We want to raise our profile. Enhancing our position in Europe, the Middle East and North America and expanding in particular in the fast-growing Asian and Latin American markets will support our ambition to create a balanced and diversified portfolio of geographically independent risks.
Expanding and deepening our product offering will create lasting value for our clients, shareholders and staff. We are enthusiastic about staying a leading follow reinsurer in property, casualty and specialty treaty business and showing flexibility in engaging in proportional and non-proportional solutions.

We pay particular attention to the qualifications, experience and commitment of our staff, who will listen carefully to the needs of our clients and who have the authority and competence to engage with our partners in the global reinsurance market. Expert underwriting, professional actuarial services and efficient technical accounting remain key to our success. A lean and efficient organization and a low management expense ratio will support our ambition to achieve profitability and long-term releationship. We will also continue to digitalize our processes to make us fit for the future.
