Swiss Re: return on equity strategy

Swiss Re, the second largest reinsurer in terms of premiums, is concerned about its profitability. To achieve its long-term performance targets, the Swiss group plans to increase from 10% to 15% its return on equity of its corporate as well as property and casualty divisions. The reinsurer is also expecting an improvement of 2% of its two life entities: Life Reinsurance and Life Capital.

Also as part of its long term business strategy, Swiss Re wishes to broaden its customer base and inject its surplus cash in organic growth and acquisitions.
