Q1. What Property Limits can Gen Re Provide?

Our maximum capacity at a single location will vary depending on a number of factors including occupancy, perils, attachment, protection and level of risk management. To find out how much we can reinsure on your particular risk, complete and send a submission form or contact an underwriter to discuss. You can contact one of our property underwriters by clicking on the name of a specialist on one of the Property Specialist pages, or you can use the Contact Us link to send us an email. If you know the name of the underwriter you want to talk with, you can find his or her phone number by using the Global List of Risk Takers link.
