About Santam Re

Santam Re was formed in 2010 as a division of Santam Limited, establishing itself as a technically competent and responsible reinsurer. We aim to grow our footprint through accurate risk analysis and sound pricing. The main geographical areas we cover are Africa, East Asia, the Indian subcontinent, the Middle East, and Eastern Europe.

Reinsurance business and underwriting

Santam Re only transacts proportional and non-proportional treaty reinsurance for marine and non-marine classes. No facultative reinsurance capacity is offered. While Santam Re is keen to grow its premium base, underwriting decisions follow a conservative approach for both percentage lines written and dollar-denominated capacities. All growth targets are subject to carefully modelled profit margins, which are essential to business operations.
