Hannover Re has for the seventh time transferred a portfolio of its life and annuity reinsurance to the capital markets. The transaction, called ‘L7’, encompasses a financing volume of EUR 100 million and covers unit-linked life and annuity business of several European clients. As with all insurance-linked securitizations of this type it enables Hannover Re to monetise future earnings of EUR 100M right now.
