Frequently asked questions
Who owns PartnerRe?
PartnerRe is a wholly owned subsidiary of Covéa, a French mutual insurance group that completed its $9 billion all-cash acquisition of the firm in July 2022. Covéa is owned by its policyholders rather than public shareholders, making PartnerRe's ultimate governance structure a mutual model. Prior to Covéa, PartnerRe was briefly owned by Exor, the Agnelli family holding company, from 2016 to 2022.
Who runs investment decisions at PartnerRe?
PartnerRe does not publicly disclose a standalone Chief Investment Officer or break out the investment team from its broader executive roster. Jacques Bonneau serves as President and CEO, and Nicolas Burnet as CFO — the most senior executives overseeing the firm's balance sheet. The investment function operates with considerable autonomy given the firm's private ownership and the long-dated nature of its liabilities.
What is Almacantar and how is PartnerRe involved?
Almacantar is a London-based property investment and development platform in which PartnerRe is the controlling shareholder. The platform owns a concentrated portfolio of prime London assets including Centre Point, Marble Arch Place, Southbank Place, and CAA House. Co-investors alongside PartnerRe include Rolex Holding as a majority shareholder and Mousse Partners with an 11% stake, placing PartnerRe at the center of a co-investment circle that includes some of Europe's most private family capital.
How is PartnerRe related to the Agnelli family and Exor?
Exor, the Agnelli family investment company, was PartnerRe's majority owner from 2016 until selling to Covéa in July 2022. While Exor exited its controlling equity stake, the Agnellis continue to cooperate with PartnerRe through reinsurance sidecars and investment funds, maintaining an ongoing commercial relationship even after the ownership change.
What geographies does PartnerRe's investment portfolio cover?
The fixed-income portfolio is global, with significant exposure to US Treasuries, European sovereign and corporate credit, and agency mortgage-backed securities. The real estate portfolio is highly concentrated in central London through the Almacantar platform. PartnerRe maintains operational offices in Bermuda, Switzerland, Connecticut, Ireland, and Singapore, reflecting its underwriting footprint across North America, Europe, and Asia-Pacific.
