Munich Re

Founded in Germany in 1880, Munich Re has developed from a traditional reinsurer into a global insurance group. Its activities span reinsurance, primary insurance through ERGO, specialty insurance and asset management through MEAG.

The group works with insurers, businesses and public-sector clients across life and health, property and casualty, cyber, climate, renewable energy and other specialist risks. Its reinsurance business remains the core of the group, while ERGO gives Munich Re a substantial direct-insurance presence.

Munich Re is especially strong in underwriting and managing unusual or high-severity risks, supported by large-scale data, actuarial expertise and capital strength. For students, relevant entry points include actuarial work, underwriting, risk modelling, claims, finance, technology, investments and insurance strategy.
