Financial Solutions

Hannover Life Re has considerable experience in financial reinsurance in the life and health sector.

Financial solutions refer to financial partnerships with primary insurers:  long term assets are created through a mutual investment; both parties reaping the gains of the cooperation after a specified period. A typical asset would be a portfolio of  life policies. A typical transaction would be a quota share treaty for financing new business (acquisition costs).

  • absorb new business strains
  • enter into new ventures
  • support mergers and acquisitions
  • optimise tax, solvency and surplus requirements
  • release embedded values for maturing profits
