About Swiss Re Solutions

\'Solutions\' is a central pillar of the reinsurance strategy, critical both to the development of the core reinsurance activities as well as for developing new revenue streams for Swiss Re. There is an opportunity to leverage the risk knowledge and capital of Swiss Re to create new shareholder value for Swiss Re through Solutions, which ultimately should lead to a valuation uplift.

Solutions are services and platforms delivered to clients that lead to new, more or better business profit generation for Swiss Re that would not happen through our traditional Reinsurance business. Key to the success of this business is our ability to serve/harvest existing clients and win new clients with a scope that extends beyond Swiss Re\'s traditional reinsurance clients to cover the full scope of all insurance companies and non-insurance partners in adjacent sectors where our risk knowledge can add value.

Solutions help Swiss Re\'s insurance clients to improve their own portfolio and enable growth. Examples of existing solutions include:

• Strategic portfolio insights based on data analytics
