History

[edit]

General American Reinsurance, a reinsurance division formed in 1973 by General American Life Insurance Company (GA), was the forerunner to RGA.[6] By 1993, GA's reinsurance division had grown its life reinsurance in force to $114.7 billion.[7] General American acquired the life reinsurance business of National Reinsurance of Canada,[8] later renamed General American Life Reinsurance Company of Canada,[9] thereby establishing its first international office; the Canadian business became RGA Life Reinsurance Company of Canada after RGA's initial public offering (IPO).

Incorporated in 1992 in the state of Missouri,[10] Reinsurance Group of America, Incorporated (RGA) was formed as a holding company for GA's U.S. and Canadian reinsurance businesses. RGA was taken public by IPO in 1993 on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE: RGA), with General American retaining a 65% share.[11]

MetLife acquired General American in 2000, including its interest in RGA,[12] and after 8 years of ownership, MetLife spun RGA off to become a fully independent company.[13]
