Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] | |
Basis of Presentation and Recent Accounting Pronouncements | Basis of Presentation and Recent Accounting Pronouncements General Arch Capital Group Ltd. (“Arch Capital”) is a Bermuda public limited liability company which provides insurance, reinsurance and mortgage insurance on a worldwide basis through its wholly-owned subsidiaries. As used herein, the “Company” means Arch Capital and its subsidiaries. The Company’s consolidated financial statements include the results of Watford Holdings Ltd. and its wholly owned subsidiaries. See note 11 . On January 1, 2019, the Company’s U.K. insurance operations entered into a transaction with The Ardonagh Group to acquire renewal rights for a U.K. commercial lines book of business, consisting of commercial property, casualty, motor, professional liability, personal accident and travel business. Basis of Presentation The interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. 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 at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates and assumptions. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting of normally recurring accruals) necessary for a fair statement of results on an interim basis. The results of any interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results for a full year or any future periods. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted; however, management believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. This report should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 (“2018 Form 10-K”), including the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and related notes. The Company has reclassified the presentation of certain prior year information to conform to the current presentation. Such reclassifications had no effect on the Company’s net income, comprehensive income, shareholders’ equity or cash flows. Tabular amounts are in U.S. Dollars in thousands, except share amounts, unless otherwise noted. Recent Accounting Pronouncements Recently Issued Accounting Standards Adopted The Company adopted ASU 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842)”, which provides a new comprehensive model for lease accounting. Topic 842 requires a lessee to recognize a liability to make lease payments (the lease liability) and a right-of-use asset representing its right to use the underlying asset for the lease term. The Company adopted the modified retrospective approach of this standard, that resulted in the recognition of a right-of-use asset of $147.9 million as part of other assets and a lease liability of $163.6 million as part of other liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet as of January 1, 2019. The Company de-recognized the liability for deferred rent that was required under the previous guidance. In addition, the Company adopted ASU 2018-11, “Leases: Targeted Improvements (Topic 842),” which provides an additional (optional) transition method to adopt the new lease standard. The Company adopted the alternative transition method and elected to utilize a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of the retained earnings for the year of adoption. As such, the Company’s reporting for the comparative periods prior to the adoption continue to be presented in the financial statements in accordance with previous lease accounting guidance. The Company also adopted the practical expedients as a package which allows the Company to not reassess (1) whether any expired or existing contracts are or contain leases (2) the lease classification for any expired or existing leases (3) initial direct costs for any existing leases and (4) to account for the lease and non lease components as a single lease component. In addition to electing the practical expedients as a package, the Company elected to include hindsight to determine the lease term of existing leases, and made an accounting policy election to not apply the recognition requirements to short-term leases (lease term of less than twelve months). The cumulative effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings was zero . The adoption of the updated guidance did not have a material effect on the Company’s results of operations or liquidity. The Company adopted ASU 2018-07 “Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting,” which was issued in June 2018 to simplify the accounting for share-based payments granted to nonemployees for goods and services. Under this ASU, most of the guidance on such payments to nonemployees would be aligned with the requirements for share-based payments granted to employees. The ASU is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018. This guidance and the adoption of this provision did not have a material effect on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows. The Company adopted ASU 2018-02 “Income Statement-Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220) - Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income,” which was issued in February 2018 to allow the reclassification of the stranded tax effects in accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”) resulting from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (“Tax Cuts Act”). Current guidance requires the effect of a change in tax laws or rates on deferred tax balances to be reported in income from continuing operations in the accounting period that includes the period of enactment, even if the related income tax effects were originally charged or credited directly to AOCI. The amount of the reclassification would include the effect of the change in the U.S. federal corporate income tax rate on the gross deferred tax amounts and related valuation allowances, if any, at the date of the enactment of the Tax Cuts Act related to items in AOCI. The updated guidance is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018 and is to be applied retrospectively to each period in which the effect of the Tax Cuts Act related to items remaining in AOCI are recognized or at the beginning of the period of adoption. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material effect on the Company’s results of operations, financial position or liquidity. The Company adopted ASU 2017-08 “Receivables - Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs (Subtopic 310-20), Premium Amortization on Purchased Callable Debt Securities,” which was issued in March, 2017. This ASU shortens the amortization period for certain callable debt securities held at a premium and requires the premium to be amortized to the earliest call date. However, the new guidance does not require an accounting change for securities held at a discount whose discount continues to be amortized to maturity. The standard is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. The adoption of the guidance requires a modified retrospective approach with a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Recently Issued Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted For information regarding additional accounting standards that the Company has not yet adopted, see note 3(q), “Significant Accounting Policies—Recent Accounting Pronouncements,” of the notes to consolidated financial statements in the Company’s 2018 Form 10-K. |

Stockholders' Equity Note [Abstract] | |
Share Transactions | Share Transactions Share Repurchases The board of directors of Arch Capital has authorized the investment in Arch Capital’s common shares through a share repurchase program. Since the inception of the share repurchase program, Arch Capital has repurchased 386.3 million common shares for an aggregate purchase price of $3.97 billion . For the six months ended June 30, 2019 , Arch Capital repurchased 0.1 million shares under the share repurchase program with an aggregate purchase price of $2.9 million . Arch Capital repurchased 6.5 million shares under the share repurchase program with an aggregate purchase price of $173.6 million during the six months ended June 30, 2018 . At June 30, 2019 , $160.9 million of share repurchases were available under the program, which may be effected from time to time in open market or privately negotiated transactions through December 31, 2019. The timing and amount of the repurchase transactions under this program will depend on a variety of factors, including market conditions and corporate and regulatory considerations. Conversion of Convertible Non-Voting Common Equivalent Preferred Shares In March 2018, Arch Capital completed an underwritten public secondary offering of 17.0 million common shares (split adjusted) by American International Group, Inc. (“AIG”) following transfer of 0.6 million Series D convertible non-voting common equivalent preferred shares (“Series D Preferred Shares”). Proceeds from the sale of common shares pursuant to the public offering were received by AIG. At June 30, 2019 , no Series D Preferred Shares were outstanding. Series C Preferred Shares On January 2, 2018, Arch Capital redeemed all outstanding 6.75% Series C non-cumulative preferred shares. The preferred shares were redeemed at a redemption price equal to $25 per share, plus all declared and unpaid dividends to (but excluding) the redemption date. In accordance with GAAP, following the redemption, original issuance costs related to such shares were removed from additional paid-in capital and recorded as a “loss on redemption of preferred shares.” Such adjustment had no impact on total shareholders’ equity or cash flows. |

Segment Reporting [Abstract] | |
Segment Information | Segment Information The Company classifies its businesses into three underwriting segments — insurance, reinsurance and mortgage — and two other operating segments — ‘other’ and corporate (non-underwriting). The Company determined its reportable segments using the management approach described in accounting guidance regarding disclosures about segments of an enterprise and related information. The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those used for the preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Intersegment business is allocated to the segment accountable for the underwriting results. The Company’s insurance, reinsurance and mortgage segments each have managers who are responsible for the overall profitability of their respective segments and who are directly accountable to the Company’s chief operating decision makers, the President and Chief Executive Officer of Arch Capital, and the Chief Financial Officer of Arch Capital. The chief operating decision makers do not assess performance, measure return on equity or make resource allocation decisions on a line of business basis. Management measures segment performance for its three underwriting segments based on underwriting income or loss. The Company does not manage its assets by underwriting segment, with the exception of goodwill and intangible assets, and, accordingly, investment income is not allocated to each underwriting segment. The insurance segment consists of the Company’s insurance underwriting units which offer specialty product lines on a worldwide basis. Product lines include: construction and national accounts; excess and surplus casualty; lenders products; professional lines; programs; property, energy, marine and aviation; travel, accident and health; and other (consisting of alternative markets, excess workers' compensation and surety business). The reinsurance segment consists of the Company’s reinsurance underwriting units which offer specialty product lines on a worldwide basis. Product lines include: casualty; marine and aviation; other specialty; property catastrophe; property excluding property catastrophe (losses on a single risk, both excess of loss and pro rata); and other (consisting of life reinsurance, casualty clash and other). The mortgage segment includes the Company’s U.S. and international mortgage insurance and reinsurance operations as well as government sponsored enterprise (“GSE”) credit-risk sharing transactions. Arch Mortgage Insurance Company and United Guaranty Residential Insurance Company (combined “Arch MI U.S.”) are approved as eligible mortgage insurers by Federal National Mortgage Association (“Fannie Mae”) and Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (“Freddie Mac”), each a GSE. The corporate (non-underwriting) segment results include net investment income, other income (loss), corporate expenses, transaction costs and other, interest expense, items related to the Company’s non-cumulative preferred shares, net realized gains or losses, net impairment losses included in earnings, equity in net income or loss of investment funds accounted for using the equity method, net foreign exchange gains or losses and income taxes. Such amounts exclude the results of the ‘other’ segment. The ‘other’ segment includes the results of Watford Holdings Ltd. Watford Holdings Ltd. is the parent of Watford Re Ltd., a multi-line Bermuda reinsurance company (together with Watford Holdings Ltd., “Watford Re”) (see note 11 ). Watford Re has its own management and board of directors that is responsible for the overall profitability of the ‘other’ segment. For the ‘other’ segment, performance is measured based on net income or loss. The following tables summarize the Company’s underwriting income or loss by segment, together with a reconciliation of underwriting income or loss to net income available to Arch common shareholders: Three Months Ended June 30, 2019 Insurance Reinsurance Mortgage Sub-Total Other Total Gross premiums written (1) $ 919,925 $ 545,547 $ 364,465 $ 1,829,829 $ 161,978 $ 1,937,809 Premiums ceded (292,095 ) (169,457 ) (42,857 ) (504,301 ) (42,608 ) (492,911 ) Net premiums written 627,830 376,090 321,608 1,325,528 119,370 1,444,898 Change in unearned premiums (35,388 ) (8,906 ) 31,175 (13,119 ) 31,948 18,829 Net premiums earned 592,442 367,184 352,783 1,312,409 151,318 1,463,727 Other underwriting income (loss) — 1,224 4,056 5,280 673 5,953 Losses and loss adjustment expenses (389,172 ) (240,958 ) (25,997 ) (656,127 ) (111,416 ) (767,543 ) Acquisition expenses (91,094 ) (56,785 ) (32,654 ) (180,533 ) (29,556 ) (210,089 ) Other operating expenses (109,523 ) (33,960 ) (39,819 ) (183,302 ) (15,612 ) (198,914 ) Underwriting income (loss) $ 2,653 $ 36,705 $ 258,369 297,727 (4,593 ) 293,134 Net investment income 123,038 32,000 155,038 Net realized gains (losses) 125,112 (4,306 ) 120,806 Net impairment losses recognized in earnings (49 ) — (49 ) Equity in net income (loss) of investment funds accounted for using the equity method 32,536 — 32,536 Other income (loss) 1,129 — 1,129 Corporate expenses (2) (16,073 ) — (16,073 ) Transaction costs and other (2) (2,178 ) — (2,178 ) Amortization of intangible assets (19,794 ) — (19,794 ) Interest expense (23,375 ) (5,905 ) (29,280 ) Net foreign exchange gains (losses) (6,190 ) 1,238 (4,952 ) Income before income taxes 511,883 18,434 530,317 Income tax expense (44,452 ) (20 ) (44,472 ) Net income 467,431 18,414 485,845 Dividends attributable to redeemable noncontrolling interests — (4,590 ) (4,590 ) Amounts attributable to nonredeemable noncontrolling interests — (12,301 ) (12,301 ) Net income available to Arch 467,431 1,523 468,954 Preferred dividends (10,403 ) — (10,403 ) Net income available to Arch common shareholders $ 457,028 $ 1,523 $ 458,551 Underwriting Ratios Loss ratio 65.7 % 65.6 % 7.4 % 50.0 % 73.6 % 52.4 % Acquisition expense ratio 15.4 % 15.5 % 9.3 % 13.8 % 19.5 % 14.4 % Other operating expense ratio 18.5 % 9.2 % 11.3 % 14.0 % 10.3 % 13.6 % Combined ratio 99.6 % 90.3 % 28.0 % 77.8 % 103.4 % 80.4 % Goodwill and intangible assets $ 157,440 $ — $ 475,920 $ 633,360 $ 7,650 $ 641,010 (1) Certain amounts included in the gross premiums written of each segment are related to intersegment transactions.

Development on Prior Year Loss Reserves 2019 Second Quarter During the 2019 second quarter , the Company recorded net favorable development on prior year loss reserves of $38.2 million , which consisted of $2.6 million of favorable development from the insurance segment, $12.7 million from the reinsurance segment, $22.8 million from the mortgage segment and $0.1 million from the ‘other’ segment. The insurance segment’s net favorable development of $2.6 million , or 0.4 loss ratio points, for the 2019 second quarter consisted of $8.0 million of net favorable development in short-tailed lines, $10.4 million of net adverse development in medium-tailed lines and $4.9 million of net favorable development in long-tailed lines. Net favorable development in short-tailed lines primarily resulted from property (including special risk other than marine) reserves across all accident years ( i.e. , the year in which a loss occurred). Net adverse development in medium-tailed lines primarily resulted from $15.5 million of adverse development on program business. Such amounts were partially offset by $5.1 million of net favorable development in other medium-tailed lines, including surety business and professional liability, across most accident years. Net favorable development in long-tailed lines primarily resulted from reductions in executive assurance reserves of $5.1 million , primarily from the 2008 to 2014 accident years. The reinsurance segment’s net favorable development of $12.7 million , or 3.5 loss ratio points, for the 2019 second quarter consisted of $1.8 million of net favorable development from short-tailed lines and $10.9 million of net favorable development from long-tailed and medium-tailed lines. Net favorable development in short-tailed lines primarily resulted from other specialty lines across most underwriting years ( i.e. , all premiums and losses attributable to contracts having an inception or renewal date within the given twelve-month period) and in property other than property catastrophe reserves from earlier underwriting years, partially offset by a small amount of adverse development from property catastrophe and property other than property catastrophe reserves in the 2015 and 2018 underwriting years. Favorable development in long-tailed and medium-tailed lines reflected reductions in casualty and marine reserves from most underwriting years. The mortgage segment’s net favorable development was $22.8 million , or 6.5 loss ratio points, for the 2019 second quarter . The 2019 second quarter development was primarily driven by continued favorable claim rates on first lien business and subrogation recoveries on second lien business. 2018 Second Quarter During the 2018 second quarter , the Company recorded net favorable development on prior year loss reserves of $64.6 million , which consisted of $6.1 million from the insurance segment, $33.0 million from the reinsurance segment, $23.3 million from the mortgage segment and adverse development of $2.2 million from the ‘other’ segment. The insurance segment’s net favorable development of $6.1 million , or 1.1 loss ratio points, for the 2018 second quarter consisted of $13.9 million of net favorable development in short-tailed lines and $14.3 million of net favorable development in long-tailed lines, partially offset by $22.1 million of net adverse development in medium-tailed lines. Net favorable development in short-tailed lines primarily resulted from property (including special risk other than marine) reserves from the 2010 to 2017 accident years while net favorable development in long-tailed lines primarily resulted from reductions in executive assurance reserves of $6.9 million , primarily from the 2007 to 2011 accident years, and in healthcare reserves of $4.9 million , primarily from the 2003 accident year. Net adverse development in medium-tailed lines reflected $11.6 million of adverse development in program business, primarily driven by a few inactive programs that were non-renewed in 2015 and early in 2016 and $18.0 million of adverse development on contract binding business, primarily from the 2014 to 2016 accident years. Such amounts were partially offset by $7.6 million of net favorable development in other medium-tailed lines, including professional liability and surety business, across most accident years. The reinsurance segment’s net favorable development of $33.0 million , or 9.7 loss ratio points, for the 2018 second quarter consisted of $22.2 million from short-tailed lines and $10.8 million from long-tailed and medium-tailed lines. Favorable development in short-tailed lines included $19.3 million from property catastrophe and property other than property catastrophe reserves, across most underwriting years, reflecting lower levels of reported and paid claims activity than previously anticipated which led to decreases in certain loss ratio selections during the period. Favorable development in long-tailed and medium-tailed lines reflected reductions in marine reserves of $3.8 million , across most accident years, and in casualty reserves of $6.9 million based on varying levels of reported and paid claims activity, primarily from the 2003 to 2010 underwriting years. The mortgage segment’s net favorable development was $23.3 million , or 8.0 loss ratio points, for the 2018 second quarter . The 2018 second quarter development was primarily driven by continued lower than expected claim rates on first lien business and subrogation recoveries on second lien business. Six Months Ended June 30, 2019 During the six months ended June 30, 2019 , the Company recorded net favorable development on prior year loss reserves of $77.6 million , which consisted of $7.0 million from the insurance segment, $11.0 million from the reinsurance segment, $59.4 million from the mortgage segment and $0.1 million from the ‘other’ segment. The insurance segment’s net favorable development of $7.0 million , or 0.6 loss ratio points, for the 2019 period consisted of $17.7 million of net favorable development in short-tailed lines and $6.6 million of net favorable development in long-tailed lines, partially offset by $17.3 million of net adverse development in medium-tailed lines. Net favorable development in short-tailed lines primarily resulted from property (including special risk other than marine) reserves from the 2010 to 2018 accident years. Net favorable development in long-tailed lines reflected net reductions in executive assurance reserves of $5.7 million , primarily from the 2013 and 2015 accident years. Net adverse development in medium-tailed lines reflected $23.2 million of adverse development in program business, primarily from the 2018 accident year, and $9.7 million of adverse development on contract binding business, across most accident years. Such amounts were partially offset by $15.6 million of net favorable development in other medium-tailed lines, including professional liability, marine and surety business, across most accident years. The reinsurance segment’s net favorable development of $11.0 million , or 1.5 loss ratio points, for the 2019 period consisted of $4.3 million of net adverse development from short-tailed lines, offset by $15.3 million of net favorable development from long-tailed and medium-tailed lines. Net adverse development in short-tailed lines reflected $17.9 million from property catastrophe and property other than property catastrophe reserves, reflecting an increase in reserves on Typhoon Jebi in the 2019 first quarter of $16.0 million following receipt of updated information from cedents and additional updated industry data. Such amounts were partially offset by $10.2 million of favorable development on other specialty lines, primarily from the 2016 to 2018 underwriting years. Favorable development in long-tailed and medium-tailed lines reflected reductions in casualty reserves of $9.1 million based on varying levels of reported and paid claims activity, primarily from the 2002 to 2007 underwriting years, and favorable development in marine reserves of $6.2 million , primarily from the 2015 to 2018 underwriting years. The mortgage segment’s net favorable development was $59.4 million , or 8.8 loss ratio points, for the 2019 period. The 2019 development was primarily driven by continued lower than expected claim rates on first lien business and subrogation recoveries on second lien business. Six Months Ended June 30, 2018 During the six months ended June 30, 2018 , the Company recorded net favorable development on prior year loss reserves of $115.6 million , which consisted of $8.2 million from the insurance segment, $69.6 million from the reinsurance segment, $36.3 million from the mortgage segment and $1.6 million from the ‘other’ segment. The insurance segment’s net favorable development of $8.2 million , or 0.8 loss ratio points, for the 2018 period consisted of $22.7 million of net favorable development in short-tailed lines and $17.2 million of net favorable development in long-tailed lines, partially offset by $31.7 million of net adverse development in medium-tailed lines. Net favorable development in short-tailed lines primarily resulted from property (including special risk other than marine) reserves from the 2010 and 2017 accident years. Net favorable development in long-tailed lines reflected net reductions in executive assurance reserves of $7.5 million , primarily from the 2008 to 2015 accident years, and in healthcare reserves of $7.0 million , primarily from the 2003 accident year. Net adverse development in medium-tailed lines reflected $21.9 million of adverse development in program business, primarily driven by a few inactive programs that were non-renewed in 2015 and early in 2016 and $25.6 million of adverse development on contract binding business, primarily from the 2014 to 2016 accident years. Such amounts were partially offset by $15.8 million of net favorable development in other medium-tailed lines, including professional liability and surety business, across most accident years. The reinsurance segment’s net favorable development of $69.6 million , or 11.2 loss ratio points, for the 2018 period consisted of $51.1 million from short-tailed lines and $18.5 million from long-tailed and medium-tailed lines. Favorable development in short-tailed lines included $40.4 million from property catastrophe and property other than property catastrophe reserves, across most underwriting years, reflecting lower levels of reported and paid claims activity than previously anticipated which led to decreases in certain loss ratio selections during the period. Favorable development in long-tailed and medium-tailed lines reflected reductions in casualty reserves of $8.1 million based on varying levels of reported and paid claims activity, primarily from the 2002 to 2010 underwriting years, and favorable development in marine reserves of $10.0 million across most underwriting years. The mortgage segment’s net favorable development was $36.3 million , or 6.4 loss ratio points, for the 2018 period. The 2018 development was primarily driven by continued lower than expected claim rates on first lien business and subrogation recoveries on second lien business. |

For purposes of this table, the Company has excluded the collateral received under securities lending, at fair value and included the securities pledged under securities lending, at fair value. See “—Securities Lending Agreements.” At June 30, 2019 , on a lot level basis, approximately 1,690 security lots out of a total of approximately 8,730 security lots were in an unrealized loss position and the largest single unrealized loss from a single lot in the Company’s fixed maturity portfolio was $3.1 million . At December 31, 2018 , on a lot level basis, approximately 5,870 security lots out of a total of approximately 8,450 security lots were in an unrealized loss position and the largest single unrealized loss from a single lot in the Company’s fixed maturity portfolio was $2.6 million . The contractual maturities of the Company’s fixed maturities are shown in the following table. Expected maturities, which are management’s best estimates, will differ from contractual maturities because borrowers may have the right to call or prepay obligations with or without call or prepayment penalties.

For purposes of this table, the Company has excluded the collateral received under securities lending, at fair value and included the securities pledged under securities lending, at fair value. See “—Securities Lending Agreements.” Securities Lending Agreements The Company enters into securities lending agreements with financial institutions to enhance investment income whereby it loans certain of its securities to third parties, primarily major brokerage firms, for short periods of time through a lending agent. The Company maintains legal control over the securities it lends, retains the earnings and cash flows associated with the loaned securities and receives a fee from the borrower for the temporary use of the securities. An indemnification agreement with the lending agent protects the Company in the event a borrower becomes insolvent or fails to return any of the securities on loan from the Company. The Company receives collateral in the form of cash or securities. Cash collateral primarily consists of short term investments. At June 30, 2019 , the fair value of the cash collateral received on securities lending was $11.4 million and the fair value of security collateral received was $438.9 million . At December 31, 2018 , the fair value of the cash collateral received on securities lending was $19.0 million , and the fair value of security collateral received was $255.1 million . The Company’s securities lending transactions were accounted for as secured borrowings with significant investment categories as follows: Remaining Contractual Maturity of the Agreements Overnight and Continuous Less than 30 Days 30-90 Days 90 Days or More Total June 30, 2019 U.S. government and government agencies $ 216,856 $ — $ 217,722 $ — $ 434,578 Corporate bonds 2,356 — — — 2,356 Equity securities 13,378 — — — 13,378 Total $ 232,590 $ — $ 217,722 $ — $ 450,312 Gross amount of recognized liabilities for securities lending in offsetting disclosure in note 8 $ — Amounts related to securities lending not included in offsetting disclosure in note 8 $ 450,312 December 31, 2018 U.S. government and government agencies $ 219,276 $ — $ 32,583 $ — $ 251,859 Corporate bonds 7,129 — — — 7,129 Equity securities 15,137 — — — 15,137 Total $ 241,542 $ — $ 32,583 $ — $ 274,125 Gross amount of recognized liabilities for securities lending in offsetting disclosure in note 8 $ — Amounts related to securities lending not included in offsetting disclosure in note 8 $ 274,125 Equity Securities, at Fair Value At June 30, 2019 , the Company held $670.9 million of equity securities, at fair value, compared to $338.9 million at December 31, 2018 . Such holdings include publicly traded common stocks in the natural resources, energy, consumer staples and other sectors and exchange-traded funds. Other Investments The following table summarizes the Company’s other investments which are included in investments accounted for using the fair value option, by strategy: June 30, December 31, Term loan investments (par value: $1,427,330 and $1,369,216) $ 1,341,445 $ 1,282,287 Lending 585,954 524,112 Credit related funds 166,673 202,123 Energy 123,547 117,509 Investment grade fixed income 86,808 101,902 Infrastructure 49,260 45,371 Private equity 23,925 24,383 Real estate 16,906 14,252 Total $ 2,394,518 $ 2,311,939 Investments Accounted For Using the Equity Method The following table summarizes the Company’s investments accounted for using the equity method, by strategy: June 30, December 31, Credit related funds $ 436,118 $ 429,402 Equities 324,525 375,273 Real estate 251,891 232,647 Lending 193,397 125,041 Private equity 131,863 114,019 Infrastructure 141,744 113,748 Energy 102,434 103,661 Total $ 1,581,972 $ 1,493,791 Certain of the Company’s other investments are in investment funds for which the Company has the option to redeem at agreed upon values as described in each investment fund’s subscription agreement. Depending on the terms of the various subscription agreements, investments in investment funds may be redeemed daily, monthly, quarterly or on other terms. Two common redemption restrictions which may impact the Company’s ability to redeem these investment funds are gates and lockups. A gate is a suspension of redemptions which may be implemented by the general partner or investment manager of the fund in order to defer, in whole or in part, the redemption request in the event the aggregate amount of redemption requests exceeds a predetermined percentage of the investment fund’s net assets which may otherwise hinder the general partner or investment manager’s ability to liquidate holdings in an orderly fashion in order to generate the cash necessary to fund extraordinarily large redemption payouts. A lockup period is the initial amount of time an investor is contractually required to hold the security before having the ability to redeem. If the investment funds are eligible to be redeemed, the time to redeem such fund can take weeks or months following the notification. Fair Value Option The following table summarizes the Company’s assets which are accounted for using the fair value option: June 30, December 31, Fixed maturities $ 965,161 $ 1,245,562 Other investments 2,394,518 2,311,939 Short-term investments 257,465 322,177 Equity securities 103,891 103,893 Investments accounted for using the fair value option $ 3,721,035 $ 3,983,571 Limited Partnership Interests In the normal course of its activities, the Company invests in limited partnerships as part of its overall investment strategy. Such amounts are included in ‘investments accounted for using the equity method’ and ‘investments accounted for using the fair value option.’ The Company has determined that it is not required to consolidate these investments because it is not the primary beneficiary of the funds. The Company’s maximum exposure to loss with respect to these investments is limited to the investment carrying amounts reported in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet and any unfunded commitment. The following table summarizes investments in limited partnership interests where the Company has a variable interest by balance sheet line item: June 30, December 31, Investments accounted for using the equity method (1) 1,581,972 1,493,791 Investments accounted for using the fair value option (2) 178,977 162,398 Total $ 1,760,949 $ 1,656,189 (1) Aggregate unfunded commitments were $1.41 billion at June 30, 2019 , compared to $1.22 billion at December 31, 2018 . (2) Aggregate unfunded commitments were $63.6 million at June 30, 2019 , compared to $117.5 million at December 31, 2018 . Net Investment Income The components of net investment income were derived from the following sources: June 30, 2019 2018 Three Months Ended Fixed maturities $ 125,018 $ 115,110 Term loans 24,730 20,763 Equity securities 4,368 4,777 Short-term investments 3,859 4,392 Other (1) 18,523 17,405 Gross investment income 176,498 162,447 Investment expenses (21,460 ) (26,779 ) Net investment income $ 155,038 $ 135,668 Six Months Ended Fixed maturities $ 254,817 $ 222,997 Term loans 49,346 40,527 Equity securities 7,356 7,345 Short-term investments 8,038 9,252 Other (1) 39,719 35,015 Gross investment income 359,276 315,136 Investment expenses (47,289 ) (52,744 ) Net investment income $ 311,987 $ 262,392 (1) Includes income distributions from investment funds and other items. Net Realized Gains (Losses) Net realized gains (losses) were as follows, excluding net impairment losses recognized in earnings: June 30, 2019 2018 Three Months Ended Available for sale securities: Gross gains on investment sales $ 75,090 $ 18,777 Gross losses on investment sales (15,281 ) (57,711 ) Change in fair value of assets and liabilities accounted for using the fair value option: Fixed maturities 11,429 (22,927 ) Other investments (33,780 ) (254 ) Equity securities 6,414 1,230 Short-term investments (1,392 ) (136 ) Equity securities, at fair value: Net realized gains (losses) on sales during the period (6,644 ) (5,918 ) Net unrealized gains (losses) on equity securities still held at reporting date 22,632 (7,278 ) Derivative instruments (1) 63,966 (2,146 ) Other (2) (1,628 ) (248 ) Net realized gains (losses) $ 120,806 $ (76,611 ) Six Months Ended Available for sale securities: Gross gains on investment sales $ 118,455 $ 33,742 Gross losses on investment sales (46,937 ) (140,262 ) Change in fair value of assets and liabilities accounted for using the fair value option: Fixed maturities 42,577 (40,478 ) Other investments (15,585 ) (6,628 ) Equity securities 10,680 7,898 Short-term investments (672 ) (287 ) Equity securities, at fair value: Net realized gains (losses) on sales during the period 4,286 (11,286 ) Net unrealized gains (losses) on equity securities still held at reporting date 59,768 (14,861 ) Derivative instruments (1) 99,837 (6,109 ) Other (2) (10,038 ) (9,338 ) Net realized gains (losses) $ 262,371 $ (187,609 ) (1) See note 8 for information on the Company’s derivative instruments. (2) Includes the re-measurement of contingent consideration liability amounts. Equity in Net Income (Loss) of Investment Funds Accounted for Using the Equity Method The Company recorded $32.5 million of equity in net income related to investment funds accounted for using the equity method in the 2019 second quarter , compared to $8.5 million for the 2018 second quarter , and $79.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 , compared to $36.5 million for the 2018 period. In applying the equity method, investments are initially recorded at cost and are subsequently adjusted based on the Company’s proportionate share of the net income or loss of the funds (which include changes in the market value of the underlying securities in the funds). Such investments are generally recorded on a one to three month lag based on the availability of reports from the investment funds. Net Impairment Losses Recognized in Earnings The Company performs quarterly reviews of its available for sale investments in order to determine whether declines in fair value below the amortized cost basis were considered other-than-temporary in accordance with applicable guidance. The following table details the net impairment losses recognized in earnings by asset class: June 30, 2019 2018 Three Months Ended Fixed maturities: Mortgage backed securities $ (24 ) $ (81 ) Corporate bonds (25 ) (241 ) Asset backed securities — (148 ) Total (49 ) (470 ) Net impairment losses recognized in earnings $ (49 ) $ (470 ) Six Months Ended Fixed maturities: Mortgage backed securities $ (555 ) $ (123 ) Corporate bonds (590 ) (361 ) Asset backed securities (213 ) (148 ) Total (1,358 ) (632 ) Net impairment losses recognized in earnings $ (1,358 ) $ (632 ) Net impairment losses recognized in earnings in the 2019 periods were primarily related to foreign currency fluctuations and other impairments on corporate bonds and other securities. The Company believes that the minimal amount of OTTI included in accumulated other comprehensive income at June 30, 2019 on the securities which were considered by the Company to be impaired was due to market and sector-related factors ( i.e. , not credit losses). At June 30, 2019 , the Company did not intend to sell these securities, or any other securities which were in an unrealized loss position, and determined that it is more likely than not that the Company will not be required to sell such securities before recovery of their cost basis. The following table provides a roll forward of the amount related to credit losses recognized in earnings for which a portion of an OTTI was recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income: June 30, 2019 2018 Three Months Ended Balance at start of period $ 346 $ 767 Credit loss impairments recognized on securities not previously impaired — — Credit loss impairments recognized on securities previously impaired — — Reductions for increases in cash flows expected to be collected that are recognized over the remaining life of the security — — Reductions for securities sold during the period — (69 ) Balance at end of period $ 346 $ 698 Six Months Ended Balance at start of year $ 637 $ 767 Credit loss impairments recognized on securities not previously impaired — — Credit loss impairments recognized on securities previously impaired — — Reductions for increases in cash flows expected to be collected that are recognized over the remaining life of the security — — Reductions for securities sold during the period (291 ) (69 ) Balance at end of period $ 346 $ 698 Restricted Assets The Company is required to maintain assets on deposit, which primarily consist of fixed maturities, with various regulatory authorities to support its underwriting operations. The Company’s subsidiaries maintain assets in trust accounts as collateral for transactions with affiliated companies and also have investments in segregated portfolios primarily to provide collateral or guarantees for letters of credit to third parties. See note 16, “Commitments and Contingencies,” of the notes to consolidated financial statements in the Company’s 2018 Form 10-K. The following table details the value of the Company’s restricted assets: June 30, December 31, Assets used for collateral or guarantees: Affiliated transactions $ 4,758,653 $ 4,623,483 Third party agreements 2,612,380 2,181,682 Deposits with U.S. regulatory authorities 788,750 689,114 Deposits with non-U.S. regulatory authorities 62,449 59,624 Total restricted assets $ 8,222,232 $ 7,553,903 In addition, Watford Re maintains a secured credit facility to provide borrowing capacity for investment purposes and a total return swap agreement and maintains assets pledged as collateral for such purposes. The Company does not guarantee or provide credit support for Watford Re, and the Company’s financial exposure to Watford Re is limited to its investment in Watford Re’s senior notes, common and preferred shares and counterparty credit risk (mitigated by collateral) arising from reinsurance transactions. As of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 Watford Re held $1.1 billion and $1.3 billion , respectively, in pledged assets to collateralize Watford Re’s credit facility mentioned above. Reconciliation of Cash and Restricted Cash The following table details reconciliation of cash and restricted cash within the Consolidated Balance Sheets: June 30, December 31, Cash $ 605,316 $ 646,556 Restricted cash (included in ‘other assets’) $ 77,759 $ 78,087 Cash and restricted cash $ 683,075 $ 724,643 |

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract] | |
Fair Value | Fair Value Accounting guidance regarding fair value measurements addresses how companies should measure fair value when they are required to use a fair value measure for recognition or disclosure purposes under GAAP and provides a common definition of fair value to be used throughout GAAP. It defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly fashion between market participants at the measurement date. In addition, it establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy for the disclosure of fair value measurements. The valuation hierarchy is based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability as of the measurement date. The level in the hierarchy within which a given fair value measurement falls is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the measurement (Level 1 being the highest priority and Level 3 being the lowest priority). The levels in the hierarchy are defined as follows: Level 1: Inputs to the valuation methodology are observable inputs that reflect quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets Level 2: Inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument Level 3: Inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement Following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for securities measured at fair value, as well as the general classification of such securities pursuant to the valuation hierarchy. The Company reviews its securities measured at fair value and discusses the proper classification of such investments with investment advisers and others. The Company determines the existence of an active market based on its judgment as to whether transactions for the financial instrument occur in such market with sufficient frequency and volume to provide reliable pricing information. The independent pricing sources obtain market quotations and actual transaction prices for securities that have quoted prices in active markets. The Company uses quoted values and other data provided by nationally recognized independent pricing sources as inputs into its process for determining fair values of its fixed maturity investments. To validate the techniques or models used by pricing sources, the Company's review process includes, but is not limited to: (i) quantitative analysis ( e.g., comparing the quarterly return for each managed portfolio to its target benchmark, with significant differences identified and investigated); (ii) a review of the average number of prices obtained in the pricing process and the range of resulting fair values; (iii) initial and ongoing evaluation of methodologies used by outside parties to calculate fair value; (iv) a comparison of the fair value estimates to the Company’s knowledge of the current market; (v) a comparison of the pricing services' fair values to other pricing services' fair values for the same investments; and (vi) periodic back-testing, which includes randomly selecting purchased or sold securities and comparing the executed prices to the fair value estimates from the pricing service. A price source hierarchy was maintained in order to determine which price source would be used (i.e. , a price obtained from a pricing service with more seniority in the hierarchy will be used over a less senior one in all cases). The hierarchy prioritizes pricing services based on availability and reliability and assigns the highest priority to index providers. Based on the above review, the Company will challenge any prices for a security or portfolio which are considered not to be representative of fair value. The Company did not adjust any of the prices obtained from the independent pricing sources at June 30, 2019 . In certain circumstances, when fair values are unavailable from these independent pricing sources, quotes are obtained directly from broker-dealers who are active in the corresponding markets. Such quotes are subject to the validation procedures noted above. Of the $21.66 billion of financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value at June 30, 2019 , approximately $183.8 million , or 0.9% , were priced using non-binding broker-dealer quotes. Of the $20.41 billion of financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value at December 31, 2018 , approximately $217.9 million , or 1.1% , were priced using non-binding broker-dealer quotes. Fixed maturities The Company uses the market approach valuation technique to estimate the fair value of its fixed maturity securities, when possible. The market approach includes obtaining prices from independent pricing services, such as index providers and pricing vendors, as well as to a lesser extent quotes from broker-dealers. The independent pricing sources obtain market quotations and actual transaction prices for securities that have quoted prices in active markets. Each source has its own proprietary method for determining the fair value of securities that are not actively traded. In general, these methods involve the use of “matrix pricing” in which the independent pricing source uses observable market inputs including, but not limited to, investment yields, credit risks and spreads, benchmarking of like securities, broker-dealer quotes, reported trades and sector groupings to determine a reasonable fair value. The following describes the significant inputs generally used to determine the fair value of the Company’s fixed maturity securities by asset class: • U.S. government and government agencies — valuations provided by independent pricing services, with all prices provided through index providers and pricing vendors. The Company determined that all U.S. Treasuries would be classified as Level 1 securities due to observed levels of trading activity, the high number of strongly correlated pricing quotes received on U.S. Treasuries and other factors. The fair values of U.S. government agency securities are generally determined using the spread above the risk-free yield curve. As the yields for the risk-free yield curve and the spreads for these securities are observable market inputs, the fair values of U.S. government agency securities are classified within Level 2. • Corporate bonds — valuations provided by independent pricing services, substantially all through index providers and pricing vendors with a small amount through broker-dealers. The fair values of these securities are generally determined using the spread above the risk-free yield curve. These spreads are generally obtained from the new issue market, secondary trading and from broker-dealers who trade in the relevant security market. As the significant inputs used in the pricing process for corporate bonds are observable market inputs, the fair value of these securities are classified within Level 2. A small number of securities are included in Level 3 due to a low level of transparency on the inputs used in the pricing process. During the 2019 second quarter, the Company transferred $23.9 million of corporate bonds from Level 2 to Level 3 based on a review of the pricing of such securities, as described above. • Mortgage-backed securities — valuations provided by independent pricing services, substantially all through pricing vendors and index providers with a small amount through broker-dealers. The fair values of these securities are generally determined through the use of pricing models (including Option Adjusted Spread) which use spreads to determine the expected average life of the securities. These spreads are generally obtained from the new issue market, secondary trading and from broker-dealers who trade in the relevant security market. The pricing services also review prepayment speeds and other indicators, when applicable. As the significant inputs used in the pricing process for mortgage-backed securities are observable market inputs, the fair value of these securities are classified within Level 2. A small number of securities are included in Level 3 due to a low level of transparency on the inputs used in the pricing process. • Municipal bonds — valuations provided by independent pricing services, with all prices provided through index providers and pricing vendors. The fair values of these securities are generally determined using spreads obtained from broker-dealers who trade in the relevant security market, trade prices and the new issue market. As the significant inputs used in the pricing process for municipal bonds are observable market inputs, the fair value of these securities are classified within Level 2. • Commercial mortgage-backed securities — valuations provided by independent pricing services, substantially all through index providers and pricing vendors with a small amount through broker-dealers. The fair values of these securities are generally determined through the use of pricing models which use spreads to determine the appropriate average life of the securities. These spreads are generally obtained from the new issue market, secondary trading and from broker-dealers who trade in the relevant security market. The pricing services also review prepayment speeds and other indicators, when applicable. As the significant inputs used in the pricing process for commercial mortgage-backed securities are observable market inputs, the fair value of these securities are classified within Level 2. • Non-U.S. government securities — valuations provided by independent pricing services, with all prices provided through index providers and pricing vendors. The fair values of these securities are generally based on international indices or valuation models which include daily observed yield curves, cross-currency basis index spreads and country credit spreads. As the significant inputs used in the pricing process for non-U.S. government securities are observable market inputs, the fair value of these securities are classified within Level 2. • Asset-backed securities — valuations provided by independent pricing services, substantially all through index providers and pricing vendors with a small amount through broker-dealers. The fair values of these securities are generally determined through the use of pricing models (including Option Adjusted Spread) which use spreads to determine the appropriate average life of the securities. These spreads are generally obtained from the new issue market, secondary trading and from broker-dealers who trade in the relevant security market. The pricing services also review prepayment speeds and other indicators, when applicable. As the significant inputs used in the pricing process for asset-backed securities are observable market inputs, the fair value of these securities are classified within Level 2. Equity securities The Company determined that exchange-traded equity securities would be included in Level 1 as their fair values are based on quoted market prices in active markets. Other equity securities are included in Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy. A small number of securities are included in Level 3 due to the lack of an available independent price source for such securities. As the significant inputs used to price these securities are unobservable, the fair value of such securities are classified as Level 3. During the 2019 second quarter, the Company transferred $107.4 million of equity securities from Level 2 to Level 3 based on a review of the pricing of such securities, as described above. Other investments The Company determined that exchange-traded investments in mutual funds would be included in Level 1 as their fair values are based on quoted market prices in active markets. Other investments also include term loan investments for which fair values are estimated by using quoted prices of term loan investments with similar characteristics, pricing models or matrix pricing. Such investments are generally classified within Level 2. The fair values for certain of the Company’s other investments are determined using net asset values as advised by external fund managers. The net asset value is based on the fund manager’s valuation of the underlying holdings in accordance with the fund’s governing documents. In accordance with applicable accounting guidance, certain investments that are measured at fair value using the net asset value per share (or its equivalent) practical expedient have not been classified in the fair value hierarchy. A small number of securities are included in Level 3 due to the lack of an available independent price source for such securities. During the 2019 second quarter, the Company transferred $44.6 million of other investments from Level 2 to Level 3 based on a review of the pricing of such securities, as described above. Derivative instruments The Company’s futures contracts, foreign currency forward contracts, interest rate swaps and other derivatives trade in the over-the-counter derivative market. The Company uses the market approach valuation technique to estimate the fair value for these derivatives based on significant observable market inputs from third party pricing vendors, non-binding broker-dealer quotes and/or recent trading activity. As the significant inputs used in the pricing process for these derivative instruments are observable market inputs, the fair value of these securities are classified within Level 2. Short-term investments The Company determined that certain of its short-term investments held in highly liquid money market-type funds, Treasury bills and commercial paper would be included in Level 1 as their fair values are based on quoted market prices in active markets. The fair values of other short-term investments are generally determined using the spread above the risk-free yield curve and are classified within Level 2. Contingent consideration liabilities Contingent consideration liabilities (included in ‘other liabilities’ in the consolidated balance sheets) include amounts related to the acquisition of CMG Mortgage Insurance Company and its affiliated mortgage insurance companies and other acquisitions. Such amounts are remeasured at fair value at each balance sheet date with changes in fair value recognized in ‘net realized gains (losses).’ To determine the fair value of contingent consideration liabilities, the Company estimates future payments using an income approach based on modeled inputs which include a weighted average cost of capital. The Company determined that contingent consideration liabilities would be included within Level 3.

Financial Instruments Disclosed, But Not Carried, At Fair Value The Company uses various financial instruments in the normal course of its business. The carrying values of cash, accrued investment income, receivable for securities sold, certain other assets, payable for securities purchased and certain other liabilities approximated their fair values at June 30, 2019 , due to their respective short maturities. As these financial instruments are not actively traded, their respective fair values are classified within Level 2. At June 30, 2019 , the Company’s senior notes were carried at their cost, net of debt issuance costs, of $1.73 billion and had a fair value of $2.09 billion . At December 31, 2018 , Company’s senior notes were carried at their cost, net of debt issuance costs, of $1.73 billion and had a fair value of $1.88 billion . The fair values of the senior notes were obtained from a third party pricing service and are based on observable market inputs. As such, the fair values of the senior notes are classified within Level 2. |

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Derivative Instruments | Derivative Instruments The Company’s investment strategy allows for the use of derivative instruments. The Company’s derivative instruments are recorded on its consolidated balance sheets at fair value. The Company utilizes exchange traded U.S. Treasury note, Eurodollar and other futures contracts and commodity futures to manage portfolio duration or replicate investment positions in its portfolios and the Company routinely utilizes foreign currency forward contracts, currency options, index futures contracts and other derivatives as part of its total return objective. In addition, certain of the Company’s investments are managed in portfolios which incorporate the use of foreign currency forward contracts which are intended to provide an economic hedge against foreign currency movements. In addition, the Company purchases to-be-announced mortgage backed securities (“TBAs”) as part of its investment strategy. TBAs represent commitments to purchase a future issuance of agency mortgage backed securities. For the period between purchase of a TBA and issuance of the underlying security, the Company’s position is accounted for as a derivative. The Company purchases TBAs in both long and short positions to enhance investment performance and as part of its overall investment strategy. The following table summarizes information on the fair values and notional values of the Company’s derivative instruments: Estimated Fair Value Asset Derivatives Liability Derivatives Notional Value (1) June 30, 2019 Futures contracts (2) $ 5,438 $ (1,586 ) $ 4,354,852 Foreign currency forward contracts (2) 3,190 (10,352 ) 939,940 TBAs (3) 15,509 — 14,846 Other (2) 22,025 (26,425 ) 3,493,526 Total $ 46,162 $ (38,363 ) December 31, 2018 Futures contracts (2) $ 51,800 $ (2,115 ) $ 3,153,518 Foreign currency forward contracts (2) 8,147 (7,796 ) 1,008,907 TBAs (3) 8,292 — 8,132 Other (2) 13,946 (10,753 ) 2,213,981 Total $ 82,185 $ (20,664 ) (1) Represents the absolute notional value of all outstanding contracts, consisting of long and short positions. (2) The fair value of asset derivatives are included in ‘other assets’ and the fair value of liability derivatives are included in ‘other liabilities.’ (3) The fair value of TBAs are included in ‘fixed maturities available for sale, at fair value.’ The Company did not hold any derivatives which were designated as hedging instruments at June 30, 2019 or December 31, 2018 . The Company’s derivative instruments can be traded under master netting agreements, which establish terms that apply to all derivative transactions with a counterparty. In the event of a bankruptcy or other stipulated event of default, such agreements provide that the non-defaulting party may elect to terminate all outstanding derivative transactions, in which case all individual derivative positions (loss or gain) with a counterparty are closed out and netted and replaced with a single amount, usually referred to as the termination amount, which is expressed in a single currency. The resulting single net amount, where positive, is payable to the party “in-the-money” regardless of whether or not it is the defaulting party, unless the parties have agreed that only the non-defaulting party is entitled to receive a termination payment where the net amount is positive and is in its favor. Contractual close-out netting reduces derivatives credit exposure from gross to net exposure. The remaining derivatives included in the table above were not subject to a master netting agreement. At June 30, 2019 , asset derivatives and liability derivatives of $46.2 million and $38.4 million , respectively, were subject to a master netting agreement, compared to $80.4 million and $18.9 million , respectively, at December 31, 2018 . The remaining derivatives included in the preceding table were not subject to a master netting agreement. Realized and unrealized contract gains and losses on the Company’s derivative instruments are reflected in ‘net realized gains (losses)’ in the consolidated statements of income, as summarized in the following table: Derivatives not designated as June 30, hedging instruments: 2019 2018 Three Months Ended Net realized gains (losses): Futures contracts $ 66,973 $ (240 ) Foreign currency forward contracts (5,365 ) (1,692 ) TBAs 48 — Other 2,310 (214 ) Total $ 63,966 $ (2,146 ) Six Months Ended Net realized gains (losses): Futures contracts $ 94,309 $ 4,790 Foreign currency forward contracts (19,074 ) (7,616 ) TBAs 238 (97 ) Other 24,364 (3,186 ) Total $ 99,837 $ (6,109 ) |

Leases [Abstract] | |
Leases | Leases In the ordinary course of business, the Company renews and enters into new leases for office property and equipment. At the lease inception date, the Company determines whether a contract contains a lease and its classification as a finance or operating lease. Primarily all of the Company’s leases are classified as operating leases. The Company’s operating leases have remaining lease terms of up to 12 years , some of which include options to extend the lease term. The Company considers these options when determining the lease term and measuring its lease liability and right-of-use asset. In addition, the Company’s lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants. Short-term operating leases with an initial term of twelve months or less were excluded on the Company's consolidated balance sheet and represent an inconsequential amount of operating lease expense. As most leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the lease commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. Additional information regarding the Company’s operating leases is as follows: June 30, 2019 Three Months Ended Operating lease costs $ 7,244 Cash payments included in the measurement of lease liabilities reported in operating cash flows $ 7,685 Right-of-use assets obtained in exchange for new lease liabilities $ 4,420 Right-of-use assets (1) $ 134,061 Operating lease liability (1) $ 150,341 Weighted average discount rate 3.9 % Weighted average remaining lease term 6.5 years Six Months Ended Operating lease costs $ 14,860 Cash payments included in the measurement of lease liabilities reported in operating cash flows $ 14,585 Right-of-use assets obtained in exchange for new lease liabilities $ 4,420 Right-of-use assets (1) $ 134,061 Operating lease liability (1) $ 150,341 Weighted average discount rate 3.9 % Weighted average remaining lease term 6.5 years (1) The right-of-use assets are included in ‘other assets’ while the operating lease liability is included in ‘other liabilities.’ The following table presents the contractual maturities of the Company's operating lease liabilities at June 30, 2019 : Years Ending December 31, 2019 (remainder) $ 9,985 2020 32,036 2021 30,673 2022 27,365 2023 22,667 2024 and thereafter 55,610 Total undiscounted lease liability $ 178,336 Less: present value adjustment (27,995 ) Operating lease liability $ 150,341 At December 31, 2018 , the future minimum rental commitments, exclusive of escalation clauses and maintenance costs and net of rental income, for all of the Company’s operating leases was as follows: 2019 $ 31,088 2020 30,491 2021 29,351 2022 26,068 2023 21,408 2024 and thereafter 54,745 Total $ 193,151 |

Variable Interest Entity and Noncontrolling Interests | Variable Interest Entities and Noncontrolling Interests Watford Holdings Ltd. In March 2014, the Company invested $100.0 million and acquired 2,500,000 common shares, approximately 11% of Watford Holdings Ltd.’s outstanding common equity, and a warrant to purchase up to 975,503 additional common shares. The warrants expire on March 31, 2020. The exercise price of the warrants is determined on the date of exercise based on certain targeted returns for existing common shareholders. Watford Holdings Ltd.’s common shares are listed on the Nasdaq Select Global Market under the ticker symbol “WTRE”. Watford Re is considered a VIE and the Company concluded that it is the primary beneficiary of Watford Re. As such, the results of Watford Re are included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The Company does not guarantee or provide credit support for Watford Re, and the Company’s financial exposure to Watford Re is limited to its investment in Watford Re’s senior notes, common and preferred shares and counterparty credit risk (mitigated by collateral) arising from reinsurance transactions. The following table provides the carrying amount and balance sheet caption in which the assets and liabilities of Watford Re are reported: June 30, December 31, 2019 2018 Assets Investments accounted for using the fair value option $ 1,972,947 $ 2,312,003 Fixed maturities available for sale, at fair value 732,454 393,351 Equity securities, at fair value 64,703 32,206 Cash 68,977 63,529 Accrued investment income 16,916 19,461 Premiums receivable 228,588 227,301 Reinsurance recoverable on unpaid and paid losses and LAE 123,961 86,445 Ceded unearned premiums 79,513 61,587 Deferred acquisition costs 71,557 80,858 Receivable for securities sold 29,425 24,507 Goodwill and intangible assets 7,650 7,650 Other assets 71,837 63,959 Total assets of consolidated VIE $ 3,468,528 $ 3,372,857 Liabilities Reserve for losses and loss adjustment expenses $ 1,126,080 $ 1,032,760 Unearned premiums 375,323 390,114 Reinsurance balances payable 23,312 21,034 Revolving credit agreement borrowings 491,006 455,682 Payable for securities purchased 51,216 60,142 Other liabilities (1) 219,120 302,524 Total liabilities of consolidated VIE $ 2,286,057 $ 2,262,256 Redeemable noncontrolling interests $ 221,175 $ 220,992 (1) Includes certain borrowings related to investing activities.

At the time the Bellemeade Agreements were entered into, the applicability of the accounting guidance that addresses VIEs was evaluated. As a result of the evaluation of the Bellemeade Agreements, the Company concluded that these entities are VIEs. However, given that the ceding insurers do not have the unilateral power to direct those activities that are significant to their economic performance, the Company does not consolidate such entities in its consolidated financial statements. The following table presents the total assets of the Bellemeade entities, as well as the Company’s maximum exposure to loss associated with these VIEs, calculated as the maximum historical observable spread between the one month LIBOR, the basis for the contractual payments to bond holders, and short term invested trust asset yields.

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Income Taxes | Income Taxes The Company’s income tax provision on income before income taxes resulted in an expense of 8.4% for the six months ended June 30, 2019 , compared to an expense of 9.7% for the 2018 period. The Company’s effective tax rate, which is based upon the expected annual effective tax rate, may fluctuate from period to period based on the relative mix of income or loss reported by jurisdiction and the varying tax rates in each jurisdiction. For interim reporting purposes, the Company has calculated its annual effective tax rate for the full year of 2019 by treating excess tax benefits that arise from the accounting for stock based compensation as a discrete item. As such, this amount is not included when projecting the Company’s full year annual effective tax rate but rather is accounted for at the U.S. Federal statutory rate of 21% after applying the projected full year annual effective tax rate to actual six months results before the discrete item. The impact of the discrete item resulted in a benefit of 0.4% for the six months ended June 30, 2019 . The Company had a net deferred tax liability of $49.5 million at June 30, 2019 , compared to a net deferred tax asset of $22.5 million at December 31, 2018 . The change is primarily a result of the appreciation of the Company’s fixed maturities from December 31, 2018 to June 30, 2019. In addition, the Company paid $43.5 million and recovered $46.5 million of income taxes for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 , respectively. |

Subsequent Events [Abstract] | |
Subsequent Events | Subsequent Events Bellemeade Re 2019-3 Ltd. In July 2019, the Company’s first-lien U.S. mortgage insurance subsidiaries entered into an aggregate excess of loss reinsurance agreement with Bellemeade Re 2019-3 Ltd. (“Bellemeade 2019-3”), a special purpose reinsurance company domiciled in Bermuda. The Bellemeade 2019-3 agreement provides for up to $700.9 million of aggregate excess of loss reinsurance coverage at inception in excess of $232.1 million of aggregate losses for new delinquencies on a portfolio of in-force policies issued in 2016. The coverage amount decreases over a ten -year period as the underlying covered mortgages amortize. Bellemeade 2019-3 financed the coverage through the issuance of mortgage insurance-linked notes in an aggregate amount of approximately $700.9 million to unrelated investors (the “Notes”). The maturity date of the Notes is July 25, 2029. The Notes will be redeemed prior to maturity upon the occurrence of a mandatory termination event or if the ceding insurers trigger a termination of the reinsurance agreement following the occurrence of an optional termination event. All of the proceeds paid to Bellemeade 2019-3 from the sale of the Notes were deposited into a reinsurance trust as security for Bellemeade 2019-3’s obligations. At all times, funds in the reinsurance trust account are required to be invested in high credit quality money market funds. Watford Re Capital Transactions On July 2, 2019, Watford Holdings Ltd. completed an offering of $175.0 million in aggregate principal amount of its 6.5% senior notes, due July 2, 2029 (“Watford Senior Notes”). Interest on such notes will be paid semi-annually in arrears on each January 2 and July 2, commencing January 2, 2020. The $172.4 million net proceeds from the offering were used to redeem a portion of Watford Holdings Ltd.’s outstanding preference shares. On August 1, 2019, Watford Holdings Ltd. redeemed 6,919,998 of its 9,065,200 total issued and outstanding Watford Preference Shares. The Watford Preference Shares were redeemed at a total redemption price of $25.19748 per share, inclusive of all declared and unpaid dividends, with accumulation of any undeclared dividends on or after June 30, 2019. The Company purchased $35.0 million in aggregate principal amount of the Watford Senior Notes. In addition, the Company received $11.5 million pursuant to the redemption of Watford Preference Shares. Business Acquisition On July 30, 2019, the Company announced that it has entered into an agreement to purchase Barbican Group Holdings Limited from funds managed by Carlson Capital, a U.S. based alternative asset management firm. The acquisition includes Barbican Managing Agency Limited, Lloyd’s Syndicate 1955, Lloyd’s Syndicate 1856, Lloyd’s Special Purpose Arrangement 6132, Castel Underwriting Agencies Limited and other associated entities. The transaction is subject to regulatory approval and is expected to close in the late third or early fourth quarter of 2019. |

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] | |
Basis of accounting | The interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. |
Use of estimates | 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 at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates and assumptions. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting of normally recurring accruals) necessary for a fair statement of results on an interim basis. The results of any interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results for a full year or any future periods. |
Recent accounting pronouncements | Recently Issued Accounting Standards Adopted The Company adopted ASU 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842)”, which provides a new comprehensive model for lease accounting. Topic 842 requires a lessee to recognize a liability to make lease payments (the lease liability) and a right-of-use asset representing its right to use the underlying asset for the lease term. The Company adopted the modified retrospective approach of this standard, that resulted in the recognition of a right-of-use asset of $147.9 million as part of other assets and a lease liability of $163.6 million as part of other liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet as of January 1, 2019. The Company de-recognized the liability for deferred rent that was required under the previous guidance. In addition, the Company adopted ASU 2018-11, “Leases: Targeted Improvements (Topic 842),” which provides an additional (optional) transition method to adopt the new lease standard. The Company adopted the alternative transition method and elected to utilize a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of the retained earnings for the year of adoption. As such, the Company’s reporting for the comparative periods prior to the adoption continue to be presented in the financial statements in accordance with previous lease accounting guidance. The Company also adopted the practical expedients as a package which allows the Company to not reassess (1) whether any expired or existing contracts are or contain leases (2) the lease classification for any expired or existing leases (3) initial direct costs for any existing leases and (4) to account for the lease and non lease components as a single lease component. In addition to electing the practical expedients as a package, the Company elected to include hindsight to determine the lease term of existing leases, and made an accounting policy election to not apply the recognition requirements to short-term leases (lease term of less than twelve months). The cumulative effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings was zero . The adoption of the updated guidance did not have a material effect on the Company’s results of operations or liquidity. The Company adopted ASU 2018-07 “Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting,” which was issued in June 2018 to simplify the accounting for share-based payments granted to nonemployees for goods and services. Under this ASU, most of the guidance on such payments to nonemployees would be aligned with the requirements for share-based payments granted to employees. The ASU is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018. This guidance and the adoption of this provision did not have a material effect on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows. The Company adopted ASU 2018-02 “Income Statement-Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220) - Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income,” which was issued in February 2018 to allow the reclassification of the stranded tax effects in accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”) resulting from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (“Tax Cuts Act”). Current guidance requires the effect of a change in tax laws or rates on deferred tax balances to be reported in income from continuing operations in the accounting period that includes the period of enactment, even if the related income tax effects were originally charged or credited directly to AOCI. The amount of the reclassification would include the effect of the change in the U.S. federal corporate income tax rate on the gross deferred tax amounts and related valuation allowances, if any, at the date of the enactment of the Tax Cuts Act related to items in AOCI. The updated guidance is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018 and is to be applied retrospectively to each period in which the effect of the Tax Cuts Act related to items remaining in AOCI are recognized or at the beginning of the period of adoption. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material effect on the Company’s results of operations, financial position or liquidity. The Company adopted ASU 2017-08 “Receivables - Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs (Subtopic 310-20), Premium Amortization on Purchased Callable Debt Securities,” which was issued in March, 2017. This ASU shortens the amortization period for certain callable debt securities held at a premium and requires the premium to be amortized to the earliest call date. However, the new guidance does not require an accounting change for securities held at a discount whose discount continues to be amortized to maturity. The standard is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. The adoption of the guidance requires a modified retrospective approach with a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Recently Issued Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted For information regarding additional accounting standards that the Company has not yet adopted, see note 3(q), “Significant Accounting Policies—Recent Accounting Pronouncements,” of the notes to consolidated financial statements in the Company’s 2018 Form 10-K. |
