Company Report

Hannover Is One of the Best Reinsurers

Hannover is probably one of the most efficiently run reinsurers in our European reinsurance coverage. The business is based in a low-cost location, and the number of employees that support the business is more efficient than at peers. We believe the combination of its low-cost location, lean and flat structure, organic growth, and homogenous technology have made the group the most expense-efficient European reinsurer we cover. Versus larger peers, we think Hannover is a more agile and nimbler organization, and its focus on brokers as its primary channel would support this. Through these brokers, Hannover supports insurance companies, mutuals, and governments.

Company Profile

Hannover Re is a reinsurance company headquartered in Hannover, Germany. Its roots go back to the 1920s when, in conjunction with the Gerling Group, Haftpflichtverband founded Eisen- und Stahl-Industrie to provide reinsurance services. In the 1960s ownership of the business was turned over to Haftpflichtverband, and Aktiengesellschaft für Transport und- Rückversicherung was founded. This was the basis of Hannover Re. The business expanded into life and health reinsurance in the 1990s, and over the next 30 years expanded beyond its core domestic market of Germany to write business internationally. Hannover sold its commercial specialty insurance business to Talanx in January 2019. Hannover was listed in the 1990s on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange.
