Our focus on digital solutions is two-fold: Firstly, our Reinsurance Solutions team is exploring how to maximise our established technological solutions to allow our clients to increase efficiencies and grow profitably. Secondly, our team is meanwhile building the partnerships that will allow companies in adjacent industries to expand within the risk knowledge and insurance space.

Swiss Re Reinsurance Solutions is comprised of close to 400 risk experts. In line with our One Swiss Re approach, we bring specialised solutions to both our Property & Casualty Reinsurance (P&C Re) and Life & Health Reinsurance (L&H Re) Business Units.

In addition, our Risk Consulting and Analytics teams help solve our partners' problems and realise their opportunities by offering expertise and insights into areas such as data analytics and behavioural economics – topics that prove relevant across the entire insurance value chain. Our distribution partnership specialists open the door to more expansive partnerships with non-client insurers, technology providers and corporate clients who are looking for risk management solutions.

Reinsurance Solutions' success in 2023 was achieved by maximising the proven benefits of established solutions, while also incorporating innovations. The CatNet® solution, for example, continues to see high demand from P&C Re and Corporate Solutions' clients. In 2023, corporate risk managers used our online natural catastrophe intelligence tool as a resource to visualise their exposure worldwide through our background maps and satellite imagery.

On the L&H Re side, Magnum remains a leading automated underwriting solution. Utilising the intelligence from Swiss Re's Life Guide – the industry's number one underwriting manual according to the prestigious Global L&H Re Study by NMG Consulting – Magnum allows life insurers to onboard new customers efficiently and at speed, while maintaining the integrity of risk selection.

When it comes to innovation, one of our teams formed new partnerships to bring our automated life claims solutions to clients in the US. The Automated Claims Experience (ACE) solution simplifies and quickens the process of filing a claim on a life insurance policy.

For the Swiss Re Group, the Reinsurance Solutions business remains strategically significant because we provide new revenue streams by generating fee-based business.

As we scale up our capacity, we recognise that our investment in product development needs to generate the best possible returns. To this end, we have placed primary importance on strongly controlling costs while increasing revenue through our existing and new clients. This will allow us to charge the right price for reinsurance solutions and to create new income streams by broadening our existing client relationships as well as targeting new clients.
