The best non-life reinsurers in LatAm

Researchers quizzed cedants on which reinsurers they rate the highest, based on a variety of criteria. The following tables show the most highly regarded reinsurers in Latin America on this basis.

The 2015 Flaspöhler LatAm non-life (cedants) survey, by the Flaspöhler Research Group, is based on the responses of 397 cedants, representing 179 companies in 31 countries in Latin America.

Researchers asked cedants to evaluate non-life reinsurers based on various criteria. A scale of 1 to 9 was used where 9 means the reinsurer is very good and 1 means the reinsurer is very poor. Cedants were asked to evaluate only reinsurers they use and/or know well, and on criteria they deem as being very mportant.

The following tables show the top 10 reinsurers in each category only. The winner of each category and its score is shown top; the other nine companies are ranked not by score but in alphabetical order.
