Letter to Shareholders
RenaissanceRe has evolved into a highly flexible partner, integrating our operating platform, product suite and capital structure in a way that allows us to provide industry-leading service and market-leading returns.
Kevin O’Donnell
President and Chief Executive Of?cer
Dear Shareholders,
In the business of managing risk, managing change is critical. It can determine a company’s long-term success or failure, as strengths of dynamic strategies and weaknesses of stagnant ones emerge over time.
2014 was a year when RenaissanceRe’s ability to read the market early, and lead the way in helping customers adjust to change, was brought into sharp focus. The tactical shifts we started to implement five years ago began to bear fruit as we continued to execute our strategic plan.
The “change” I am talking about is the steady but permanent shift we have witnessed in the reinsurance market for some years. We have seen unprecedented and rapid inflows of capital into the sector, changes in the needs and buying behavior of our clients, and increased prevalence of “non-aligned” underwriting.
However, there are many constants in how we manage our business. Our core operating philosophy of matching well-priced risk with the most ef?cient capital sources has been, and will continue to be, our north star through an evolving market. Managing multiple forms of capital has been core to our strategy for over 20 years, and so have underwriting judgment and risk management. But our

RenaissanceRe Holdings Ltd. 2014 Annual Report
Company is structured the way it is today because we have anticipated the dynamics of the market. RenaissanceRe has evolved into a highly flexible partner, integrating our operating platform, product suite and capital structure in a way that allows us to provide industry-leading service and market-leading returns. In 2014, we reinforced our position through several tactical and strategic actions.
Performance
In 2014, we generated net income of $510.3 million and an operating return on equity of 13.7%, increasing tangible book value per share, plus accumulated dividends, by 13.9%. Our combined ratio, the sum of our loss ratio and expense ratio, was 50.2% and we ended the year with over $4 billion of capital, not counting the capital we manage on behalf of private investors.
We continued to work diligently to expand both our assumed risk and capital activities. In November 2014, we announced the acquisition of Platinum Underwriters Holdings, Ltd. and the transaction closed on March 2, 2015. Through Platinum, we believe we will be able to serve a broader range of clients with a larger product suite and additional experienced underwriters. Platinum’s track record of underwriting discipline, excellent client service and the ability to adapt to changing market conditions was a natural fit with RenaissanceRe, and we have added meaningful new capabilities through the acquisition.
Matching risk with capital dynamically, we continued to calibrate our capital structure to best serve our clients and optimize returns to our shareholders. We bought back over $500 million of our common shares during 2014, and returned $300 million and $225 million to DaVinci shareholders during January 2014 and January 2015, respectively. We also renewed the Upsilon Fund to serve our clients with the collateralized reinsurance and retrocessional product. This was a market where it was important to pick our spots carefully. We withdrew capital from areas where we felt relative rewards were diminished and deployed capital where we were better rewarded. One of RenaissanceRe’s most important attributes is capital flexibility. This allows us to match capital to risk in real time and pursue new underwriting opportunities with the confidence that we can source the best form of capital to support them. In many ways, we made some of our most significant moves in 2014 to enhance risk-sourcing and capital management capabilities for the future.
A consistent approach
Consistency has been a hallmark of our Company through changing market conditions. In 2014, we remained true to our principles by ensuring that the risk we assumed was adequately priced on an individual basis but also resulted in a superior portfolio. We evaluate each risk on its economic merit before factoring in any benefit from diversification within a portfolio. It is worth remembering that some deals can appear to provide an adequate return when viewed in the context of an overall portfolio, but this measure alone is not enough to determine if a risk is good or bad. We have the benefit of seeing the majority of catastrophe risk placed annually, which gives us a window into our performance in every major market. Seeing all the available business, developing an ability to select the best business by forming a differentiated view of risk, and financing risk portfolios with efficient forms of capital are the fundamental building blocks of how RenaissanceRe outperforms the market.
It is also important to remain objective about risk. 2014 was the 9th consecutive year without a major hurricane hitting the U.S., an unprecedented stretch of time. Winning the lottery can result in a great retirement but I don’t know anyone who would characterize it as good retirement planning. Similarly, we don’t base our risk management on luck. We estimate that each year, the odds of a major hurricane hitting the U.S. is about 40%. 2014 was about ensuring that we could comfortably meet all potential obligations while providing the best service to our clients and shareholders over the long term, in the face of change.
The components of change
The market is clearly changing, in ways that are noticeable and others that are less obvious. I find it easiest to think of our industry, and characterize forces that are acting as agents of change, in terms of risk and capital.
Risk
Though price per unit of risk — and by extension, returns — have come under pressure, we believe long- term opportunities for disciplined and well-capitalized reinsurers remain attractive.
We continue to see reduced financial reward for taking catastrophe risk, caused in part by the abundance of the capital available to accept the risk. In the aggregate, the U.S. catastrophe market still produces an expected profit,

Letter to Shareholders (continued)
but in our traditional view of dividing the market into three broad categories: adequate, low and negative returns, the low-return category is increasing in relative size. Outside of the U.S., the negative-return category (that is, risk that is written at an expected loss) is growing.
In the casualty and specialty market, returns are declining as well. We have been impressed with insurers generally showing good underwriting discipline, but economics are declining largely due to increasing ceding commissions. It appears to us that some large reinsurance casualty underwriters are willing to accept the certainty of lower economics driven by rising expenses (ceding commissions paid to the cedant), because they feel comfortable that underlying rates are still adequate.
In addition, insurers worldwide are becoming more sophisticated about managing their own risk. This increased sophistication is a double-edged sword for the reinsurance market. More risk is retained in many instances, which means these companies seek less reinsurance support. On the positive side, insurers see value in stronger, smarter reinsurers who can offer an independent perspective on their risk. Our experience has been that sharing our view has led to stronger relationships. This, in turn, has created a dialogue that allows us to develop creative new products outside of our traditional property catastrophe offerings.
Many of the world’s biggest risks are still either retained or underinsured. Many of the world’s geographies have attractive long-term economic prospects, which will lead to more insurable risk coming to market. Our industry has ample capacity to address the threat of cyber risk, of flood, or of other underinsured perils. Throughout 2014, we worked with many clients to help them design cyber products and offered capital to support their efforts. More work needs to be done. The challenge with flood, along with other risks which have been housed in government insurance schemes, is that available coverage tends to be “one size fits all’ and not exposure-based. Underpricing leads to what amounts to a sizeable, hidden tax burden for all to cover the exposures of a relative few. I would rather see those needing the coverage pay the appropriate price, relying on the mechanisms and capabilities of the private insurance market. We will continue to work with our customers to accept emerging risk assuring that we, as their reinsurer, remain part of the solutions they develop for their customers. Moreover, RenaissanceRe is committed to working with all stakeholders to promote financial and physical resilience, and to enhance security for these perils.
Capital
Developments in capital have triggered some of the most fundamental and seismic shifts in the reinsurance industry in the last decade. The world has divided reinsurance capital into two major classes: “owned capital” and “third party capital”. Perhaps a more accurate way of thinking about capital is as being “aligned” or “non-aligned,” and the industry is still coming to terms with how to manage and work with non-aligned capital sources. We believe it is in investors’ best interest to have managers’ incentives aligned with their own. This should apply equally to the downside as well as the upside. We are seeing a growing number of “non-aligned” participants in today’s market.
To us, aligning interests with our investors is central to our stewardship of their capital. Our track record is one of treating investors as partners and looking out for their best interests, often through investing our own capital alongside our partners. By accepting capital continuously and allocating it to risk at market terms, other managers of capital are more like brokers that are paid a fee for simply following the market. Our approach of underwriting, selecting risk and constructing portfolios with “skin in the game” through a financial interest is a fundamentally different management approach.

RenaissanceRe Holdings Ltd. 2014 Annual Report
“New” capital
Capital is entering the market for different reasons today than in prior years. The early third party capital that came to the market entered to accept predominantly property catastrophe risk. This capital was interested in the sector because the spreads were large and the returns uncorrelated to other asset classes. The profile of investors we are seeing now has changed. The vast majority of third party capital on our books in 2006 came from hedge funds; today we have almost no capital from hedge funds. Much of the capital we see now previously found adequate returns in more traditional classes, such as fixed income. Hedge funds are less interested currently because of lower absolute returns in the sector; pension funds are increasingly interested because the relative returns from insurance look very good compared to other alternatives.
However hedge funds have not left the market altogether, and have devised a new generation of companies by developing the “hedge fund reinsurer”. This model focuses on tax benefits and cost efficiency through an aggressive investment approach, which assumes that earning higher returns on its asset portfolio allows it to charge less per unit of risk.
Although we have been leaders in bringing new types and sources of third party capital to our customers, we believe that high-risk premium refiects the higher risk of exposing the assets to a greater probability of loss. As an organization driven by underwriting performance, we have not subscribed to a model that requires outsized investment returns to provide claims-paying security to our clients over the long term.
Our role as a reinsurer
Today, reinsurers have to think more creatively about accumulating, managing and tranching risk, and finding appropriate capital. Over twenty years ago, when our portfolio was focused primarily on excess of loss property catastrophe reinsurance, we wrote a largely regional book of business. This was an efficient way for us to construct better portfolios than the market because we could select the layers and customers that we thought best fit our portfolio. Now, buyers
Our track record is one of treating investors as partners and looking out for their best interests, often through investing our own capital alongside our partners.
are aggregating coverages and we need to build our portfolios differently to refiect this. This often requires us to provide broader coverages then we did in the past.
When we started, equity capital was the most efficient form to put against risk. Being smart about managing and diversifying risk against a single pool of capital was sufficient to generate superior results. A net portfolio could look very similar to a gross portfolio and produce adequate returns. After 1998, we improved efficiency by adding a more robust ceding strategy. By the late 1990s, we were managing third party capital and by 2001, both DaVinci and Top Layer Re were established reinsurers in the market.
In the current environment, it is significantly more complicated to select and structure capital efficiently for the types of risk that are available. Just as we need to diversify our risk, we need to diversify our capital.
Executing against change
We view our job as a reinsurer to respond to our clients’ needs, and one of the outcomes of a shifting landscape has been our clients’ desire to be served more broadly and more deeply. This shift actually began a number of years ago. The pace has accelerated steadily since.

Letter to Shareholders (continued)
For RenaissanceRe, our goal has always been the same: to meet our clients’ needs by matching well-structured risk with efficient capital.
We began to articulate the benefits of broadening our access and diversification in 2009, the year we opened our Lloyd’s syndicate and started to build out our specialty book. This is a message we have underlined in each letter to shareholders since. We have continued along a deliberate path to balance our portfolio with non-catastrophe business and have steadily added talent to our team. Our specialty franchise has evolved from being largely opportunistic and operating out of one platform in Bermuda, to writing out of three platforms in Bermuda, London and the U.S. In 2014, we increased our capital commitment to specialty and concentrated on developing the scale of our new platforms, driven — as always — by our clients’ needs, and also by the conviction of the importance of bringing more capital to bear in more ways than ever.
That said, our core strategic goal to maintain our leadership in catastrophe reinsurance remains unchanged. While we recognize that the market has changed rapidly, property catastrophe is still a good business. Our actions through 2014 served to enhance our fiexibility to manage both our access to risk and the capital we match against that risk. I believe this is the model that others will increasingly emulate.
Our added focus today, in line with our trajectory over the last five years, is to extend diversification and to increase scale. The benefit of diversification, as we know, is that it lowers our
cost of capital and improves risk-adjusted returns across our entire portfolio. Scale provides us with more access and more fiexibility in the allocation of risks to different pools of capital.
The acquisition of Platinum
It is in this context that, at the end of 2014, we announced an agreement to acquire Platinum. As I described above, we began to balance our portfolio more deliberately with non-catastrophe business a number of years ago. This acquisition accelerates the growth of our U.S. casualty and specialty platform, as well as increasing ef ciencies in our property portfolio. It broadens our client and broker base as well as improving operating leverage and capital efficiency. It benefits our clients and we expect it to be accretive to our shareholders.
Platinum is a well-run and disciplined underwriting organization, which we believe is a good fit for us from a cultural and integration perspective. Our risk management systems and underwriting approach are aligned. We know the company well, having participated in Platinum’s IPO in 2002. Through the due diligence we performed, we gained comfort that Platinum’s reduction in written premium from a peak of $1.7 billion to around $500 million was based on proactive underwriting decisions, keeping the best business and declining the worst to create a smaller but very desirable portfolio. With larger buyers looking to cede multiple lines to a smaller group of large reinsurers, we will benefit from the increased scale, new skills and new lines of business that Platinum brings. I believe that our combined technology, underwriting experience and capital management expertise will make RenaissanceRe stronger, establishing us more firmly than ever as a leader in our markets.
Mergers can provide long-term and permanent benefits but only at the right time and at the right terms. With the Platinum acquisition, I believe we are fulfilling both of those criteria and I am grateful to the many people who worked extremely hard to make it happen.

RenaissanceRe Holdings Ltd. 2014 Annual Report
Thanks
I owe a deep debt of gratitude to the talented people who make up the RenaissanceRe team. The success of our Company ultimately comes from the dedication and professionalism of our entire employee base. I am grateful for the direction and expertise of our Board of Directors and the hard work of my Executive Committee.
At the end of the year, our Chief Administrative Of?cer, Peter Durhager, announced his departure from RenaissanceRe and Jeff Kelly took on the role of Chief Operating Officer, in addition to his role as Chief Financial Of?cer. I would like to thank Peter for his many contributions over his ten years with the Company. Jeff has significantly enhanced our ?nancial and strategic planning functions since joining in 2009. We look forward to his contributions in his expanded role.
During the year, Ross Curtis transitioned successfully from the Active Underwriter role in our Lloyd’s syndicate in London to the Group Chief Underwriting Officer role. From this seat, he will set our underwriting strategy and oversee all of our risk-taking initiatives. Bryan Dalton, a long-time RenaissanceRe employee with extensive underwriting experience, assumed the position of Active Underwriter. Both Bryan and Ross exemplify the depth of our internal talent and bring the expertise and leadership needed to steer RenaissanceRe through a rapidly evolving market.
Looking ahead
Going forward, we believe that customers — regardless of client segment — will want a reinsurer who makes a credible commitment to cover a wide range of their risks, over reasonably long time periods, at consistent, exposure-based prices. They will need a reinsurer who can provide large line sizes and excellent security, who can help them grow their business, and who works with them effectively to deliver solutions — reinsurance or capital-based.
Our challenge for 2015 and beyond will be to work with clients and brokers to develop new ways to match risk and capital, as their needs change. We will need to do so while remaining true to our culture and focused on leading the market through our superior relationships, superior risk selection and superior capital management.
2014 was a relatively benign year because all market participants — brokers, reinsurers, insurers — were profitable. As 2015 unfolds, the probability of all constituents repeating the feat will likely decrease as the market moves towards what I believe will be an increasingly competitive state. The pressure to be profitable will likely force more acquisitions, more consolidation and perhaps, ultimately, even rate increases. Opportunities will emerge, but they will need to be seized early. RenaissanceRe is ideally structured to respond quickly and efficiently. I am con?dent about our future.
In closing
All change has associated risk, but resisting change in an evolving world is a dangerous approach. For RenaissanceRe, our goal has always been the same: to meet our clients’ needs by matching well-structured risk with ef?cient capital. To achieve that, we adjust our tactics ahead of the market, while maintaining a core strategy that has served us well for more than twenty years. This, I believe, is what has allowed us to generate superior returns for our shareholders over time, and will drive our success in the future.
Sincerely,
Kevin J. O’Donnell
President and Chief Executive Of?cer

Message from the Chair
RenaissanceRe is well-positioned to continue to provide world- leading service to our clients and partners while generating long-term superior returns for our shareholders.
As Kevin described in his letter, 2014 was a year of signi?cant achievement for RenaissanceRe at a time of fundamental change in our sector. RenaissanceRe generated strong results in a highly competitive environment, continued to lead the market in structuring innovative capital and risk management solutions, and made important strategic progress through the successful and well-executed acquisition of Platinum. My fellow Directors and I commend both management and employee teams for their vision and their hard work.
On behalf of the Board, I would like to recognize the invaluable service of W. James MacGinnitie, who recently announced his retirement from the Board. Jim has served dutifully since 2000, bringing a breadth of business acumen, technical expertise and wisdom to the Board. In 2005, Jim assumed the role of our first non-executive Chair, and provided leadership and guidance at a critical time in the Company’s history. After his tenure as Chair, Jim continued to serve the Board and the Company, providing exceptional business and personal advice as RenaissanceRe met new strategic challenges and milestones. In addition, Jim provided vital support to me in the role. We all owe Jim a debt of gratitude.
I am also pleased, on behalf of the Board, to extend a warm welcome to William (“Bill”) F. Hagerty IV. Bill recently retired as Commissioner of Economic and Community Development and a member of the Cabinet of the State of Tennessee. Bill then rejoined Hagerty Peterson & Company, LLC, a private equity investment firm which he founded in 1996 and has since served as principal. Bill has served a number of public and private companies in senior executive leadership and board positions. Earlier in his career, from 1991-1993, Bill served in the White House as the Chief Economist of the President’s Council on Competitiveness. Bill’s distinguished business and government experience will be invaluable as we support management’s efforts to steer RenaissanceRe through a rapidly changing industry.
The Board of Directors is keenly focused on effective oversight of the Company’s strategic plan, as well as on fiduciary rigor. We are confident, from our ongoing assessment and evaluation of the team’s tactical plans and results, that RenaissanceRe is well-positioned to continue to provide world-leading service to our clients and partners while generating long-term superior returns for our shareholders. I would like to thank my colleagues on the Board for their insightful and dedicated service, the entire RenaissanceRe team for another excellent year, and you, our shareholders, for your ongoing support.
Sincerely,

Comments on Regulation G
In addition to the generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) financial measures set forth in this Annual Report, the Company has included certain non-GAAP financial measures in this Annual Report within the meaning of Regulation G. The Company has consistently provided these financial measurements in previous investor communications and the Company’s management believes that these measurements are important to investors and other interested persons, and that investors and such other persons benefit from having a consistent basis for comparison between years and for the comparison with other companies within the industry. These measures may not, however, be comparable to similarly titled measures used by companies outside of the insurance industry. Investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these non-GAAP measures in assessing the Company’s overall financial performance.
The Company uses “operating income (loss) available (attributable) to RenaissanceRe common shareholders” as a measure to evaluate the underlying fundamentals of its operations and believes it to be a useful measure of its corporate performance. “Operating income (loss) available (attributable) to RenaissanceRe common shareholders” as used herein differs from “net income (loss) available (attributable) to RenaissanceRe common shareholders,” which the Company believes is the most directly comparable GAAP measure, by the exclusion of net realized and unrealized gains and losses on investments from continuing and discontinued operations, net other-than-temporary impairments from continuing operations, the gain on sale of the Company’s ownership interest in ChannelRe Holdings Ltd. (“ChannelRe”), net unrealized losses on credit derivatives issued by entities included in investments in other ventures, under equity method and, commencing in 2013, also excludes net realized and unrealized gains and losses on investments-related derivatives. Prior to 2013, investments-related derivative net realized and unrealized gains and losses were included in net investment income and were also included in the calculation of operating income (loss) available (attributable) to RenaissanceRe common shareholders and related measures. The Company’s management believes that “operating income (loss) available (attributable) to RenaissanceRe common shareholders” is useful to investors because it more accurately measures and predicts the Company’s results of operations by removing the variability arising from fluctuations in the Company’s fixed maturity investment portfolio and equity investments portfolio, the gain associated with the sale of the Company’s ownership in ChannelRe and net unrealized losses on credit derivatives issued by entities included in investments in other ventures, under equity method. The Company also uses “operating income (loss) available (attributable) to RenaissanceRe common shareholders” to calculate “operating income (loss) available (attributable) to RenaissanceRe common shareholders per common share – diluted” and “operating return on average common equity”. The following is a reconciliation of: 1) net income (loss) available (attributable) to RenaissanceRe common shareholders to operating income (loss) available (attributable) to RenaissanceRe common shareholders; 2) net income (loss) available (attributable) to RenaissanceRe common shareholders per common share – diluted to operating income (loss) available (attributable) to RenaissanceRe common shareholders per common share – diluted; and 3) return on average common equity to operating return on average common equity:

The Company has also included in this Annual Report “gross managed premiums written” and “managed catastrophe premiums.” “Gross managed premiums written” differs from gross premiums written, which the Company believes is the most directly comparable GAAP measure, due to the inclusion of premiums written on behalf of the Company’s joint venture, Top Layer Reinsurance Ltd. (“Top Layer Re”), which is accounted for under the equity method of accounting. “Managed catastrophe premiums” is defined as gross catastrophe premiums written by Renaissance Reinsurance Ltd. and its related joint ventures. “Managed catastrophe premiums” differs from total Catastrophe Reinsurance segment premiums, which the Company believes is the most directly comparable GAAP measure, due to the inclusion of catastrophe premiums written on behalf of the Company’s joint venture Top Layer Re, which is accounted for under the equity method of accounting and the inclusion of catastrophe premiums written on behalf of the Company’s Lloyd’s segment. The Company’s management believes “gross managed premiums written” and “managed catastrophe premiums” are useful to investors and other interested parties because they provide a measure of total catastrophe reinsurance premiums assumed by the Company through its consolidated subsidiaries and related joint ventures. The following is a reconciliation of 1) total Catastrophe Reinsurance segment premiums to managed catastrophe premiums and 2) gross premiums written to gross managed premiums written:

The Company has also included in this Annual Report “tangible book value per common share” and “tangible book value per common share plus accumulated dividends.” “Tangible book value per common share” is defined as book value per common share excluding goodwill and intangible assets; “tangible book value per common share plus accumulated dividends” is defined as book value per common share excluding goodwill and intangible assets, plus accumulated dividends. “Tangible book value per common share” differs from book value per common share, which the Company believes is the most directly comparable GAAP measure, due to the exclusion of goodwill and intangible assets per share. “Tangible book value per common share plus accumulated dividends” differs from book value per common share, which the Company believes is the most directly comparable GAAP measure, due to the exclusion of goodwill and intangible assets per share and the inclusion of accumulated dividends. The Company’s management believes “tangible book value per common share” and “tangible book value per common share plus accumulated dividends” are useful to investors because they provide a more accurate measure of the realizable value of shareholder returns, by excluding the impact of goodwill and intangible assets. The following is a reconciliation of book value per common share to tangible book value per common share and tangible book value per common share plus accumulated dividends:
At December 31,

Assumed Risk. We define assumed risk as activities where we deliberately take risk against the Company’s capital base, including underwriting risks and other quantifiable risks such as credit risk and interest rate risk as they relate to investments, ceded reinsurance credit risk and strategic investment risk, each of which can be analyzed in substantial part through quantitative tools and techniques. Of these, we believe underwriting risk to be the most material to us. In order to understand, monitor, quantify and proactively assess underwriting risk, we seek to develop and deploy appropriate tools to, among other things, estimate the comparable expected returns on potential business opportunities, and estimate the impact that such incremental business could have on our overall risk profile. We use the tools and methods described above in “Underwriting” to seek to achieve these objectives. Embedded within our consideration of assumed risk is our management of the Company’s aggregate, consolidated risk profile. In part through the utilization of REMS© and our other systems and procedures, we seek to analyze our in-force aggregate assumed risk portfolio on a daily basis. We believe this capability helps us to manage our aggregate exposures, as well as to rigorously analyze individual proposed transactions and evaluate them in the context of our in-force portfolio. This aggregation process captures line of business, segment and corporate risk profiles, calculates internal and external capital tests and explicitly models ceded reinsurance. Generally, additional data is added quarterly to our aggregate risk framework to reflect updated or new information or estimates relating to matters such as interest rate risk, credit risk, capital adequacy and liquidity. This information is used in day-to-day decision making for underwriting, investments and operations and is also reviewed quarterly from both a unit level and in respect of our consolidated financial position. We also regularly assess, monitor and review our regulatory risk capital and related constraints.

(2)

Business Environment Risk.  We define this as the risk of changes in the business, political or regulatory environment that could negatively impact our short term or long-term financial results or the markets in which we operate. Accordingly, these risks are predominately extrinsic to the Company and in general, our ability to alter or eliminate these risks is limited. Rather, our efforts focus on monitoring developments, assessing potential impacts of any such changes, and investing in cost effective means to attempt to mitigate the consequences of and ensure compliance with any new requirements applicable to us.

(3)	Operational Risk. We are subject to a number of additional risks arising out of operational, regulatory, and other matters. We define operational risk to include the risk that we fail to create, manage, control or mitigate the people, processes, structures or functions required to execute our strategic and tactical plans and assemble an optimized portfolio of assumed risk, and to adjust to

---

---

(4)

Reserve Risk. We define reserve risk as the risks related to our reserve for net claims and claim expenses, including the amount, both absolute and relative, of our outstanding reserve for net claims and claim expenses, and the impact of economic, social, legal and regulatory matters. Our reserve for net claims and claim expenses is subject to significant uncertainty as a result of these factors, and others. Although reserve risk can increase in both the absolute, and relative to its overall consideration in our ERM framework, and will increase after the Merger in light of the reserves we will assume, we attempt to employ robust resources, procedures and technology to identify, understand, quantify and manage these risks. Our reserve for net claims and claim expenses will continue to be subject to significant uncertainty and has the potential to develop adversely in future periods.

•

Each Class 3A, Class 3B and Class 4 general business insurer is required to submit annual statutory financial statements as part of its statutory financial return no later than four months after the insurer’s financial year end (unless specifically extended). The annual statutory financial statements give detailed information and analyses regarding premiums, claims, reinsurance, reserves and investments. The statutory financial return includes, among other items: a report of the approved independent auditor on the statutory financial statements; a declaration of statutory ratios; a solvency certificate; the statutory financial statements themselves; the opinion of the approved loss reserve specialist; and details concerning ceded reinsurance.

•	In addition to preparing statutory financial statements, all Class 3A, Class 3B and Class 4 insurers must prepare financial statements in respect of their insurance business in accordance with GAAP, International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) or other acceptable accounting standards.

•

A general business insurer’s statutory assets must exceed its statutory liabilities by an amount, equal to or greater than the prescribed minimum solvency margin, which varies with the category of its registration and net premiums written and loss reserves posted (“Minimum Solvency Margin”). The Minimum Solvency Margin that must be maintained by a Class 4 insurer is the greater of (i) $100.0 million, or (ii) 50% of net premiums written (with a credit for reinsurance ceded not exceeding 25% of gross premiums) or (iii) 15% of net aggregate loss and loss expense provisions and other insurance reserves. The Minimum Solvency Margin for a Class 3A or Class 3B insurer is the greater of (i) $1.0 million, or (ii) 20% of the first $6.0 million of net premiums written; if in excess of $6.0 million, the figure is $1.2 million plus 15% of net premiums written in excess of $6.0 million, or (iii) 15% of net aggregate loss and loss expense provisions and other insurance reserves.

•

In addition, each Class 3A, Class 3B and Class 4 insurer must maintain its capital at a level equal to its enhanced capital requirement (“ECR”) which is established by reference to the Bermuda Solvency Capital Requirement (“BSCR”) model. Alternatively, under the Insurance Act, insurers may, subject to the terms of the Insurance Act and to the BMA’s oversight, elect to utilize an approved internal capital model to determine regulatory capital. In either case, the ECR shall at all times equal or exceed the respective Class 3A, Class 3B and Class 4 insurer’s Minimum Solvency Margin and may be adjusted in circumstances where the BMA concludes that the insurer’s risk profile deviates significantly from the assumptions underlying its ECR or the insurer’s assessment of its risk management policies and practices used to calculate the ECR applicable to it. While not specifically referred to in the Insurance Act, the BMA has also established a target capital level (“TCL”) for each Class 3A, Class 3B and Class 4 insurer equal to 120% of the respective ECR. While a Class 3A, Class 3B and Class 4 insurer is not currently required to maintain its statutory capital and surplus at this level, the TCL serves as an early warning tool for the BMA and failure to maintain statutory capital at least equal to the TCL will likely result in increased BMA regulatory oversight.

•	An insurer engaged in general business is required to maintain the value of its relevant assets at not less than 75% of the amount of its relevant liabilities (“Minimum Liquidity Ratio”).

•

Class 3A, Class 3B and Class 4 insurers are prohibited from declaring or paying any dividends if in breach of the required Minimum Solvency Margin or Minimum Liquidity Ratio (the “Relevant Margins”) or if the declaration or payment of such dividend would cause the insurer to fail to meet the Relevant Margins. Further, Class 3B and Class 4 insurers are prohibited from declaring or paying in any financial year dividends of more than 25% of its total statutory capital and surplus (as shown on its previous financial year’s statutory balance sheet) unless it files (at least seven days before payment of such dividends) with the BMA an affidavit stating that it will continue to meet its Relevant Margins. Class 3A, Class 3B and Class 4 insurers must obtain the BMA’s prior approval for a reduction by 15% or more of the total statutory capital as set forth in its previous year’s financial statements. These restrictions on declaring or paying dividends and distributions under the Insurance Act are in addition to the solvency requirements under the Companies Act which apply to all Bermuda companies.

•

Unlike other (re)insurers, SPIs are fully funded to meet their (re)insurance obligations and are not exposed to insolvency, therefore the application and supervision processes are streamlined to facilitate the transparent structure.  Further, SPIs are currently not required to file annual loss reserve specialist opinions and the BMA has the discretion to modify such insurer’s accounting requirements under the Insurance Act.  Like other (re)insurers, the principal representative of an SPI has a duty to inform the BMA in relation to solvency matters, where applicable. In December 2013, the BMA issued a notice in which it proposed to amend the statutory reporting requirements for SPIs. Under this notice, the BMA will likely require SPIs to submit additional schedules together with the existing statutory financial return. These enhanced filing requirements have not yet been finalized by the BMA.

•

The BMA maintains supervision over the controllers (as defined herein) of all Bermuda registered insurers. Currently, the Insurance Act states that no person shall become a controller of any description of a registered insurer unless the BMA has been served notice in writing stating that the person intends to become such a controller. A controller includes the managing director and chief executive of the registered insurer or its parent company; a 10%, 20%, 33% or 50% shareholder controller; and any person in accordance with whose directions or instructions the directors of the registered insurer or of its parent company are accustomed to act. In addition, all Bermuda insurers are also required to give the BMA written notice of the fact that a person has become, or ceased to be, a controller or officer of the registered insurer within 45 days of becoming aware of such fact. An officer in relation to a registered insurer includes a director, secretary, chief executive or senior executive by whatever name called.

•	All registered insurers are required to give the BMA 14 days’ notice of certain matters that are likely to be of material significance (each a “Material Change”) to the BMA in carrying out its supervisory function under the Insurance Act.

•

All Bermuda insurers are required to comply with the BMA’s Insurance Code of Conduct which establishes duties, requirements and standards to be complied with to ensure each insurer implements sound corporate governance, risk management and internal controls. Failure to comply with these requirements will be a factor taken into account by the BMA in determining whether an insurer is conducting its business in a sound and prudent manner under the Insurance Act.

•

Pursuant to the Insurance Act, the BMA acts as the group supervisor of the RenaissanceRe group of companies (the “RenaissanceRe Group”) and it has designated Renaissance Reinsurance to be the “designated insurer” in respect of the RenaissanceRe Group. The designated insurer is required to ensure that the RenaissanceRe Group complies with the provisions of the Insurance Act pertaining to groups and all related group solvency and group supervision rules (together, the “Group Rules”). Under the Group Rules, the RenaissanceRe Group is required to annually prepare and submit to the BMA group GAAP financial statements, group statutory financial statements, a group statutory financial return and a group capital and solvency return. Further, our Board of Directors has established solvency self assessment procedures for the RenaissanceRe Group that factor in all foreseeable material risks; Renaissance Reinsurance must ensure that the RenaissanceRe Group’s assets exceed the amount of the RenaissanceRe Group’s liabilities by the aggregate minimum margin of solvency of each qualifying member; and our Board of Directors has established and effectively implements corporate governance policies and procedures designed to ensure they support the overall organizational strategy of the RenaissanceRe Group.

•	Fair values determined by Level 1 inputs utilize unadjusted quoted prices obtained from active markets for identical assets or liabilities for which we have access. The fair value is determined by multiplying the quoted price by the quantity held by us;

•

Fair values determined by Level 2 inputs utilize inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 2 inputs include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, such as interest rates and yield curves that are observable at commonly quoted intervals, broker quotes and certain pricing indices; and

Level 3 inputs are based all or in part on significant unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, and include situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability. In these cases, significant management assumptions can be used to establish management’s best estimate of the assumptions used by other market participants in determining the fair value of the asset or liability.

Lower Underwriting Results - our underwriting income of $529.4 million in 2014 decreased $97.4 million from $626.7 million in 2013. The decrease in underwriting income was primarily driven by a $52.2 million decrease in net premiums earned due to a combination of lower gross premiums written during the preceding twelve months and an increase in ceded premiums written principally within our Catastrophe Reinsurance segment, a $19.0 million increase in acquisition expenses principally within our Specialty Reinsurance segment, and a $26.5 million increase in current accident year net claims and claim expenses. The increase in acquisition expenses and current accident year net claims and claim expenses was principally driven by the growth in our Specialty Reinsurance and Lloyd’s segments;

•

Lower Gross Premiums Written - our gross premiums written of $1,550.6 million decreased $54.8 million, or 3.4%, in 2014, compared to 2013, with the decrease principally driven by our Catastrophe segment which experienced a decrease of $186.4 million or 16.6%, partially offset by increases in our Specialty Reinsurance and Lloyd’s segments’ gross premiums written of $87.1 million or 33.6%, and $43.1 million or 19.0%, respectively; and

•

Lower Total Investment Result - our total investment result was $164.9 million in 2014, which includes the sum of net investment income, net realized and unrealized gains on investments, and the change in net unrealized gains on fixed maturity investments available for sale, compared to $235.1 million in 2013. The decrease in total investment result was primarily driven by our investment in Essent Group Ltd. (“Essent”), which resulted in $6.7 million of net realized and unrealized gains in 2014, compared to $92.4 million of net unrealized gains in 2013, a decrease of $85.7 million.

•

Improved Underwriting Results - our underwriting income of $626.7 million in 2013 increased $175.3 million from $451.5 million in 2012 and was positively impacted by a decrease in net claims and claim expenses of $153.9 million, principally due to lower insured losses in respect of large events. Included in underwriting income for 2013 was $22.9 million and $12.7 million of underwriting losses related to the May 2013 U.S. Tornadoes and the European Floods. In comparison, Storm Sandy and Hurricane Isaac resulted in $149.1 million and $26.3 million of underwriting losses in 2012, respectively. Favorable development on prior accident years was $144.0 million in 2013, compared to $158.0 million in 2012, primarily driven by the Catastrophe Reinsurance segment, as discussed further below; partially offset by

Net Income Attributable to Noncontrolling Interests - our net income attributable to noncontrolling interests was $151.1 million in 2013, compared to $148.0 million in 2012, an increase of $3.1 million and was primarily due to our noncontrolling economic ownership percentage in DaVinciRe decreasing to 27.3% at December 31, 2013, compared to 30.8% at December 31, 2012, resulting in an increase in the portion of DaVinciRe’s net income attributable to noncontrolling interests.

net unrealized gains on our fixed maturity investments trading improved $107.5 million, to $19.7 million in 2014, from net unrealized losses of $87.8 million in 2013, and was positively impacted by a reshaping of the yield curve which experienced decreasing rates in longer dated maturities, as compared to short and intermediate term maturities during 2014, compared to the significant steepening of the yield curve that occurred in 2013. This was partially offset by a decrease of $62.0 million in net realized and unrealized losses on investments-related derivatives, to a loss of $30.9 million in 2014, from a gain of $31.1 million in 2013, which was conversely impacted by the factors noted above in 2014, compared to 2013; and

•

a decrease in net unrealized gains on equity investments trading of $31.8 million, and a decrease in net realized gains on equity investments trading of $15.7 million in 2014, compared to 2013, principally driven by weaker returns in the public equity markets during 2014, compared to 2013. Also impacting net unrealized and realized gains on investments was our investment in Essent, which resulted in net realized and unrealized gains of $6.7 million during 2014, compared to $35.5 million of unrealized gains during 2013.

•	an increase in unearned premiums of $34.5 million due to the timing of our gross premiums written;

•	a decrease in premiums receivable of $34.1 million due to the decrease in gross premiums written and a decrease in reinsurance balances recoverable of $34.3 million driven principally by cash receipts of certain recoverables;

•	a decrease in net claims and claim expenses of $151.2 million as a result of $379.8 million in paid claims offset by $228.6 million of net incurred claims and claim expenses;

•	an increase of $28.7 million in our prepaid reinsurance premiums due to the increase and timing of our gross premiums ceded; and

•	an increase in deferred acquisition costs of $28.4 million, due to the relative increase in the percentage of quota share reinsurance, compared to excess of loss reinsurance, as a percentage of total gross premiums written within the Specialty Reinsurance segment, as quota share reinsurance typically carries a higher acquisition expense ratio, compared to excess of loss reinsurance.

Changes in the overall interest rate environment can expose us to “prepayment risk” on our mortgage-backed investments. When interest rates decline, consumers will generally make prepayments on their mortgages and, as a result, our investments in mortgage-backed securities will be repaid to us more quickly than we might have originally anticipated. When we receive these prepayments, our opportunities to reinvest these proceeds back into the investment markets will likely be at reduced interest rates. Conversely, when interest rates increase, consumers will generally make fewer prepayments on their mortgages and, as a result, our investments in mortgage-backed securities will be repaid to us less quickly than we might have originally anticipated. This will increase the duration of our portfolio, which is disadvantageous to us in a rising interest rate environment.

•	Our investments in mortgage-backed securities are also subject to default risk. This risk is due in part to defaults on the underlying securitized mortgages, which would decrease the market value of the investment and be disadvantageous to us. Similar risks apply to other asset-backed securities in which we may invest from time to time.

•	Our investments in debt securities of other corporations are exposed to losses from insolvencies of these corporations, and our investment portfolio can also deteriorate based on reduced credit quality of these corporations. We are also exposed to the impact of widening credit spreads even if specific securities are not downgraded.

•	Our investments in asset-backed securities are subject to prepayment risks, as noted above, and to the structural risks of these securities. The structural risks primarily emanate from the priority of each security in the issuer’s overall capital structure. We are also exposed to the impact of widening credit spreads.

•

Within our other investments category, we have funds that invest in non-investment grade fixed income securities as well as securities denominated in foreign currencies. These investments expose us to losses from insolvencies and other credit-related issues. We are also exposed to fluctuations in foreign exchange rates that may result in realized losses to us if our exposures are not hedged or if our hedging strategies are not effective and also to widening of credit spreads.

Includes contractual interest payments. If the closing of the acquisition of Platinum occurs, our aggregate indebtedness will increase by $550.0 million, consisting of $250.0 million of publicly traded notes currently outstanding at Platinum, which will remain outstanding following the close of the Merger, and $300.0 million of short term alternative financing used to fund part of the cash component of the aggregate consideration for the Merger. If the closing of the acquisition of Platinum occurs, we intend to issue $300.0 million of debt to replace the short term alternative financing used to fund part of the cash consideration to be paid by RenaissanceRe. For more details on our indebtedness, see “Part II, Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, Capital Resources.” Although, there can be no assurance that RenaissanceRe will be able to secure adequate sources of financing on favorable terms, it is anticipated the debt noted above will come due in the more than five years category.

(2)	The private equity and investment commitments do not have a defined contractual commitment date and we have therefore included them in the less than one year category.

(3)

We caution the reader that the information provided above related to estimated future payment dates of our reserves for claims and claim expenses is not prepared or utilized for internal purposes and that we currently do not estimate the future payment dates of claims and claim expenses. Because of the nature of the coverages that we provide, the amount and timing of the cash flows associated with our policy liabilities will fluctuate, perhaps significantly, and therefore are highly uncertain. We have based our estimates of future claim payments upon benchmark industry payment patterns, drawing upon available relevant sources of loss and allocated loss adjustment expense development data. These benchmarks are revised periodically as new trends emerge. We believe that it is likely that this benchmark data will not be predictive of our future claim payments and that material fluctuations can occur due to the nature of the losses which we insure and the coverages which we provide. If the closing of the Merger with Platinum occurs, our aggregate reserves for claims and claim expenses will increase significantly as we will consolidate Platinum’s reserve for claims and claim expenses as of the closing date of the Merger.  At December 31, 2014, Platinum had $1.4 billion in reserves for claims and claim expenses.

The agreement has been unanimously approved by both companies’ Board of Directors and, if approved by Platinum shareholders, the transaction is expected to close on March 2, 2015. The aggregate consideration for the transaction is expected to be approximately $1.9 billion.  The Company will account for the acquisition of Platinum under the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 805 Business Combinations, under which the total consideration paid will be allocated among acquired assets and assumed liabilities based on the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed.  The Company anticipates that the purchase price paid will exceed the fair value of the net assets acquired, perhaps significantly so, and the excess will be accounted for as goodwill.  Intangible assets with definite lives will be amortized over their estimated useful lives.  Goodwill resulting from the acquisition of Platinum will not be amortized but instead will be tested for impairment at least annually (more frequently if certain indicators are present). There can be no assurance that the Merger will occur. Refer to “Note 20. Commitments, Contingencies and Other Items”, for more information with respect to the Merger.

•	Fair values determined by Level 1 inputs utilize unadjusted quoted prices obtained from active markets for identical assets or liabilities for which the Company has access. The fair value is determined by multiplying the quoted price by the quantity held by the Company;
