By leveraging our strong capitalisation and domestic presence, SRR is positioned to be the go-to reinsurance partner in today’s risk environment. The market response to our model has been highly positive. Our investors have already committed access to additional capital as early as the end of Q1 2025, allowing us to scale in response to demand.”
