Total global reinsurance capital rises by 15% to $605 bn at year-end 2019,underlying returns remain low: Willis Re

James Kent, global CEO, Willis Re, said: “This analysis demonstrates how sensitive the global reinsurance capital base is to investment markets. Thankfully strong capital growth in 2019 allied to judicious investment strategies by many companies has put the industry in a good position to weather the current volatile environment. At the same time, the analysis demonstrates that underlying profitability remains a core focus for reinsurers resulting in rate increases across many lines of business, to support the pricing momentum on loss impacted lines that started in some cases in mid-2018.”

GIC RE improves its Brazilian status from ‘Occasional Reinsurer’ to ‘Admitted Reinsurer’

Devesh Srivastava, CMD, GIC Re, said “The upgrade to the new status was published in Brazilian Official Gazette, on April 14, 2020, through an ordinance by SUSEP. The license will allow the company to expand its presence and do more reinsurance business in Brazil. It is valid for an indefinite period.However, the admitted reinsurer is mandated to submit annual documents to SUSEP. The Americas have been a territory where the footprint of GIC Re has traditionally been weak and this will present us with good opportunities to harness more business and forge relationships in the area.”
