Swiss Life Reinsurance has a holistic view and understanding of the life (re)insurance industry, from both a cendent’s and a reinsurer’s perspective. This puts us at the forefront of understanding client needs.

The Swiss Life Reinsurance unit operates out of Zurich, Switzerland with a dedicated and experienced team of professionals. The lean structure, flat hierarchy and autonomy of Swiss Life Reinsurance means that our partners deal with empowered decision makers.

Swiss Life Reinsurance has assumed life retrocessions and life reinsurance for around 50 years in Europe and for almost 35 years in North America. While writing business globally, our focus is on North America, Europe and selected countries within APAC.

Swiss Life Reinsurance has over 50 partners, among them leading life insurance and reinsurance companies. Our aim is to continuously strive to be a reliable and flexible long-term partner.
