We manage risks actively

Our capital model is the cornerstone of Hannover Re

We manage our risk exposure to achieve a positive net income with a probability
of 90%

We ensure that the probability of an economic as well as IFRS capital loss does
not exceed 0.03%

We ensure that our reserving level is conservative
Use of retrocession

Conservative reserving
Stringent U/W discipline
Facts & figures | 1. Our mission | 2. Ambitious targets | 3. Manage risks | 4. Preferred partner | 5. Stable investment income | Outlook |
Capital allocation follows internal model requirements. . .
. . .as well as management decisions

The target capital to be allocated includes IFRS equity, hybrid capital and
valuation reserves (economic valuation differences to IFRS valuation)

According to the risk profiles of the underlying business our internal capital model
defines the capital allocation:
• Approximation: 50% non-life U/W / 25% life and health U/W / 25% asset management

The allocated capital earns minimum the risk-free return

The Minimum Return on Capital (MRC) in excess of risk free is a weighted
average of requirements on IFRS-equity, hybrid capital and valuation reserves

Targets are calculated based on allocated capital and MRC in relation to an
underlying business:
• For non-life and life and health U/W: GWP  capital margin above risk free
• For asset management: AuM  RoI above risk free

The target C/R translates our economic targets into the IFRS accounting world
• At a target C/R of ~98.0% non-life U/W contributes to achieve our economic targets
• Target C/R = (NPE + economic revaluation – minimum return on economic capital) / NPE

Numerous benefits
of an above-average rating coupled with our CRM-approach

We have a better showing of business than the average player
• Not excluded from virtually any business/access to all lines of business
• We enjoy a highly diversified, high quality book of business

We are on virtually all broker lists, with cedents often demanding specific R/Is

We get very high allocations when we quote for business
• >90% vs. some 50% for a Bermuda start-up

We create lower capital charges for our cedents
• "AA" range S&P capital charge on reinsurance recoverables = 0.8%
("A" = 1.4%, BBB = 3.1%)
• As an above-average rated R/I, we "minimise" our cedents' cost of capital

Our cost of financing in the capital markets is lower
• Hybrid bonds trade at tighter spreads
• Better conditions for LoCs and credit lines
We might not (yet) get paid extra for our better rating on a
contract level, but other advantages are significant
