Rating: A rating is an evaluation on a scale of the creditworthiness of a debtor (countries, companies, etc.) often carried out by a specialised rating agency. Also see Standard & Poor's.
Reinsurance: Reinsurance is when an insurance company insures a portion of its risk with another insurance company.
Retained Earnings: Retained earnings are the profits generated by the company that have not been distributed as dividends.
Return on equity: RoE measures the profitability of the Group by expressing the result before taxes as a ratio of the capital employed. This ratio is calculated by dividing the result before taxes and non-controlling interests by the average shareholders’ equity. Shareholders’ equity adjusted for a provision for unrealised gains and losses is used for this purpose.
