In London we offer brokers and clients access to the FSA authorised ACE European Group Limited and the Lloyd’s reinsurance market through a division of ACE’s Lloyd’s Syndicate 2488. Our ACE Tempest Re Zurich office, established in September 2005, provides cover directly to continental European brokers and clients through ACE Insurance (Switzerland) Limited, a Swiss insurance company formed in 2008. The Shanghai office operates through a division of Lloyd's Reinsurance Company (China) Limited and provides cover to Chinese brokers and clients.  All our ACE Tempest Re operations remain committed to working with clients and brokers to create products that are of genuine value and that enable our customers to meet their business goals.

ACE Tempest Re Europe champions a rational approach to risk assessment and pricing, with an emphasis on actuarial modeling and lateral thinking. The company provides significant risk capacity; underlying exposure information is used to thoroughly evaluate the risks. To achieve this, we work with clients and brokers, providing transparent feedback of analysis and modeling, and an understanding of pricing. Our goal is to equitably share risk and reward based on actuarial risk assessment.
