Global Reinsurance Awards 2015

In order to generate the relevant data to identify these results, we first compiled shortlists based on extensive research and a similar survey conducted in 2014.

We then used multiple choice answers where each participant was asked to score a shortlist of nominees out of 10 based on various criteria, with 10 being exceptional and 1 being very poor.

To display this information in a comparable way, we then ranked each company in graphics. These are reflective of the average score companies and individuals received out of ten.

In the event of scores being exceptionally close, the figure has been shown to one extra decimal point to demonstrate the correct rankings.

The research reveals those which, based on the perceptions of global executives, are considered the best in their fields. On that basis, they are also our 2015 award winners.
