Deutsche Rück Discusses Risk Complexity and Capital in Reinsurance Market
What happened
Deutsche Rück's Chief Underwriting Officer spoke to Baden-Baden Today on October 17, 2026. She addressed the company's international expansion and emphasized that while capital is available in the reinsurance market, risks are becoming more complex and harder to assess.
Why it matters
The discussion highlights that disciplined risk selection and pricing are crucial for Deutsche Rück's growth, as more capital does not automatically reduce risk. The company noted that much of its capital increase came from retained earnings rather than a significant influx of new external funding.
