Since 2009, the Australia and New Zealand Insurance Industry Awards have named RGA “Australia and New Zealand Reinsurance Company of the Year” three times. 

Our team of nearly 100 full-time employees provides support across the entire lifecycle of your business, including underwriting, claims management, product development, and pricing.

RGA entered the Australia and New Zealand markets in 1996 on the strength of the company’s facultative underwriting. The company soon added comprehensive reinsurance products and services lines, including retail, group and financial solutions. In less than a decade, RGA was conducting business with all of the major life insurers in Australia and New Zealand.  Today, RGA is among the leading life reinsurers in the region.

The Insurance (Prudential Supervision) Act 2010 requires RGA Reinsurance Company of Australia Limited (“RGAA”) to maintain a solvency margin. Under an exemption granted by the Reserve Bank of New Zealand, this solvency margin is to be calculated in accordance with the Australian equivalent of the solvency requirements and for the statutory fund containing the life insurance business carried on in New Zealand (all of the New Zealand business is included in RGAA Statutory Fund No. 2).

As of 31 December 2023, the Prescribed Capital Amount (“PCA”) required to be held by RGAA Statutory Fund No. 2 under the Australian capital standards was NZ$16.6m. The capital available to meet this requirement was NZ$64.2m, which was NZ$47.7m in excess of the PCA. The Australian equivalent of the solvency margin was therefore AU$44.2m. The available capital was 3.87 times the PCA. 

The above amounts are based on unaudited returns to the Australian regulator effective 31 December 2023
