2 Market potential & outlook
25% of world population is Muslim (1.5 bn people). In addition, Takaful is also an attractive solution to non-Muslims.
Market premium written in Muslim countries (2010): USD 73bn.
Islamic insurance premium (2010): USD 3.2 bn (takaful) + USD 4.0bn (cooperative model – KSA) + USD 5.1bn (conventional insurance within Islamic financial system): Total: USD 12.3bn.
Low level of insurance penetration compared to other emerging markets.
Population of Muslim countries are rapidly growing; favourable demographics.
Increasing Islamic consciousness.
Growth of Takaful has been exceptional over past four years (almost 30% p.a.) & is expected to continue in same way.
Until 2015 Takaful contribution could surpass USD 7bn.

3 Retakaful at Swiss Re
SR has been offering Family (L&H) Retakaful solutions to clients in the Middle East since 2006.
As a sign of our clear commitment to Islamic insurance we have opened a dedicated Retakaful operation in Kuala Lumpur (Malaysia) in 2009 which enables Swiss Re to offer Family and General (P&C) Retakaful solutions to Takaful operators worldwide
Swiss Re Retakaful is a branch of Swiss Re Zurich and has the same rating as the parent company i.e. “A+” by S& P, “A1”by Moody’s and “A” by A.M. Best.
We are about to set up the retakaful solution for property fac. risks via Swift Re for a Takaful client in South Africa.
We are setting up a global high risk/high limit fund for facultative risks.

3 Characteristics of the Wakalah-Waqf Model
Initial donation to set up fund: USD 5’500/MYR 20’000
Swiss Re has set up various funds based on geographical location and lines of business covered.
Waqf agreement:
1. Application to become member of fund
2. Acceptance as member of fund
3. Fund rules (same for all members)
4. Applicable wording (Retakaful Agreement): General/Special Conditions
Swiss Re’s commitment to the fund:
1. To ensure that overall results are not influenced by large individual negative results
2. In case there are insufficient funds to pay claims, Swiss Re will provide an interest free loan (Qard)
Swiss Re’s Wakalah-Waqf model has been accepted by Accounting and Auditing Organization for Islamic Financial Institutions (AAOIFI), the National Shari’a Advisory Council (SAC) of Bank Negara Malaysia, and National Syariah Council, Indonesia.
Wakalah-Waqf model is used in Pakistan, South Africa and the Middle East
10
3 Characteristics of the Wakalah-Waqf Model
Investment of fund in Shari'a compliant relatively liquid assets investment income will remain part of fund: SR does not get share of investment income
Operator is paid a fee (Wakalah fee) out of the Waqf fund
All contracts ending in the same financial year of the Operator are pooled together to calculate the surplus
Surplus given back to participant is apportioned between participants in relation to their surplus contribution (i.e. based on technical result)
No incentive fee for the Operator
Same operating model used worldwide.
Swiss Re Retakaful ensures complete Shari’a compliance through:
– No conventional retrocession
– Only Takaful business ceded into the funds
Challenges in retakaful
No global regulatory framework
Diversity of industry practises
Recent lack of growth of business
Price pressure from cedent companies
How to handle large commercial risks
