Risk expertise and risk assessment

In the context of our business operations we knowingly enter into a broad range of risks. As a leading player in the reinsurance industry, our commercial success is crucially dependent on the correct assessment of present and emerging risks. This process of evaluating risks is growing in complexity owing to the constant monitoring and analysis of new and emerging risks, trends and future-related factors; sustainability aspects are also playing a greater role here. In some instances these have direct strategic and operational relevance to our reinsurance products and the management of our investments. We can gain insights from the risks and opportunities for our own risk management and also use them as a basis for product and service innovations. In this way, we constantly adjust to societal changes and the needs of our clients. Not only does this enhance our competitiveness, it also boosts trust among our customers and business partners.

A detailed description of our risk expertise and risk assessment is provided in the "Opportunity and risk report".
