underwrote

Assumed the risk

Underwrote is the past tense of underwrite.

To underwrite is to assume financial responsibility for something—especially to guarantee payment on an insurance policy or to fund a venture: The foundation underwrote the cost of the exhibition.

In securities, underwriters purchase an entire issue to resell: Goldman Sachs underwrote the IPO.

The word suggests backing something with money and taking on its risk.
