Swiss Re

Founded in Zurich in 1863, Swiss Re is a global provider of reinsurance, commercial insurance and other insurance-based risk-transfer solutions. It serves insurers, large and mid-sized corporations, governments and public-sector organisations rather than primarily selling insurance directly to consumers.

Its core businesses are Property & Casualty Reinsurance, Life & Health Reinsurance and Corporate Solutions, supported by asset management, risk data, alternative capital and public-sector capabilities. P&C Re covers property, casualty and specialty risks; L&H Re focuses on life and health portfolios; and Corporate Solutions provides tailored commercial insurance.

Swiss Re is especially strong in complex underwriting, catastrophe and specialty-risk modelling, structured risk transfer and the use of data and analytics in insurance decisions. Its asset-management platform oversees more than USD 110 billion generated by the Group's insurance and reinsurance businesses.
