Versicherer: Hannover Rück sieht sich auf Kurs – Ruhige Hurrikan-Saison
Der weltweit drittgrößte Rückversicherer legt seine Zahlen für das dritte Quartal vor. Trotz bröckelnder Preise kann das Unternehmen seinen Kurs halten.
Hannover Rück, the third largest global reinsurer, has maintained its course towards achieving its annual targets despite falling prices. The company's non-life insurance premiums increased 1% year-on-year to €19.5 billion in the first nine months of 2026, the insurer announced on Monday. After taxes, profits rose by nearly 7% to €2.1 billion. The company aims to maintain a profit target of at least €2.7 billion for the full year, provided large-scale damages stay within the €2.3 billion reserve.
According to Hannover Rück's Chief Executive Officer, Clemens Jungsthöfel, the company's disciplined underwriting focus and lean business model enable profitable growth, particularly in property and casualty insurance across all market phases. The unseasonably mild hurricane season in the Atlantic proved beneficial during the first nine months.
So far, the company has paid out €1.32 billion for natural catastrophes and other large-scale damages, against a €1.79 billion allocated budget. The most significant single losses were the August earthquake in Colombia amounting to €216 million and the early-year storms over Spain and Portugal totaling €136 million.
