Intense competition, challenging financial markets,  and exacting rating and solvency requirements  are  making active capital and risk management increasingly important for life insurance companies.  

Life insurers work in a dynamic environment where medical progress, demographic trends and changing lifestyles constantly give rise to new risk landscapes. This demanding situation is made even more challenging by  volatile financial markets, low interest rates,  stricter laws and regulations and ever tougher competition. Any company that hopes to meet these challenges must continually develop its business model and steadily optimise its deployment of capital.

NewRe  provides  risk management solutions for life insurers worldwide. We continuously seize business opportunities driven by corporate risk management or corporate finance, especially where management of market risks, credit risks, behavioural risks, complex biometric risks or structuring capabilities are key. We tailor every transaction to  your  specific needs.  And to ensure that the reinsurance solution is practical, we provide appropriate support during the product development phase.

Our activities have grown significantly over the years  to include reinsurance for variable annuities, immediate and contingent financing contracts, traditional and extreme mortality covers, and capital relief transactions. These  structures  are all designed to address  financial market,  mortality and  lapse risks, among others.

As a core subsidiary of the Munich Re Group, NewRe and its Life team in Zurich have access to the Group’s technology and resources, allowing us to develop strong expertise in  structured  reinsurance  solutions  for developed life insurance markets across Europe, Asia and North America.
