PRESS RELEASE

 

Barbados, July 2026 — Active Capital Reinsurance, Ltd. (Active Re), a global reinsurer headquartered in Barbados, released its 2025 Annual Report “Positioned for What’s Ahead”, which presents the company’s key results, strategic progress, and priorities during a year defined by technical discipline, underwriting selectivity, and the continued strengthening of its international platform.

 

In a global reinsurance environment marked by increased competition, abundant capital, and pricing adjustments across several lines of business, Active Re maintained a strategy focused on prioritizing portfolio quality over volume growth, responsible risk management, and the sustainable creation of value. This approach enabled the company to close the year with a combined ratio of 88.4%, return on equity of 16.1%, technical result of USD 26.7 million, and total equity of USD 108 million.

 

For the third consecutive year, AM Best reaffirmed Active Re’s Financial Strength Rating of A (Excellent) and Long-Term Issuer Credit Rating of “a” (Excellent), both with a stable outlook, highlighting the company’s balance sheet strength, consistent operating performance, and robust enterprise risk management framework.

 

“In a market that continues to reward discipline, Active Re demonstrated that portfolio quality, capital strength, and technical consistency are the foundation of sustainable growth. During 2025, we made demanding decisions, prioritizing technically sound business, long-term relationships, and a clear risk vision. This approach allows us to enter the next cycle with a stronger balance sheet, a more diversified portfolio, and a team prepared to continue creating value for our clients, partners, and shareholders,” said Ramón Martínez Carrera, CEO of Active Re.

 

The 2025 Annual Report also highlights the consolidation of Active Re’s international presence. At year-end, the company served 628 cedants across 129 countries, supported by a team of 83 professionals and a network of 190 brokers and 15 Delegated Underwriting Authorities (DUAs). During the year, Active Re strengthened its regulatory presence in Argentina, advanced its recognition as a foreign reinsurer in several jurisdictions across the Middle East, Asia, and Africa, and deepened its relationships with cedants and brokers across North America, Latin America, the Caribbean, EMEA, and Asia-Pacific.

 

The treaty business remained a key growth pillar, driven by Property & Engineering, Specialty Lines, and Credit & Surety, while maintaining a disciplined approach that prioritized technical profitability over volume growth. The company also strengthened its global retrocession program and continued consolidating its Alternative Risk Transfer (ART) platform, expanding its ability to provide risk transfer and capital efficiency solutions.

 

The report also underscores important progress in innovation, digitalization, and operational efficiency. During the year, Active Re moved from the prototyping phase to the practical implementation of solutions supported by artificial intelligence, prioritizing tangible improvements in technical and operational processes. By the end of 2025, 50% of treaty technical accounts were being processed with the support of artificial intelligence, as part of a roadmap that will continue to evolve throughout 2026.

 

With these results, Active Re reaffirms its position as a global, specialized, and innovative reinsurer, committed to technical excellence, underwriting discipline, financial strength, and the creation of sustainable value for clients, strategic partners, and shareholders.
