What’s in it for me (WIIFM)?
- Better understanding of how the second pillar of Swiss Re’s business operates and its challenges in a context of M&A.
- Opportunity to expand your network and connect with colleagues from teams involved in transactions to explore opportunities which may arise out of M&As
Create value by applying the findings so far. Implement what you have learned. Recommended on-the-job assignments:
- Use learnings of Asia Virtual Finance Week to originate/work on a transaction opportunity by developing a better understanding of insurers financial KPIs, identifying their current financial challenges and to test whether these challenges would lead to M&A opportunity where Swiss Re can help with its reinsurance solutions.
- Try to identify solutions of possible road-blocks and reach out to one of the transaction XFT colleagues to brainstorm ideas and/solutions that Swiss Re can help them with.
- Stay informed about the past transactions in your region, discuss about the key issues/ problems that transaction teams had and try to find ways in which they could have been tackled differently.
