Derivatives are used by <strong>Munich</strong> <strong>Re</strong> to hedge against currency,<br />

interest-rate and other market-price risks. This is done at the <strong>Group</strong><br />

Disclosure of derivatives by balance sheet item<br />

companies within the framework of individual supervisory regulations<br />

and additional internal company directives. The risk of default<br />

is practically non-existent in the case of products traded on the stock<br />

exchange. Over-the-counter products, on the other hand, harbour a<br />

theoretical risk in the amount of the replacement costs. Therefore, in<br />

the <strong>Munich</strong> <strong>Re</strong> <strong>Group</strong>, only top-quality counterparties are selected<br />

for such transactions.<br />
