Swiss Re has made a huge turnaround, bouncing back from a net loss in the first nine months of 2022 to a net income in the same period this year.

Of the total net profit in the first nine months, US$1 billion came from the third quarter.
“Swiss Re’s performance in the first nine months of 2023 is the result of our continued focus on underwriting quality,” group chief executive Christian Mumenthaler said. “This has enabled us to navigate a heightened risk environment that continues to be characterized by significant loss events for the insurance industry.
“In light of the good performance year to date, we maintain our targets for the full year including a group net income of more than US$3 billion. We continue to focus on our disciplined underwriting strategy that provides a strong base for the future.”
Swiss Re’s full-year 2023 results will be announced in February 2024, while the company’s 160th annual general meeting will take place in April.
