Catastrophe

Delivering proprietary risk analytics, trusted advice and protection from the financial impact of natural and man-made catastrophes

Founded as a catastrophe company, PartnerRe continues to be a leading reinsurer of Catastrophe risk today. We combine first-class underwriting with state-of-the art research, modeling and portfolio analytics in order to protect our partners from the financial impact of all natural perils (including tropical cyclones, earthquakes, tornadoes, hail and wildfire) and man-made catastrophes.

Our catastrophe risk analysis and pricing is supported by our proprietary models, which give us an independent view of the risk landscape and an understanding of the key assumptions and limitations of third-party models.

Our knowledgeable teams are dedicated to supporting insurers looking to protect their international, regional or domestic exposures in the event of a catastrophe.

We provide meaningful reinsurance capacity, with a focus on building sustainable long-term solutions. We draw upon the expertise of both a centralized catastrophe unit and regionally located underwriters familiar with local market practices.

Catastrophe
Research

We believe scientific research is fundamental to the assessment of catastrophe risk. Our Catastrophe Research Team is responsible for all aspects of scientific research and drives PartnerRe’s unique View of Risk, investigating both natural hazards and man-made influences.

Our Unique View of Risk
Serving as the basis of our catastrophe risk analysis and pricing, our unique View of Risk is centered around the development of our proprietary CatFocus® models. These models are built and maintained by our research experts in collaboration with world-class academic and scientific institutions, used alongside third-party models, with full knowledge of their key assumptions and limitations, covering all major perils, e.g. North Atlantic Hurricane, California Wildfire, European Windstorm & Japan Typhoon, Europe Earthquake.
