The Global Reinsurance Forum (GRF) is composed of 13 leading global reinsurers; its main objective is to promote a stable, innovative and competitive worldwide reinsurance market. The members of the GRF, all private companies, are AXA XL, Everest Re, Gen Re, Hannover Re, Lloyd's, MAPFRE Re, Munich Re, Partner Re, Renaissance Re, RGA, SCOR, Swiss Re and Toa Re. The GRF secretariat is managed by The Geneva Association.
In support of its main objective, the GRF helps to define industry positions on regulatory, legal, tax, and accounting developments. It represents these positions in discussions with relevant regulatory and supervisory bodies (especially international ones). It works to advance understanding of the value of reinsurance to the economy, and encourages an open and fair international framework for the development of reinsurance markets.
The GRF regularly identifies a list of current barriers to trade that impinge the effective functioning of reinsurance markets.
