Company Profile: Thai Re

Although Thai Re is privately owned (its shareholders comprise a number of local insurers), its position in the market is that of the ‘national’ reinsurer. All local insurers ‘voluntarily’ cede 5% of their reinsurance to the company. The Thai market, however, remains one of the most open to foreign participation in Asia. Thai Re is one of only two professional reinsurers to be listed on the stock market in the South East Asian region.
