Marco seeks to provide a professional, well capitalised counterparty for insurers and reinsurers seeking run-off and other solutions”.
Dieter Wemmer, Marco Chairman, remarked “as a former seller of reserves to run-off companies, I appreciate the need for highly professional and well capitalised counterparties. The dynamics of the P&C industry beyond 2020’s challenges include the coming impact of InsurTech which will affect traditional business models and increase demand for efficient capital management solutions. Marco will position itself as a market with professionalism, integrity and sufficient capital to serve this demand”.
Marco’s Insurance Company Board (iNEDs) will comprise -
- Chairman: Dieter Wemmer - ex-Group CFO Allianz SE, prior Group CFO Zurich. Currently UBS Board;
- Rolf Tolle - Lloyd’s first Franchise Board Director, currently QBE Board;

- Juanita Bencini - former KPMG Partner specialising in Risk. Currently serving on Boards of several insurers and a bank in Malta.
Marco strategy is to focus on P&C Run-Off business opportunities located in/emanating from Continental Europe, the UK and Lloyd’s of London by acquiring portfolios of non-life insurance loss reserves, through reinsurance structures - loss portfolio transfers (LPT), adverse development cover (ADC), Part VII Transfer or through purchasing entities.
