First All-Canadian Reinsurer

Proud of our rich history

Farm Mutual Re

We are continually improving and innovating to advance the mutual insurance community.

Our Beginning

In the early 1950s during the post-war boom when construction was at a record level and building values were rapidly increasing, the demand for higher coverage limits was becoming challenging for small farm mutuals. Farm Mutual Reinsurance Plan Inc. was formed to facilitate the transactions involved in getting reinsurance coverage for these Ontario mutuals and improve cost-effectiveness.
