The RE Way

More than a slogan, The RE Way is Power Re’s operating culture, the set of values, behaviors and standards that govern how we underwrite, pay claims, manage capital and treat the people we work with.

Reinsurance is a promise to pay, often years before the claim, always when it is least convenient. A promise like that can only be trusted if the culture behind it is disciplined, consistent and honest. The RE Way is how Power Re makes that culture explicit.

It has a deliberate symmetry. Our values begin with RE, Respect, Results, Responsiveness, Responsibility. Our identity ends in RE, SecuRE, CoRE, CultuRE, CaRE, MeasuRE, FutuRE, EnduRE. Between the two sits everything we do as a reinsurer: measuring risk, securing capital, and enduring through the cycle.

Why culture is a rating and franchise issue

Rating agencies and cedants do not only assess capital and pricing, they assess whether an organization behaves consistently under pressure. A strong, documented culture of discipline is itself evidence of enterprise risk management and long-term credibility.

Our Values

Values that begin with RE

Four commitments, and what each one demands of us in the day-to-day business of reinsurance.

REspect
Respect · Respeto

We treat cedants, brokers, retrocessionaires, regulators and colleagues with integrity and candor, including when we say no.

In practice: we decline business honestly and explain our terms, rather than winning on ambiguity.

REsults
Results · Resultados

We grow by quality, consistency and risk-adjusted return, never by premium volume for its own sake.

In practice: every risk must clear a technical hurdle before capacity is deployed.

REsponsiveness
Responsiveness · Respuesta

We answer quickly and decisively. In facultative reinsurance, a clear, timely answer is itself a service.

In practice: we commit to fast turnaround on submissions and transparent claims handling.

REsponsibility
Responsibility · Responsabilidad

We are stewards of capital that must be there years from now. Prudence today protects the promise tomorrow.

In practice: we hold conservative reserves and protect capital with a disciplined retrocession program.

The RE Way in action

How the culture shows up where it matters, in the decisions that define a reinsurer.

In underwriting

We select risks on their merits and let marginal business go. Growth by selection, not by volume.

In claims

We pay valid claims promptly and fairly. The claim is the moment our promise is tested.

In capital

We preserve risk-adjusted capital with prudent reserving, admissible assets and retrocession.

In governance

We document decisions and welcome challenge. Nothing important lives only in someone’s head.

Behaviors

How we behave

The everyday behaviors that make the values real.

  • We price the risk, not the relationship. Terms reflect exposure, never pressure to win a placement.
  • We say what we mean. Clear wordings, clear exclusions, no surprises at claim time.
  • We measure everything. Decisions are grounded in data, actuarial analysis and documented judgment.
  • We think in cycles, not quarters. We resist the temptation to relax discipline when the market softens.
  • We protect the promise. Capital preservation and claims-paying ability come before growth, always.
FutuRE built to EnduRE. REsilience is our CoRE.
