What RenaissanceRe does

Specialist reinsurer focused on property catastrophe risk, also writing casualty and specialty reinsurance.

Sells reinsurance, most of it renewed at set times each year, earning premiums for taking on others' large risks and keeping the margin after claims. It also earns fees and profit shares for managing outside investors' money, which sits alongside its own funds in the same risks. Buying Validus Re from AIG in 2023 enlarged its books.
