Description of Reinsurance Group Of America Incorporated
Reinsurance Group of America, Incorporated (“RGA”) is an insurance
holding company that was formed on December 31, 1992. The consolidated financial
statements herein include the assets, liabilities, and results of operations of
RGA and its subsidiaries, all of which are wholly owned (collectively, the “Company”).
The Company has grown to become a leading global provider of traditional and non-traditional life and health reinsurance with operations in the United States, Latin America, Canada, Europe, Africa, Asia and Australia. Reinsurance is an arrangement under which an insurance company, the “reinsurer,” agrees to indemnify another insurance company, the “ceding company,” for all or a portion of the insurance and/or investment risks underwritten by the ceding company. Reinsurance is designed to (i) reduce the net amount at risk on individual risks, thereby enabling the ceding company to increase the volume of business it can underwrite, as well as increase the maximum risk it can underwrite on a single risk; (ii) stabilize operating results by leveling fluctuations in the ceding company’s loss experience; (iii) assist the ceding company in meeting applicable regulatory requirements; and (iv) enhance the ceding company’s financial strength and surplus position.

Reinsurance Group of America Incorporated (RGA) is a leading global reinsurance company focused on the life and health insurance sectors. It offers a wide array of reinsurance products and services tailored to meet the diverse needs of its clients across various regions, including the U.S. Latin America, Canada, Europe, the Middle East, Africa, and the Asia Pacific. Here’s an extensive breakdown of RGAs operations, segments, products, and services:
U.S. and Latin America Operations
RGAs U.S. and Latin America operations contribute significantly to its net premiums, representing about 56.3% of the total in 2015. This segment mainly involves traditional life and health reinsurance, asset-intensive products, and financial reinsurance services catered primarily to large U.S. life insurance companies.
Traditional Reinsurance
- Products: The Traditional Reinsurance segment primarily focuses on life and health solutions, providing reinsurance for individual life insurance, group insurance, and living benefits (such as critical illness and disability).
- Contracts: RGA operates through yearly renewable term agreements, coinsurance agreements, and modified coinsurance. Their reinsurance arrangements often account for different risk rates tailored to specific demographic profiles (smokers vs. non-smokers, males vs. females).
- Facultative and Automatic Treaty Business: The segment comprises both facultative and automatic treaty businesses, where:
- Facultative Reinsurance: RGA underwrites and assesses individual risks, with a strong focus on cases with multiple impairments or large policy amounts.
- Automatic Reinsurance: Agreements require that policies meet certain underwriting criteria, without RGA needing to assess each risk.
The marketing strategy emphasizes facultative reinsurance as a means to deepen ties with clients and enhance their automatic agreement portfolio.
Non-Traditional Reinsurance
- Asset-Intensive Reinsurance: This segment reinsures investments in annuities and corporate-owned life insurance, via coinsurance or modified coinsurance. It focuses on balancing the investment risk linked to financial products while managing interest rate scenarios. RGA emphasizes securing highly rated clients to mitigate financial exposure.
- Financial Reinsurance: RGA helps clients meet regulatory requirements, enhancing their financial solidity and surplus by assuming regulatory insurance liabilities. This may involve sophisticated arrangements where future profits are expected to repay the regulatory surplus enhancement.
Canada Operations
RGA Canada provides life and health reinsurance solutions, positioning itself as a leader in the Canadian market by focusing on individual life reinsurance and credit insurance arrangements.
