Sustainable growth

through reinsurance

Reinsurers enable their clients to better withstand natural catastrophes and other large losses and they provide coverage for major projects or the development of new technologies. In so doing, they sustainably promote economic growth.

Investment and development - infrastructure

Somewhat different

Our self-image

We are quick, flexible and undogmatic in delivering solutions to our customers - thanks to flat hierarchies and the extensive decision-making powers of our experts.

Extreme weather events

come up against rising insured values

Loss scenarios for windstorm events can be reliably simulated using existing models. We are developing and refining our risk models for flood covers so as to calculate commensurate and affordable prices for this risk as well.

Rethink insurance
