"2017 was marked by an exceptional series of major natural catastrophes. SCOR successfully passed this real-life stress test, honoring all of its commitments to its clients and contributing to the protection of hundreds of thousands of people severely affected by catastrophes, while managing to deliver a good set of results."
What is
Reinsurance?
Reinsurance is at the heart of risk management, it enables insurers to cover their risks by ceding part of them, in order to mutualize them worldwide. SCOR covers major Non-Life risks including large catastrophe risks (both natural and man-made catastrophes: hurricanes, floods, volcanic eruptions, explosions, fires, plane crashes, etc.), and Life biometric risks (trends and shocks on mortality, longevity and morbidity lines, both long term and short term). The challenge for reinsurance professionals consists of identifying, selecting, assessing and pricing risks, in order to be able to absorb them.
