Swiss Re has reported a net profit of $643m in Q1 2023, compared with a loss of $248m a year earlier.
The swing to a net profit was aided by higher prices and improved investment results. Analysts had expected a profit of $606 million, according to a consensus forecast.
The company's return on investments was 2.8%, up from 0.7% a year earlier.
"The first-quarter results demonstrate the resilience of all our main businesses," CEO Christian Mumenthaler said.
