Prior to this, he spent 14 years in various roles at Munich Re Group, where he spent time in Taiwan, Paris and the Head Office.
Schroders noted that Ruoff will bring extensive and management experience to the company, as well as a deep knowledge of the alternative capital market for reinsurance.
“The addition of a senior industry leader such as Stephan Ruoff to our team underlines Schroders commitment to being one of the leading institutional providers of investment solutions in the insurance linked solutions marketplace,” said Andreas Markwalder, CEO for Schroder Investment Management (Switzerland) AG.
