Best's Market Segment Report: Reinsurers' Disciplined Capital Deployment and Underwriting Remain Key Foundations
BUSINESS WIRE)--A recalibration of the global reinsurance market since the January 2023 renewal period has led to a more-durable market structure characterized by reduced earnings volatility and stronger margins, supporting AM Best 's continued positive outlook on the industry. The Best's Market Segment Report, 'Reinsurers' Disciplined Capital Deployment and Underwriting Remain Key Foundations,' starts off AM Best's look at the global reinsurance industry ahead of the Rendez-Vous de Septembre in Monte Carlo. Other reports, including AM Best's ranking of top global reinsurance groups and in-depth looks at the insurance-linked securities, Lloyd's, life/annuity, health and regional reinsurance markets, will be available during August and September. According to this report, the shift since the January 2023 renewal in how risk is priced, shared and retained across the reinsurance industry has carried forward and translated into a second-straight year of solid results in 2024. The European 'Big Four' reinsurers posted a discounted combined ratio of 86.4% under IFRS 17; the discounting on average lowers the combined ratio by approximately eight percentage points. The U.S. and Bermuda composite reported an undiscounted combined ratio of 89.5% under U.S. GAAP. These results confirm that underwriting profitability has not only rebounded but is being sustained in the current reinsurance cycle. 'Reinsurers' risk-adjusted capitalization levels remain robust, reflecting retained earnings and disciplined capital management, and the strong underwriting profitability is being augmented by a surge in investment income given elevated interest rates,' said Michael Lagomarsino, senior director, AM Best. 'The absence of material new global reinsurance entrants also is ensuring that structural market discipline is maintained, distinguishing the current environment from previous market cycles.' According to the report, most global reinsurers have maintained their strong performance through the first half of 2025, despite global weather-related insured losses that will likely top USD 100 billion. These losses are primarily driven by the California wildfires, which many reinsurers are marking in the range of USD 30-50 billion. 'Assuming no further material weather events in the second half of 2025, the combination of disciplined underwriting, rate adequacy and robust investment income should deliver full-year operating results exceeding the cost of capital,' said Dan Hofmeister, associate director, AM Best. Global reinsurers also face headwinds other than climate change, including social inflation, growing geopolitical tensions and trade disputes, and these challenges underscore the importance of the market's improved structural foundations and explain why AM Best's outlook, though positive, remains closely scrutinized. 'The question now facing the industry is whether the improvements in terms and conditions represent a durable shift,' said Steven Chirico, director, AM Best. 'The lessons of past cycles suggest caution, but reinsurer sentiment has ensured tighter exposure management and market disciple in the current cycle.'

Lastly, AM Best will host its annual reinsurance market briefing at Rendez-Vous de Septembre on Sept. 7, 2025, at 10:15 a.m. (CEST) in Monte Carlo.

Volodymyr Zelensky meets Keir Starmer in Britain ahead of U.S.-Russia summit
British Prime Minister Keir Starmer (L) gives a very warm welcome to President Volodymyr Zelensky outside 10 Downing Street in London on Thursday morning as the Ukrainian leader arrived for talks ahead of a landmark U.S.-Russia summit that could decide his country's fate. Photo by Tolga Akmen/EPA Aug. 14 (UPI) -- British Prime Minister Keir Starmer hosted Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in Downing Street on Thursday to maintain the momentum of a European push to influence a summit between U.S. President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin. The high-profile meeting between the British and Ukrainian leaders, reported by the BBC, Sky News and The Telegraph, was described as a carefully choreographed display of support timed for just hours before the historic U.S.-Russia summit in Alaska, which Zelensky was left out of. Neither man commented nor provided any details of their discussion when the pair emerged from No. 10 after around 60 minutes. The London talks came as the Kremlin confirmed "resolving the Ukraine crisis" would be the main focus of the summit and that the delegation headed by Putin would include top aide Yuri Ushakov, Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, Defense Minister Andrey Belousov, Finance Minister Anton Siluanov and Russian sovereign wealth fund CEO Kirill Dmitriev. Co-chairing a meeting of European leaders, Zelensky and Trump on Wednesday, Starmer said a cease-fire between Russia and Ukraine was a "viable" outcome from what he called Friday's "hugely important" meeting, but stressed Ukraine's "territorial integrity" must be defended and international borders "must not be changed by force". "As I've said personally to President Trump for the three-and-a-bit years this conflict has been going on, we haven't got anywhere near a prospect of actually a viable solution, a viable way of bringing it to a ceasefire," said Starmer. "And now we do have that chance, because of the work the president has put in." However, Starmer said any cease-fire would have to be lasting and therefore needed "robust and credible security guarantees" and that European allies had established "this Coalition of the Willing" to back a post-war Ukraine militarily, with troops if necessary, to preempt Russia from breaking any peace agreement. The bloc backed Zelensky's demand that no decisions be made without Ukraine at the table. Trump emerged from the meeting to put Putin on notice he would face "severe consequences" if he did not agree to a cease-fire when the pair meet in Anchorage on Friday. Trump said that, provided the meeting went well, he would also seek a second meeting between Putin and Zelensky to hammer out the details of a peace deal.
