Smartt Re. Reinsurance broker

What Smartt Re. Reinsurance broker does

Smartt Re sp. z o.o. is a Warsaw-headquartered reinsurance broker founded in September 2007 and operating as a subsidiary of MJM Holdings. Since 2024, MJM Holdings has been majority-owned by private equity firm Corsair Capital. The firm arranges both facultative and obligatory reinsurance programs through six vertical specializations: Energy and Chemicals, Aviation and Space Industry, Maritime Industry, Financial and Specialized Risks, Property Risks, and Obligatory Contracts, complemented by an in-house claims handling function. Its client base is primarily Polish insurance companies, large corporates, and State Treasury entities, with placements executed via direct enterprise relationships and international road-shows to a network of global reinsurers.

The business model is B2B professional services, earning brokerage commissions on premiums placed with international reinsurers. Pricing is negotiated on a per-program basis given the bespoke nature of large facultative and treaty placements, and is not publicly disclosed. There is no proprietary technology platform; the company's competitive position rests on the expertise of its senior brokers, many of whom were recruited from PZU, Munich Re, Chubb, Hannover Re, Willis Towers Watson, and AIG, and on the cross-sell synergies available through its sister company Attis Broker within the MJM Holdings group.

The company employs approximately 21 staff and reports a registered share capital of PLN 3,054,000. Distribution is exclusively direct enterprise field sales; marketing is limited to a corporate website (smarttre.pl) and participation in industry events. Compliance posture includes GDPR alignment, a dedicated Data Protection Officer, a complaints process, and a whistleblower channel, consistent with EU insurance distribution regulation.

Broad incumbents

• Howden Broking Group: Global insurance and reinsurance intermediary with growing European specialty practice; competes for the same complex facultative placements but operates at much greater scale across multiple lines.

Direct peers

• Ed Broking: Independent Lloyd's broker placing complex facultative reinsurance and specialty risks; comparable to Smartt Re in its focus on complex, large-line placements rather than commoditized treaty business.
• Willis Re (WTW): Reinsurance arm of WTW, a global reinsurance broker with deep expertise in specialty lines (aviation, marine, energy); directly comparable to Smartt Re's specialty facultative and treaty offering.
• BMS Group: Independent insurance and reinsurance broker operating across facultative, treaty and specialty lines; comparable to Smartt Re as a mid-sized specialist intermediary competing on expertise rather than scale.
• Aon Reinsurance Solutions: Reinsurance brokerage division of Aon, one of the largest global reinsurance intermediaries offering facultative and treaty placement; competes with Smartt Re for complex international placements from Polish and CEE cedents.
• RPS (Ryan Specialty): Specialty insurance and reinsurance intermediary with strong facultative and treaty capabilities across complex risks; comparable to Smartt Re in placement of non-standard risks for cedents.
• Guy Carpenter: Marsh McLenna's reinsurance brokerage arm and the global market leader in facultative and treaty reinsurance placement, directly comparable to Smartt Re's core intermediary function across complex P&C lines.
• Miller Insurance Services: Independent specialist insurance and reinsurance intermediary with expertise across energy, marine and aviation; comparable to Smartt Re's specialty facultative broking model and client base.

Regional players

• Polish Re (Polskie Towarzystwo Reasekuracji): Polish professional reinsurer historically serving as a key domestic reinsurance capacity provider; adjacent rather than directly competing, as it acts as a carrier whose risks Smartt Re sometimes helps place.

Others

• Attis Broker: Sister company within MJM Holdings providing direct insurance brokerage; not a direct reinsurance competitor but the closest operational peer within the parent group, sharing clients and back-office resources with Smartt Re.
