Frequently asked questions
How is Malaysian Reinsurance Berhad related to MNRB Holdings and PNB?
Malaysian Re is a wholly-owned subsidiary of MNRB Holdings Berhad, a publicly listed Malaysian financial services holding company. MNRB Holdings is in turn controlled by Permodalan Nasional Berhad, Malaysia's sovereign-linked fund manager, giving Malaysian Re implicit sovereign backing and a mandate to support the domestic insurance ecosystem.
What lines of reinsurance does Malaysian Re underwrite?
The firm provides treaty and facultative reinsurance across property, engineering, marine, aviation and transit, and motor lines. It writes both proportional and non-proportional structures, functioning as the primary domestic risk-transfer mechanism for Malaysia's general insurers.
Does Malaysian Re participate in the Takaful market?
Yes. Malaysian Re is a member of the Malaysian Takaful Association, indicating engagement with the Islamic insurance sector alongside its conventional reinsurance book. This positions the firm to capture the growing demand for Shariah-compliant risk-transfer capacity in the region.
Where is Malaysian Re's capital deployed outside of underwriting?
The firm maintains an investment portfolio described as conservative, anchored in Malaysian fixed-income instruments. Its major commercial real estate holding is Bangunan Malaysian Re, the company's headquarters tower in the Damansara Heights financial district of Kuala Lumpur.
What is Malaysian Re's geographic underwriting footprint?
While Malaysian Re's core portfolio is domestic Malaysian risk, its memberships in the East Asian Insurance Congress and the Federation of Afro-Asian Insurers and Reinsurers suggest it participates in pan-Asian and Afro-Asian reinsurance placements, primarily on a follow-capacity basis rather than leading international treaties.
