About us

New Reinsurance Company is a leading underwriter of property and casualty treaty reinsurance in Europe and specialised life reinsurance solutions worldwide.

Formed in Zurich in 1926 and headquartered in Geneva, New Re is part of the Munich Re Group, one of the world’s largest reinsurers, and combines exceptional financial strength (S&P AA-, AM Best A+) with the flexibility and creativity of a mid-size reinsurer.

Europe is our home market, and our clients are facing a rapidly changing environment and increased complexity. Our goal is to respond quickly and flexibly to their needs and work with them to devise new, more appropriate solutions for their risks.

What makes New Re a preferred reinsurer is our openness to discussing complex covers and our pragmatic approach to finding solutions. We view the increasing risks confronting society, be they climate change, terrorism, or simply the need for traffic accident victims to be better compensated, as a challenge and an opportunity to develop our business together with our clients.         

In so doing, we can rely on a highly professional and motivated staff of underwriters, actuaries, accountants and claims specialists, backed by state-of-the-art administration and processing.

We manage risks with the highest standards of underwriting and discipline. Throughout the cycles, our mix of professional underwriting, strong risk management and creativity has been the foundation for our financial strength and success.
