About RenaissanceRe

RenaissanceRe was founded in Bermuda in 1993, the year after Hurricane Andrew caused damage far beyond what anyone had modeled as a worst case.

Three decades on, we write $11.7 billion of gross premiums a year.

What is Reinsurance?

Insurance companies need insurance too. When a hurricane, an earthquake or a cyberattack produces more claims than one insurer can absorb, reinsurers like us take on part of that risk.

We cover portfolios of risk rather than individual policies, so we deal in a small number of very large losses. That is what makes the work analytical: we price risks that have not happened yet.
