Market position

Hannover Re is active in all markets that have a reliable legal system and freely transferable currency. The following markets are prioritised based on their above-average profit potential:

  • Target markets North America, Germany
  • Structured reinsurance
  • Marine/energy, aviation, credit/surety
  • Facultative business worldwide

Customer relationships

We focus on those clients to whom reinsurance is of medium to long-term strategic importance. We combine the highest level of technical expertise with superb customer relationship management in order to secure profitable business.

Distribution channels

  • Non-proportional business is written through brokers in most markets.
  • For facultative business a local presence is normally necessary; local representative offices and branches are established whenever this enables us to better serve our clients and hence enjoy improved access to business.
  • Treaty business is written centrally on principle (maximum allocation of capacity and efficient deployment of capital)
