Companies throughout the insurance industry use reinsurance to manage their exposures more efficiently and expand their capacity to write new policies. While many reinsurers serve the life and property/casualty sectors, today Assured Guaranty is the only company with the resources, specialized know-how and corporate commitment to offer reinsurance for financial guarantees.
AG Re, our Bermuda-licensed reinsurance subsidiary, has built a significant book of business, assumed from numerous direct guarantors. This portfolio is an important element of Assured Guaranty’s business model, providing a reliable, long-term source of predictable earnings.
Our reinsurance business has two principal components – internal programs for transactions underwritten by Assured Guaranty affiliates and external programs for obligations of non-affiliated insurers.
