Zurich

Switzerland

The year 2011 saw an important change in Swiss Re's legal structure and operating model. Three distinct Business Units aligned to Swiss Re's core activities – reinsurance, direct corporate insurance, and direct life insurance – started being consolidated under the new holding company, Swiss Re Ltd: Reinsurance, Corporate Solutions, and Admin Re®.

Reinsurance is all about Swiss Re's traditional core business and is the largest of the Business Units.

Corporate Solutions offers insurance capacity to midsized and multinational companies. This line of business has a long tradition within Swiss Re.

Admin Re® offers risk and capital management solutions for life insurance companies by assuming closed books of in-force life and health insurance business, entire lines or entire capital stocks.
(Since 2016 Admin Re® is part of the newly created Business Unit Life Capital.)

The aim of the 2011 reorganisation was to strengthen the identity of each Business Unit and to improve the capital efficiency.
