What Lockton Re does

Lockton Re is the reinsurance division of Lockton, the world's largest privately held independent insurance brokerage. Operating from its headquarters at The St. Botolph Building in London under FCA authorization, Lockton Re provides reinsurance placement, advisory, and capital solutions to insurance and reinsurance clients globally through its relationship-based enterprise field sales motion. The company is part of a privately held group founded in 1966 that reported approximately $4.5 billion in FY2026 global revenue, with 12% year-over-year growth and 11% organic growth — the sixth consecutive year of double-digit organic growth.

The company's core product set centers on full-service reinsurance brokerage, supplemented by the Lockton Re SAGE proprietary analytics platform (with associated registered patents) and the Agentforce 360 Platform — Salesforce's agentic AI platform deployed via a Synechron partnership, enabling autonomous AI agents to reason, decide, and act across the global Salesforce enterprise environment. Revenue is generated primarily through commissions on reinsurance placements and fees for advisory services around reinsurance and capital needs, with pricing structured on a quote-based, not-publicly-disclosed basis.

Strategically, Lockton Re has prioritized geographic and product-line expansion: it launched a dedicated Insurance-Linked Securities (ILS) Platform for Brazil in 2025 via locally licensed Special Purpose Securitization Entities (SSPE), secured a reinsurance licence in Saudi Arabia with the appointment of Mohammed Al Rowais as CEO for Reinsurance, and continues to invest in proprietary analytics and agentic AI capabilities. As a privately held entity with no disclosed funding rounds or external institutional investors, Lockton Re's growth has been funded organically, supported by sustained double-digit organic revenue compounding at the parent level.
