Aon creates global accident, health and life reinsurance business

Aon has created a global accident, health and life practice group in its reinsurance solutions business. It is chaired by Roger Smith, previously head of accident, health and life for EMEA in Aon’s reinsurance solutions business, who has worked at the firm for over 20 years.

The team will look to scale opportunities on a global basis, working closely with Aon’s property and casualty brokers.

Nick Frankland, UK CEO of Aon’s reinsurance solutions business and executive sponsor for the practice group, said: “Whether tackling evolving healthcare regimes, negotiating annuity deals to free up capital or managing unpredictable catastrophic events, we are ready to help insurers grow in a competitive environment and help them develop capital strategies to embrace emerging opportunities.”
