Investment Thesis

We are Neutral. RNR operates leading property catastrophe

reinsurance and third-party capital businesses, and more

recently, diversified into casualty/specialty insurance,

strengthening its position in a structurally competitive

reinsurance market. Like other P&C underwriters, and

especially the reinsurers, RNR benefited from the most recent

hard market cycle, but is now facing a period of softening prices

(particularly in property reinsurance). Term/conditions remain

largely stable, implying that margins, ROEs, and earnings

YTD 1m 3m 12m should stay healthy as growth slows. However, our view is this

Abs 17.0% 2.9% 5.8% 33.0% period of excess returns for RNR is temporary and not structural,

Rel -1.8% 5.0% 0.0% 2.4%

reflecting the cyclical and competitive nature of the reinsurance

Company Data market, which has over time attracted more providers of

Shares O/S (mn) 42 capacity, including third-party capital.
