Pool Re is the insurance industry’s mutual for reinsuring terrorism risk in Great Britain and an Arm’s Length Body of HM Treasury (HMT). It exists to protect Britain’s economy and safeguard society and livelihoods from acts of terrorism. 

Pool Re offers commercial property reinsurance cover for losses caused by terrorism on an “All Risks” basis, including chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear (CBRN), damage caused by remote digital interference and non-damage business interruption. It offers a financial safety net for more than £2 trillion of assets belonging to businesses of all sizes. 

Pool Re has a reserve fund built up over 30 years by investing insurers’ premium contributions in preparation for the unthinkable. Pool Re is also backed by an unlimited HMT loan facility which underpins its work to support the resilience of the British economy.
