Active Re Completes Its Global Retrocession Programme And Strengthens Technical Execution Through AI Integration

Barbados, March 2026 – Active Capital Reinsurance, Ltd. (Active Re) announced the successful completion of its Global Retrocession Programme as part of its strategic year-end 2025 initiatives, reinforcing its capital resilience in an increasingly competitive market environment. The Company also reported expanded participation in the cyber risk segment and further progress in the integration of artificial intelligence across its technical processes.

 

The retrocession program was placed as part of a deliberate capital protection strategy aimed at preserving balance sheet strength throughout the market cycle.  The retrocession purchases are more comprehensive in scope and territory and cover Active Re’s robust in-house underwriting with their carefully selected MGA partners, ensuring both depth and diversification of expertise. 

 

The consolidated structure and execution required an 18-month process, reflecting the complexity of the design, attention to detail, and diligence applied throughout the process. The company’s core structures are now supported by a panel of expert A- and better retrocessionaires and who have been long-standing partners to Active Re, reinforcing the stability and credibility of their solution. The placement itself was carried out through, London-based, globally recognised brokers with extensive market expertise, further strengthening the quality of execution. As a result, Active Re has secured something that is cost-efficient, on a risk adjusted basis, and robust, which balances comprehensive protection with disciplined economics.

 

During 2025, Active Re selectively expanded its participation in the cyber risk segment, reflecting a prudent growth approach within technically complex lines. This expansion was supported by disciplined accumulation management and rigorous portfolio monitoring, in line with the Company’s underwriting philosophy.

 

Operationally, Active Re accelerated the integration of artificial intelligence tools within its technical processes. As of January 2026, 50% of technical account statements were processed with AI support. This initiative is aimed at enhancing analytical capability, processing consistency and internal control standards, further strengthening the organisation’s operating model.

 

 

Commenting on the year-end milestones, Ramón Martínez Carrera, Chief Executive Officer of Active Re, stated “Our priority throughout 2025 was to safeguard capital resilience and maintain underwriting discipline. Completing our retrocession programme with high-quality markets and advancing AI integration strengthens our ability to manage volatility while preserving technical integrity.”

 

Through these initiatives, Active Re closed 2025 with an enhanced capital protection framework and a more scalable, control-oriented operating platform, reinforcing its ability to remain consistent throughout the reinsurance cycle while maintaining balance sheet stability and pursuing selective growth.
