New Reinsurance Company Ltd. (NewRe) is a Swiss reinsurer founded in Zurich in 1926. Since 1988 it has operated as part of the Munich Re Group, a leading player in reinsurance. The company blends the financial strength associated with a large reinsurer with the flexibility typical of a mid-sized firm, aiming to respond quickly to client needs and changing market conditions. Headquartered in the Zurich region, NewRe serves clients seeking reinsurance solutions across property and casualty as well as life lines. Its offering includes structured life and non-life reinsurance, weather derivatives, and parametric trigger covers, along with specialized life products such as variable annuity reinsurance and capital management solutions. A notable recent development is the appointment of Iris Urban as Chief Underwriting Officer for the non-life business, effective March 1, 2025.
