Archer by Marsh

A precise path forward for asset-intensive reinsurance.
Contact us

Launching and operating an asset-intensive reinsurance vehicle requires coordinated decisions across structure, regulation, actuarial analysis, capital, investments, governance, and ongoing management.

Archer by Marsh brings those capabilities together through one coordinated client experience: helping life and annuity insurers, reinsurers, asset managers, and capital providers move from strategy to launch and ongoing operation with greater clarity and control.

Who we work with

Archer supports organizations evaluating, establishing, or operating asset-intensive reinsurance vehicles. Our perspective comes from the clients and partners we support across:

Explore reinsurance structures as part of broader capital, risk, and growth strategies — with coordinated support from initial design through ongoing operation.

Participate in the life and annuity reinsurance ecosystem with an operating model designed to bring together the specialist capabilities required to establish and run a vehicle.

Establish, expand, or strengthen reinsurance operations with coordinated support across operating, actuarial, capital, risk, and governance requirements.

How we help

Define

Clarify the business objective, target market, structure, and operating requirements.

Design

Develop the vehicle, governance, capital, actuarial, investment, and operating model.

Establish

Coordinate entity formation, regulatory preparation, service provider mobilization, and launch readiness.

Operate and scale

Provide ongoing management and specialist services through a coordinated delivery model.

Structure is only one part of the challenge 

Successful launch and operation require choices across capital, regulation, actuarial design, investments, governance, infrastructure, and ongoing management.

Archer brings the component capabilities together around a single client agenda:

  • A faster path to launch: Coordinate structure, licensing, operating-model design, and implementation through a connected workplan.
  • One integrated team: Access complementary Marsh and Oliver Wyman capabilities without having to assemble and manage disconnected providers. 
  • Open-architecture flexibility: Build an approach around the client’s objectives, preferred partners, asset strategy, and target domicile rather than a one-size-fits-all model.
  • Governance and control: Establish clear governance, oversight, and decision processes designed for the complexity of the vehicle. Scalable ongoing support: Move from launch into repeatable operational, actuarial, financial, risk, and investment support as the business grows.

Frequently asked questions
