Barbados-based reinsurer Active Capital Reinsurance, Ltd. (Active Re) has successfully completed its Global Retrocession Programme, purchasing more comprehensive protection in terms of scope and territory.
The retrocession programme was placed as part of a capital protection strategy aimed at preserving balance sheet strength throughout the market cycle.
The protection covers Active Re’s in-house underwriting with their selected MGA partners, ensuring both depth and diversification of expertise.
The consolidated structure and execution required an 18-month process. The company’s core structures are now supported by a panel of expert A- and better-rated retrocessionaires who have been long-standing partners of Active Re, reinforcing the stability and credibility of the programme.
The placement was carried out through London-based brokers with extensive market expertise. As a result, Active Re secured a cost-efficient and robust placement on a risk-adjusted basis, balancing comprehensive protection with disciplined economics.
Active Re also reported expanded participation in the cyber risk segment during 2025, supported by disciplined accumulation management and portfolio monitoring in line with the company’s underwriting philosophy.
Operationally, Active Re accelerated the integration of artificial intelligence tools within its technical processes. As of January 2026, 50% of technical account statements were processed with AI support. The initiative aims to enhance analytical capability, processing consistency and internal control standards, further strengthening the organisation’s operating model.
Ramón Martínez Carrera, Chief Executive Officer of Active Re, commented, “Our priority throughout 2025 was to safeguard capital resilience and maintain underwriting discipline. Completing our retrocession programme with high-quality markets and advancing AI integration strengthens our ability to manage volatility while preserving technical integrity.”
