About Reinsurance Group of America, I
About Reinsurance Group of America, I
Reinsurance Group of America provides traditional life and health reinsurance — covering individual and group life, disability, long-term care, and critical illness — as well as financial solutions including asset-intensive reinsurance, longevity reinsurance, stable value products, pension risk transfer, and capital solutions. Primary U.S. subsidiaries, including RGA Reinsurance Company and RGA Life and Annuity Insurance Company, are domiciled in Missouri and supervised by the Missouri Department of Commerce and Insurance (MDCI) as RGA's group supervisor. A significant portion of net premiums comes from non-U.S. operations spanning Canada, EMEA, Asia Pacific, and Latin America.
RGA earns income by assuming mortality, morbidity, lapse, longevity, and investment risk from ceding companies, receiving premium in return for indemnifying them against claims above retention limits. Traditional reinsurance is written on facultative or automatic treaty bases, with pricing driven by assumptions about mortality trends, lapse rates, and investment returns; deviations generate reserve strengthening charges and income statement volatility. For asset-intensive reinsurance, the company actively co-manages investment portfolios with clients — including funds-withheld structures where the ceding company legally owns the assets — and closed a reinsurance transaction with subsidiaries of Equitable Holdings, Inc. on July 31, 2025. Reserve financing for Regulation XXX statutory requirements relies on retrocession to affiliated captives and third-party reinsurers; if collateral capacity tightens, the company may need to raise additional capital or alter the volume and type of business underwritten.
Show full overview
Missouri's MDCI acts as RGA's group supervisor and has operated a supervisory college of international regulators since October 2012, which could impose limitations on subsidiary activities if conditions warrant. Use of affiliated captive reinsurers for Regulation XXX reserves is permitted for captives organized before 2016, but arrangements established after 2015 face more restrictive standards; if RGA cannot effectively utilize captives for new business, the company may need to raise capital or alter its business mix. Ratings agencies periodically review capital adequacy, and a downgrade could trigger collateral-posting requirements or give ceding companies the right to terminate certain reinsurance contracts.
