Barbados-based reinsurer Active Capital Reinsurance, Ltd. (Active Re) has received authorisation to operate as an admitted reinsurer in Argentina.
According to Active Re, this approval enables the company to participate in a market which it believes is characterised by a solid technical foundation and growing demand for specialised reinsurance solutions, and enhances its regional presence.
The reinsurer has 18 years of international reinsurance experience and operates in over 137 countries, serving approximately 650 cedants through a global network of 170 brokers.
Active Re’s platform combines underwriting discipline, prudent capital management, and long-term partnerships across both developed and emerging markets.
Active Re’s Financial Strength Rating of A (Excellent) and an “a” (Excellent) Long-Term Issuer Credit Rating, with stable outlooks, was reaffirmed by AM Best in 2025.
These reflect the reinsurer’s strong risk-adjusted capitalisation, consistent operating performance, and robust enterprise risk management framework, according to the credit ratings agency.
Looking ahead, the company plans to develop strategic relationships with insurers and brokers in Argentina, focusing on opportunities aligned with its risk appetite and underwriting criteria, while maintaining a disciplined and sustainable growth approach.
Ramón Martínez Carrera, Chief Executive Officer, Active Re, commented, “Authorisation in Argentina is a meaningful milestone within our regional expansion strategy. It allows us to engage with a technically solid market while contributing capacity supported by disciplined underwriting and risk management practices consistent with international standards.”
