With selected research partners, we explore the future of risk coverage, assess changes in the risk landscape and act as a catalyst for industry change.
Swiss Re’s latest sigma 4/2012, "Facing the interest rate challenge", explores how interest rates affect insurers and explains why a rapid rise in or sustained low interest rates can be a challenge. Life insurers are more impacted than non-life insurers, but even within life insurance, interest rate sensitivity varies by product, with savings business being the most affected.
Our data driven research publications, including the industry leading sigma, enable risk focussed decision making and identify strategic opportunities in the re/insurance industry.
