S&P Global Ratings has revealed the top 40 global reinsurers in the market as of 2023, through the latest edition of its Global Reinsurance Highlights report.

Germany-based Munich Re nabbed the top spot, with a rating of AA- and the only positive outlook across all the 40 ranked. The company recorded $48.747 trillion in net reinsurance premiums written as of 2022 and a pretax operating income of $1.623 trillion. Its overall results for Q2 2023 also revealed that the group is well on its way to achieving its annual target.

Coming in second is Swiss Re, which followed closely at $43.917 trillion in net reinsurance premiums written and a pretax operating income of $654 million. Hannover Rueck SE, another German firm, took third place with $31.969 trillion in net reinsurance premiums written and $2.027 trillion in pretax operating income.

Rounding out the top five are Berkshire Hathaway Insurance Group and SCOR, recording $22.147 trillion and $17.046 trillion in net reinsurance premiums written, respectively.

China Reinsurance Group took sixth place and is notable as the only Asian reinsurer that cracked the top 10. Lloyd’s snagged seventh place, followed by the Reinsurance Group of America at eighth, and Everest Group at ninth. Finally, Partner Re took the last spot in the top 10, although it is worth noting that it has not listed its pretax operating income for 2022.
