Deutsche Rück offers reinsurance cover to its shareholders, Germany's public insurers, since 1951. Today, our Group underwrites 40% of its business outside the shareholder group with clients in Europe. Members of the Deutsche Rück Group are the parent company Deutsche Rückversicherung AG in Düsseldorf and the Zurich-based subsidiary DR Swiss, Deutsche Rückversicherung Switzerland Ltd. Their joint gross premiums written amount to over €1 billion in 2009.

Our capital resources guarantee our clients top security. Our corporate philosophy is geared towards continuity and consistency: we seek and form stable and reliable partnerships with aligned interests in long-term reinsurance relationships. In 2010, Standard & Poor's affirmed our A+ rating.

Primary insurance shapes and guides our thoughts and actions. With this focus we meet our clients’ expectations for solutions which address their business.

With our experienced underwriters and account executives we stand for fast and efficient decision-making process.

Our proficient, market-experienced and dedicated staff plus a lean organisational structure enable us to process requests and suggestions from our clients quickly, expediently and with a high degree of flexibility.

We not only offer the transfer of risks, but also support our clients' business with services in life insurance and in property/casualty lines. We offer actuarial and geo-scientific risk assessment, portfolio modelling and product development.

Our partnership with the Association of Public Insurers supports mutual transfer of knowledge and saves administrative costs. The corporation serves the public insurers as a captive and a professional association.
