About RGA Hong Kong
 
At RGA Hong Kong, we have steadily increased our market share to become a dominant player in Hong Kong and Southeast Asia in less than two decades. We achieved this by making a commitment to three priorities: Develop the most innovative products in the marketplace, adopt an aggressive pricing strategy and provide the best client service in the region.
 
​Leader in New Business
Today, we serve 80 clients in Southeast Asia, including Singapore, Thailand, the Philippines, Indonesia, Malaysia and Vietnam. We are the lead reinsurer for 25 multi-national corporations and signed more than 25 automatic arrangements (excluding addendums and amendments) in Hong Kong and Southeast Asia in 2010.
 
In 2009, we ranked #1 in Hong Kong and Southeast Asia for new business, achieving a 21% market share of total new business by NMG’s Life and Health Reinsurance Program. NMG also ranked us #1 in the Business Capability Index in 2009, which is a measure of how well we are viewed by insurers in terms of providing service and support to clients.
 
We also were named “Life Reinsurer of the Year” by the Asia Insurance Industry Awards in 2008.
 
Comprehensive Products and Services
We offer a comprehensive line of products and services including individual life reinsurance, individual living benefits reinsurance, individual health reinsurance and group reinsurance. We are also responsible for RGA International Corporation's High Net Worth Initiative, which serves predominantly private bank customers in the Asian region. We also developed innovative products to support Small Medium Enterprise, mortgage and critical illness business lines.
 
In addition, we offer financial solutions expertise to help you manage your risk and capital through capital-motivated reinsurance and asset-intensive/annuity reinsurance

We specialize in supporting family retakaful through RGA Labuan’s Retakaful Window under the guidance of our Shariah Council and our experienced local leadership team. We also support bancassurance and are well positioned to help you enter the bancassurance market or increase your bancassurance market share.
