A stronger financial backbone for brokers - Renasa’s strategic focus is clear: brokers must feel confident placing bigger, more complex risks with Renasa. The upgraded rating supports exactly that. TIH’s capital support and systemic integration are now formally reflected in the uplift recognised by GCR, giving brokers and clients even greater assurance of Renasa’s ability to pay claims, even in high-severity scenarios.

“Being part of TIH means we have the financial muscle to support our brokers in new segments and larger risks,” Herman explains. “Brokers can write bigger, more complex commercial cases knowing there is depth behind us, both financially and operationally.”

This is particularly critical in a market where commercial clients face rising costs, greater risk volatility, and growing concerns about insurer resilience. Renasa’s strengthened position means brokers can negotiate more competitive terms, offer improved value, and rely on a claims process backed by one of the most robust supply-chain ecosystems in the industry.

Put simply: the broker’s best friend just became an even safer bet.

Holding onto the “Renasa way” - Despite the scale of the TIH ecosystem, Herman is adamant that Renasa’s human-centred broker model remains non-negotiable. “Our brokers and underwriting managers operate in a relationship-based environment,” he says. “That is our DNA. The support structures may have modernised, but our accessibility, responsiveness, and willingness to engage personally, that has not changed and will not.”  

As Renasa evolves, emboldened by its rating upgrade, the focus remains on preserving the independent value it delivers to brokers, in turn supporting the independence of these brokers. Foundations in business, Herman argues, are never static, they must be continually reinforced, which he is committed to driving

A quiet transition that speaks volumes - Perhaps the most remarkable part of Renasa’s journey is how little noise accompanied it. No staff disruption. No client upheaval. No reputational turbulence. Just a deliberate, disciplined, and well-executed transition into a stronger, more capable organisation.

“We kept our identity, gained new capabilities, and kept our brokers at the heart of everything,” Herman reflects. “This rating upgrade is just one more signal that the strategy is working.”  

For the brokers who rely on Renasa, and for the clients who rely on them, the message is clear: Renasa is stronger, safer, and better positioned than ever to be the broker’s best friend.
