Scor

The second edition of the survey generated a ranking of 227 reinsurance professionals

The company is partnering with Scor to provide capacity for its credit insurance policy.

The Scor-owned Lloyd’s operation pins its woes on property and professional liability lines.

Trading partnerships with South East Asia, LatAm and the Mena region are also being targeted.

The French investor fires a new round in its long-running battle with the reinsurer.

After Hurricane Katrina, a slew of big composite insurers including Axa and Chubb spun off their reinsurance arms, citing their excessive volatility.

The reinsurer is urging shareholders to reject CIAM’s proposal to split the chairman and CEO roles.

The investor demands the CEO and chairman role be split and pledges to vote the lead director off the board.

While large European reinsurers achieved “significant growth” at 1.1, rates tended to be flat to up 1 percent.

Spichtig, McMurdo and Pinho are also promoted in a number of changes to be made following Peignet’s retirement.

In a comparison that you should only attempt if you have a French accent, Scor chairman and CEO Denis Kessler once quipped that traditional reinsurance was the wife of the insurance world, while ILS was the mistress.

With US activist investors now settled in Europe and native species such as Scor nemesis CIAM also flourishing, what should the (re)insurer CEO or chair do when that unsolicited phone call comes?
