The reinsurer also announced plans to exit the iptiQ business, a digital white-label platform, following a comprehensive review. 

Commenting on iptiQ, Swiss Re’s group CEO Christian Mumenthaler said: “The market environment today is vastly different from the one when iptiQ was created. Given these changed conditions and Swiss Re’s strategic priorities, we have concluded we are not the best owners of this business going forward.” 

For full year 2024, the reinsurance company is targeting net income of $3.6bn.  

Swiss Re group CFO John Dacey said: “The transition to IFRS from US GAAP represents an excellent opportunity to demonstrate the economic value of our businesses. The IFRS framework is also more closely aligned with how we steer the company internally and brings to the fore the earnings power of our leading life & health reinsurance franchise.”
