Financial Market Reinsurance

Manage financial market risks as part of your growth trajectory.

Rising to the challenge

In today's volatile financial environment, insurance CFOs, Capital, Asset and Product Management teams face growing challenges, while banks and asset managers compete with insurers to attract policyholders. You need to deliver innovative savings and retirement products that meet policyholders' needs, while optimising shareholders' returns, managing your capital position and simplifying your end-to-end operating model.

The Power of Reinsurance Make your capital work harder

Reinsurance can offer multiple advantages over banking solutions or managing in-house. It can provide an efficient and cost-effective alternative to traditional funding sources, such as debt and equity, reducing the economic cost of equity capital by stabilising future earnings and dividends.

In contrast, the use of derivatives, issuing sub-debt, or internal captive solutions could have undesirable consequences resulting in more financial instability or operational complexity.

Well-recognised by regulators as a capital management tool, Reinsurance can act as a capital substitute – whether through increasing available capital or reducing required capital. Our solutions can be customised to your specific financial needs, underlying risks and portfolio characteristics.
