/or fixed income securities. As the BAM Surplus Notes are repaid over time, the BAM Surplus Notes will be replaced in the Supplemental Trust by cash and fixed income securities. The Supplemental Trust balance as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 was $579.9 million and $568.3 million. As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Collateral Trusts held assets of $880.7 million and $856.9 million, which included $520.6 million and $503.3 million of cash and investments, $340.0 million and $340.0 million of BAM Surplus Notes and $20.1 million and $13.6 million of interest receivable on the BAM Surplus Notes. BAM Surplus Notes Through 2024, the interest rate on the BAM Surplus Notes is a variable rate equal to the one-year U.S. Treasury rate plus 300 basis points, set annually. During 2023, the interest rate on the BAM Surplus Notes is 7.7%. Beginning in 2025, the interest rate will be fixed at the higher of the then current variable rate or 8.0%. Under its agreements with HG Global, BAM is required to seek regulatory approval to pay principal and interest on the BAM Surplus Notes only to the extent that its remaining qualified statutory capital and other capital resources continue to support its outstanding obligations, its business plan and its “AA/stable” rating from Standard & Poor’s. No payment of principal or interest on the BAM Surplus Notes may be made without the approval of the NYDFS. In December 2022, BAM made a $36.0 million cash payment of principal and interest on the BAM Surplus Notes held by HG Global. Of this payment, $24.6 million was a repayment of principal held in the Supplemental Trust, $1.0 million was a payment of accrued interest held in the Supplemental Trust and $10.4 million was a payment of accrued interest held outside the Supplemental Trust. During the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, BAM made no repayments of the BAM Surplus Notes or accrued interest. As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the principal balance on the BAM Surplus Notes was $340.0 million for both periods and total interest receivable on the BAM Surplus Notes was $164.5 million and $157.9 million.

Earnings Per Share [Abstract] | |
Earnings Per Share | Earnings Per Share White Mountains calculates earnings per share using the two-class method, which allocates earnings between common shares and unvested restricted common shares. Both classes of shares participate equally in dividends and earnings on a per share basis. Basic earnings per share amounts are based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding adjusted for unvested restricted common shares. The following table presents the Company’s computation of earnings per share from continuing operations for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022.

Share-Based Payment Arrangement [Abstract] | |
Employee Share-Based Incentive Compensation Plans | Employee Share-Based Incentive Compensation Plans White Mountains’s share-based incentive compensation plans are designed to incentivize key employees to maximize shareholder value over long periods of time. White Mountains believes that this is best pursued by utilizing a pay-for-performance program that closely aligns the financial interests of management with those of its shareholders while rewarding appropriate risk taking. White Mountains accomplishes this by emphasizing variable long-term compensation that is contingent on performance over a number of years rather than fixed entitlements. White Mountains expenses all its share-based compensation. As a result, White Mountains’s calculation of its owners’ returns includes the expense of all outstanding share-based compensation awards. White Mountains’s Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “WTM Incentive Plan”) provides for grants of various types of share-based and non-share-based incentive awards to key employees and directors of White Mountains. As of March 31, 2023 and 2022, White Mountains’s share-based incentive compensation awards consist of performance shares and restricted shares. Performance Shares Performance shares are designed to reward employees for meeting company-wide performance targets. Performance shares are conditional grants of a specified maximum number of common shares or an equivalent amount of cash. Awards generally vest at the end of a three-year service period, are subject to the attainment of pre-specified performance goals, and are valued based on the market value of common shares at the time awards are paid. Performance shares earned under the WTM Incentive Plan are typically paid in cash but may be paid in common shares. Compensation expense is recognized for the vested portion of the awards over the related service periods. The level of payout ranges from zero to two times the number of shares initially granted, depending on White Mountains’s financial performance. Performance shares become payable at the conclusion of a performance cycle (typically three years) if pre-defined financial targets are met. The performance measures used for determining performance share payouts are growth in White Mountains’s adjusted book value per share and intrinsic value per share. Intrinsic value per share is generally calculated by adjusting adjusted book value per share for differences between the adjusted book value of certain assets and liabilities and White Mountains’s estimate of their underlying intrinsic values. The following table presents the performance share activity for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 for performance shares granted under the WTM Incentive Plan: Three Months Ended March 31, 2023 2022 $ in Millions Target Performance Accrued Target Performance Accrued Beginning of period 39,449 $ 67.5 40,828 $ 42.2 Shares paid (1) (13,350) (40.8) (14,625) (26.4) New grants 10,895 — 13,075 — Forfeitures and cancellations (2) 37 .4 24 .3 Expense recognized — 9.3 — 5.8 End of period 37,031 $ 36.4 39,302 $ 21.9 (1) WTM performance share payments in 2023 for the 2020-2022 performance cycle, which were paid in March 2023 at 200% of target. WTM performance share payments in 2022 for the 2019-2021 performance cycle, which were paid in March 2022 at 172% of target. (2) Amounts include changes in assumed forfeitures, as required under GAAP. During the three months ended March 31, 2023, White Mountains granted 10,895 performance shares for the 2023-2025 performance cycle. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, White Mountains granted 13,075 performance shares for the 2022-2024 performance cycle. For the 2020-2022 performance cycle, all performance shares earned were settled in cash. For the 2019-2021 performance cycle, the Company issued common shares for 750 performance shares earned, and all other performance shares earned were settled in cash. If the outstanding performance shares had vested on March 31, 2023, the total additional compensation cost to be recognized would have been $44.6 million, based on accrual factors as of March 31, 2023 (common share price and payout assumptions).

Segment Reporting [Abstract] | |
Segment Information | Segment Information As of March 31, 2023, White Mountains conducted its operations through three reportable segments: (1) HG Global/BAM, (2) Ark/WM Outrigger, and (3) Kudu, with our remaining operating businesses, holding companies and other assets included in Other Operations. White Mountains has made its segment determination based on consideration of the following criteria: (i) the nature of the business activities of each of the Company’s subsidiaries and affiliates; (ii) the manner in which the Company’s subsidiaries and affiliates are organized; (iii) the existence of primary managers responsible for specific subsidiaries and affiliates; and (iv) the organization of information provided to the chief operating decision makers and the Board of Directors. Significant intercompany transactions among White Mountains’s segments have been eliminated herein. During the fourth quarter of 2022, Ark sponsored the formation of Outrigger Re Ltd. to provide reinsurance protection on Ark’s Bermuda global property catastrophe excess of loss portfolio written in calendar year 2023. White Mountains consolidates its segregated account of Outrigger Re Ltd., WM Outrigger Re, in its financial statements. WM Outrigger Re’s quota share reinsurance agreement with GAIL eliminates in White Mountains’s consolidated financial statements. WM Outrigger Re exclusively provides reinsurance protection to Ark. As a result, WM Outrigger Re was aggregated with Ark within the Ark/WM Outrigger segment starting in 2023. See Note 2 — “Significant Transactions.” As a result of the NSM Transaction, the results of operations for NSM, previously reported as a segment, have been classified as discontinued operations in the statements of operations and comprehensive income through the closing of the transaction. See Note 19 — “Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations.” Prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period’s presentation.

Variable Interest Entity, Not Primary Beneficiary, Disclosures [Abstract] | |
Variable Interest Entities | Variable Interest Entities BAM BAM is owned by and operated for the benefit of its members, the municipalities that purchase BAM’s insurance for their debt issuances. However, the equity at risk funded by BAM’s members is not sufficient to fund its operations without the additional financial support provided by the BAM Surplus Notes and accordingly, White Mountains has determined that BAM is a VIE. Pursuant to the FLRT, BAM’s underwriting guidelines may only be amended with the consent of HG Re. In addition, HG Holdings Ltd, a subsidiary of HG Global, has the right to designate two directors for election to BAM’s Board of Directors. As a result, we have determined that White Mountains is the primary beneficiary and is required to consolidate BAM’s results in its financial statements. Since BAM is owned by its members, its equity and results of operations are included in noncontrolling interests. HG Re’s obligations under the FLRT are subject to an aggregate limit equal to the assets in the Collateral Trusts at any point in time. WM Outrigger Re White Mountains has determined that Outrigger Re Ltd. and WM Outrigger Re are VIEs. White Mountains is not the primary beneficiary of Outrigger Re Ltd. or the other segregated accounts. White Mountains is the primary beneficiary of WM Outrigger Re, as it has both the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact WM Outrigger Re’s economic performance and the obligation to absorb losses, or the right to receive returns, that could potentially be significant to WM Outrigger Re. As a result, White Mountains consolidates WM Outrigger Re’s results in its financial statements. The assets of WM Outrigger Re can only be used to settle the liabilities of WM Outrigger Re, and there is no recourse to the Company for any creditors of WM Outrigger Re. PassportCard/DavidShield As of March 31, 2023, White Mountains’s ownership interest in PassportCard/DavidShield was 53.8%. White Mountains has determined that both PassportCard and DavidShield are VIEs but that White Mountains is not the primary beneficiary and therefore does not consolidate either PassportCard or DavidShield. The governance structures for both PassportCard and DavidShield were designed to give White Mountains and its co-investor equal power to make the decisions that most significantly impact operations. White Mountains does not have the unilateral power to direct the operations of PassportCard or DavidShield and does not hold a controlling financial interest. White Mountains’s ownership interest gives White Mountains the ability to exert significant influence over the significant financial and operating activities of PassportCard/DavidShield. Accordingly, White Mountains’s investment in PassportCard/DavidShield meets the criteria to be accounted for under the equity method. White Mountains has taken the fair value option for its investment in PassportCard/DavidShield. Changes in the fair value of PassportCard/DavidShield are recorded in net realized and unrealized investment gains (losses). As of March 31, 2023, White Mountains’s maximum exposure to loss on its equity investment in PassportCard/DavidShield and the non-interest-bearing loan to its partner is the total carrying value of $149.7 million. Elementum As of March 31, 2023, White Mountains’s ownership interest in Elementum was 26.6%. White Mountains has determined that Elementum is a VIE but that White Mountains is not the primary beneficiary and therefore does not consolidate Elementum. White Mountains’s ownership interest gives White Mountains the ability to exert significant influence over the significant financial and operating activities of Elementum. Accordingly, Elementum meets the criteria to be accounted for under the equity method. White Mountains has taken the fair value option for its investment in Elementum. Changes in the fair value of Elementum are recorded in net realized and unrealized investment gains (losses). As of March 31, 2023, White Mountains’s maximum exposure to loss on its limited partnership interest in Elementum is the carrying value of $30.0 million. Limited Partnerships White Mountains’s investments in limited partnerships are generally considered VIEs because the limited partnership interests do not have substantive kick-out rights or participating rights. White Mountains does not have the unilateral power to direct the operations of these limited partnerships, and therefore White Mountains is not the primary beneficiary and does not consolidate the limited partnerships. White Mountains has taken the fair value option for its investments in limited partnerships, which are generally measured at NAV as a practical expedient. As of March 31, 2023, White Mountains’s maximum exposure to loss on its investments in limited partnerships is the carrying value of $159.4 million. |

See Note 2 — “Significant Transactions.” As a result of the NSM Transaction, the assets and liabilities of NSM Group have been presented in the balance sheet as held for sale for periods prior to the closing of the transaction, and the results of operations for NSM Group have been classified as discontinued operations in the statements of operations and comprehensive income through the closing of the transaction. Prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period’s presentation. Net Income (Loss) from Discontinued Operations The following table summarizes the results of operations, including related income taxes associated with the businesses classified as discontinued operations for the three months ended March 31, 2022: Millions Three Months Ended Revenues Commission revenues $ 70.1 Other revenues 18.4 Total revenues 88.5 Expenses General and administrative expenses 54.0 Broker commission expenses 20.6 Change in fair value of contingent consideration .1 Amortization of other intangible assets 9.1 Interest expense 2.1 Total expenses 85.9 Pre-tax income (loss) from discontinued operations 2.6 Income tax (expense) benefit 1.1 Net income (loss) from discontinued operations, net of tax 3.7 Net (income) loss from discontinued operations attributable to noncontrolling interests (.1) Total income (loss) from discontinued operations attributable to White 3.6 Other comprehensive income (loss) from discontinued operations, net of tax (1.9) Comprehensive income (loss) from discontinued operations 1.7 Other comprehensive income (loss) from discontinued operations attributable to .1 Comprehensive income (loss) from discontinued operations attributable to $ 1.8 Net Change in Cash from Discontinued Operations The following table summarizes the net change in cash associated with the businesses classified as discontinued operations for the three months ended March 31, 2022: Millions Three Months Ended Net cash provided from (used for) operations $ 4.4 Net cash provided from (used for) investing activities 7.3 Net cash used from (used for) financing activities (10.3) Effect of exchange rate changes on cash .6 Net change in cash during the period 2.0 Cash balances at beginning of period (includes restricted cash of $89.2) 111.6 Cash balances at end of period (includes restricted cash of $90.2 ) 113.6 Supplemental cash flows information: Interest paid $ (2.9) Net income tax payments $ — Earnings Per Share from Discontinued Operations White Mountains calculates earnings per share using the two-class method, which allocates earnings between common and unvested restricted common shares. Both classes of shares participate equally in earnings on a per share basis. Basic earnings per share amounts are based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding adjusted for unvested restricted common shares. Diluted earnings per share amounts are also impacted by the net effect of potentially dilutive common shares outstanding. The following table presents the Company’s computation of earnings per share for discontinued operations for the three months ended March 31, 2022: Three Months Ended Basic and diluted earnings per share numerators (in millions): Net income (loss) attributable to White Mountains’s common shareholders $ 33.4 Less: net income (loss) from continuing operations (12.1) Less: net (income) loss from continuing operations attributable to noncontrolling 41.9 Total gain (loss) from discontinued operations attributable to White Mountains’s common shareholders (1) 3.6 Allocation of earnings to participating restricted common shares (2) — Basic and diluted earnings per share numerators (3) $ 3.6 Basic earnings per share denominators (in thousands): Total average common shares outstanding during the period 3,006.2 Average unvested restricted common shares (4) (29.6) Basic earnings per share denominator 2,976.6 Diluted earnings per share denominator (in thousands): Total average common shares outstanding during the period 3,006.2 Average unvested restricted common shares (4) (29.6) Diluted earnings per share denominator 2,976.6 Basic and diluted earnings (losses) per share (in dollars) - discontinued operations: $ 1.20 (1) Includes net income (loss) from discontinued operations, net of tax - NSM Group (2) Restricted shares issued by White Mountains receive dividends, and therefore, are considered participating securities.

Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Basis of Presentation | Basis of Presentation White Mountains Insurance Group, Ltd. (the “Company” or the “Registrant”) is an exempted Bermuda limited liability company whose principal businesses are conducted through its subsidiaries and other affiliates. The Company’s headquarters is located at 26 Reid Street, Hamilton, Bermuda HM 11, its principal executive office is located at 23 South Main Street, Suite 3B, Hanover, New Hampshire 03755-2053 and its registered office is located at Clarendon House, 2 Church Street, Hamilton, Bermuda HM 11. The Company’s website is www.whitemountains.com. The information contained on White Mountains’s website is not incorporated by reference into, and is not a part of, this report. The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) and include the accounts of the Company, its subsidiaries (collectively with the Company, “White Mountains”) and other entities required to be consolidated under GAAP. Intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Certain amounts in the prior period financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation. The preparation of 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 as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. |
Reportable Segments | Reportable Segments As of March 31, 2023, White Mountains conducted its operations through three reportable segments: (1) HG Global/BAM, (2) Ark/WM Outrigger, and (3) Kudu, with our remaining operating businesses, holding companies and other assets included in Other Operations. White Mountains has made its segment determination based on consideration of the following criteria: (i) the nature of the business activities of each of the Company’s subsidiaries and affiliates; (ii) the manner in which the Company’s subsidiaries and affiliates are organized; (iii) the existence of primary managers responsible for specific subsidiaries and affiliates; and (iv) the organization of information provided to the Company’s chief operating decision makers and its Board of Directors. See Note 14 — “Segment Information.” The HG Global/BAM segment consists of HG Global Ltd. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (collectively, “HG Global”) and the consolidated results of Build America Mutual Assurance Company (“BAM”) (collectively with HG Global, “HG Global/BAM”). BAM is the first and only mutual municipal bond insurance company in the United States. By insuring the timely payment of principal and interest, BAM provides market access to, and lowers interest expense for, issuers of municipal bonds used to finance essential public purpose projects, such as schools, utilities and transportation facilities. BAM is owned by and operated for the benefit of its members, the municipalities that purchase BAM’s insurance for their debt issuances. HG Global was established to fund the startup of BAM and, through its reinsurance subsidiary, HG Re Ltd. (“HG Re”), to provide up to 15%-of-par, first loss reinsurance protection for policies underwritten by BAM. HG Global, together with its subsidiaries, funded the initial capitalization of BAM through the purchase of $503.0 million of surplus notes issued by BAM (the “BAM Surplus Notes”). As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, White Mountains owned 96.9% of HG Global’s preferred equity and 88.4% of its common equity. White Mountains does not have an ownership interest in BAM. However, White Mountains is required to consolidate BAM’s results in its financial statements because BAM is a variable interest entity (“VIE”) for which White Mountains is the primary beneficiary. BAM’s results are all attributed to noncontrolling interests. The Ark/WM Outrigger segment consists of Ark Insurance Holdings Limited and its subsidiaries (collectively, “Ark”) and Outrigger Re Ltd. Segregated Account 2023-1 (“WM Outrigger Re”) (collectively with Ark, “Ark/WM Outrigger”). Ark is a specialty property and casualty insurance and reinsurance company that offers a wide range of niche insurance and reinsurance products, including property, specialty, marine & energy, casualty and accident & health. Ark underwrites select coverages through Lloyd’s Syndicates 4020 and 3902 (the “Syndicates”) and its wholly-owned subsidiary Group Ark Insurance Limited (“GAIL”). White Mountains acquired a controlling ownership interest in Ark on January 1, 2021 (the “Ark Transaction”). As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, White Mountains owned 72.0% of Ark on a basic shares outstanding basis (63.0% after taking account of management’s equity incentives). The remaining shares are owned by current and former employees. In the future, management rollover shareholders could earn additional shares in Ark if and to the extent that White Mountains achieves certain multiple of invested capital return thresholds. If fully earned, these additional shares would represent 12.5% of the shares outstanding at closing. For the years of account prior to the Ark Transaction, a significant proportion of the Syndicates’ underwriting capital was provided by third-party insurance and reinsurance groups (“TPC Providers”) using whole account reinsurance contracts with Ark’s corporate member. For the years of account subsequent to the Ark Transaction, Ark is no longer using TPC Providers to provide underwriting capital for the Syndicates. Captions within results of operations and other comprehensive income for the three months ended March 31, 2022 are shown net of amounts relating to the TPC Providers’ share of the Syndicates’ results, including investment results. During the fourth quarter of 2022, Ark sponsored the formation of Outrigger Re Ltd., a Bermuda company registered as a special purpose insurer and segregated accounts company, to provide collateralized reinsurance protection on Ark’s Bermuda global property catastrophe excess of loss portfolio written in calendar year 2023. Outrigger Re Ltd. issued non-voting redeemable preference shares on behalf of four segregated accounts to White Mountains and unrelated third party investors. White Mountains consolidates the results of its segregated account, WM Outrigger Re, in its financial statements. See Note 2 — “Significant Transactions.” As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, White Mountains owned 100.0% of WM Outrigger Re’s preferred equity. The Kudu segment consists of Kudu Investment Management, LLC and its subsidiaries (collectively “Kudu”). Kudu provides capital solutions for boutique asset and wealth managers for a variety of purposes including generational ownership transfers, management buyouts, acquisition and growth finance and legacy partner liquidity. Kudu also provides strategic assistance to investees from time to time. Kudu’s capital solutions generally are structured as minority preferred equity stakes with distribution rights, typically tied to gross revenues and designed to generate immediate cash yields. As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, White Mountains owned 89.2% and 89.3% of Kudu’s basic units outstanding (76.1% and 76.1% on a fully diluted, fully converted basis). White Mountains’s Other Operations consists of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, White Mountains Capital, LLC (“WM Capital”), its other intermediate holding companies, its wholly-owned investment management subsidiary, White Mountains Advisors LLC (“WM Advisors”), investment assets managed by WM Advisors, its interests in MediaAlpha, Inc. (“MediaAlpha”), PassportCard Limited (“PassportCard”) and DavidShield Life Insurance Agency (2000) Ltd. (“DavidShield”) (collectively, “PassportCard/ DavidShield”), Elementum Holdings LP (“Elementum”), certain other consolidated and unconsolidated entities (“Other Operating Businesses”) and certain other assets. |
Discontinued Operations | Discontinued Operations On August 1, 2022, White Mountains Holdings (Luxembourg) S.à r.l. (“WTM Holdings Seller”), an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of White Mountains, completed the sale of White Mountains Catskill Holdings, Inc. and NSM Insurance HoldCo, LLC (“NSM” and, collectively with White Mountains Catskill Holdings, Inc., the “NSM Group”) to Riser Merger Sub, Inc., an affiliate of The Carlyle Group Inc.

See Note 2 — “Significant Transactions. ” NSM is a full-service managing general agent (“MGA”) and program administrator with delegated binding authorities for specialty property and casualty insurance. As a result of the NSM Transaction, the assets and liabilities of NSM Group have been presented in the balance sheet as held for sale for periods prior to the closing of the transaction, and the results of operations for NSM Group have been classified as discontinued operations in the statements of operations and comprehensive income through the closing of the transaction. Prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period’s presentation. See Note 19 — “Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations.” |

Fair value measurements by level, investment securities | The following tables present White Mountains’s fair value measurements for investments as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 by level. The major security types were based on the legal form of the securities. White Mountains has disaggregated its fixed maturity investments based on the issuing entity type, which impacts credit quality, with debt securities issued by U.S. government entities carrying minimal credit risk, while the credit and other risks associated with other issuers, such as corporations, municipalities or entities issuing mortgage and asset-backed securities vary depending on the nature of the issuing entity type. White Mountains further disaggregates debt securities issued by corporations by industry sector because investors often reference commonly used benchmarks and their subsectors to monitor risk and performance. Accordingly, White Mountains has further disaggregated this asset class into subclasses based on the similar sectors and industry classifications it uses to evaluate investment risk and performance against commonly used benchmarks, such as the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Intermediate Aggregate.
