Swiss Re

Swiss Re offers a wide variety of reinsurance products and financial services solutions to manage capital and risk.

Reinsurance is an indispensable part of the insurance system, providing an important contribution to economic growth and society. Insurers, corporate clients and the public sector benefit from risk transfer and capital relief, as well as from the product development and risk expertise that Swiss Re provides.

Our strength in the reinsurance business is based on two key factors: accumulated expertise and continuing research, as well as a highly diversified portfolio, spread across all lines of reinsurance business and many geographical regions. Within such a portfolio, each new risk reduces the dedicated capital per risk and thus the production cost of reinsurance. Our reinsurance products and services are complemented by our activities in financial services where we leverage our knowledge and experience in capital management to benefit our clients.

Our strategy is focused on sustainable and profitable growth, on the efficient use of capital and on close and mutually rewarding client relationships. This strategy is reflected in the Group’s organisational structure, which features the three core business functions of Client Markets, Products and Asset Management.
