Barents Re does not participate in every type of business because underwriting discipline is fundamental to its success. On the commercial side, Barents Re is especially strong in Bonds, Energy, Financial Lines, Construction & Engineering, Property, Marine Cargo, Life and Accident & Health. Barents Re is also a growing presence in the Consumer arena with participation in a number of Affinity programs. The Barents Re portfolio is exemplified by low severity risk.

​

Barents Re seeks to create value for shareholders by generating an underwriting profit. To achieve this, the company allocates capital in line with risk exposure and potential underwriting returns.

This is crucial to maintaining its strong financial position and supporting its business expansion. Barents Re’s investment strategy is focused on high grade bonds tailored to underlying insurance liabilities, with an allocation to alternative investments.

 

Barents Re is committed to providing the highest level of service to its clients and brokers, which it believes is critical to its ability to build and maintain long-term relationships and ensure its continued success.
