History
Established in 2009, Antares Re is today a global reinsurance company based in Bermuda, with branch offices in Zurich and London. In its initial years, Antares Re focused on a range of classes in the MENA region and other African and Asian markets, complemented with business elsewhere in the world received from London. In 2013, Antares Re embarked on a strategic expansion, the aim being to build a leading and broadly diversified global reinsurer whose mission is to make the market place more diverse, efficient and entrepreneurial. The branch in Switzerland, established in 2013 marked the start of this process. The move of the head office to Bermuda in 2015 positioned Antares Re closer to its US client base.
