reinsurance broker

Willis Re, the recently established reinsurance brokerage launched by WTW in a joint venture established with specialist private investment firm Bain Capital, is building out its broking expertise of relevance to the insurance-linked securities and third-party reinsurance capital markets.

As momentum continues to build within the reinsurance sidecar market, these structures are increasingly viewed as an attractive capital sourcing opportunity for managing general agents (MGAs), and investment for ILS managers, hedge or pension funds, and family-office investors, according to Willis Re.

As the reinsurance market continues to expand and adapt to the current wave of technological change, increasing capital diversity is enabling the development of new products. At the same time, data-driven enhancements in modeling tools and risk-analysis processes are encouraging a broader range of investors to back reinsurance, according to Willis Re.
