Swiss Re's purchase of Zurich Life's closed book of business marks both the first time that its Admin Re service has operated outside the US and the first time it has done business in the UK.

At a cost of $240m, Swiss Re will take charge of Zurich Life's 225,000 policies and place them under the Admin Re banner. The deal is expected to be finalised by the end of 2003.

Zurich Life stopped accepting new business at the end of August this year, as the company announced that the deal with Swiss Re was part of its drive to reduce expenses, strengthen its capital reserves and grow new business. Computer Sciences Corporation will act as a third-party administrator, dealing with areas such as customer billing.

Admin Re is a service and is not a separate group within the company.

Swiss Re uses it to acquire closed blocks of in-force life and health insurance business, either through acquisition or reinsurance, and then carry out the administration of the underlying policies.
