RenaissanceRe Holdings Ltd.

Bermuda-based reinsurer covering catastrophe, property, casualty and specialty risks

What RenaissanceRe does

RenaissanceRe insures insurance companies. When a hurricane, earthquake, flood or other disaster hits, it helps pay those insurers' large losses. It also covers casualty and specialty risks such as liability, cyber, marine, aviation and credit.

How RenaissanceRe makes money

It collects reinsurance and insurance premiums, mostly through brokers and other intermediaries. It earns an underwriting profit when premiums exceed claims and costs, and it also earns investment income and fees from the funds it invests in and manages.
