The Singapore Reinsurers' Association (SRA) was formed in 1979 with the main aim of facilitating and encouraging co-operation amongst all companies transacting reinsurance business in Singapore. As a trade association, the SRA collectively represents its members in matters affecting their interests in the reinsurance business and aims to upgrade reinsurance expertise in Singapore by promoting education and training in all aspects of the industry.

There are two classes of membership, namely Ordinary Membership for all companies licensed to transact reinsurance business in Singapore, and Associate Membership which is open to all organisations or individuals associated with or interested in the insurance and reinsurance business in Singapore or elsewhere. The Association's 11 founding members in 1979 were Cologne Re, Copenhagen Re, ICS Re, Korean Re, London Guarantee Re, Munich Re, RMCA Re, SCOR, Skandia, Singapore Re and United Asia Re. Since then, membership has grown steadily to the present 17 Ordinary, 6 Associate and 1 Honorary members.

The Association's affairs are managed by an Executive Committee (EXCO) comprising up to ten representatives of Ordinary members, and headed by the Chairman. Mr A. A. Peerbhoy, who was then Principal Officer of London Guarantee Re, had the honour of being the Association's first Chairman. The present SRA EXCO is headed by Mr Christopher Ho Siow Soong of AXA Re Asia Pacific Pte Ltd.
