Swiss Re Management Efficiency

Swiss Re's management efficiency ratios could be used to measure how well Swiss Re manages its routine affairs as well as how well it operates its assets and liabilities.
The company has accumulated 10.88 B in total debt with debt to equity ratio (D/E) of 0.86, which is about average as compared to similar companies. Swiss Re AG has a current ratio of 0.39, indicating that it has a negative working capital and may not be able to pay financial obligations in time and when they become due. Debt can assist Swiss Re until it has trouble settling it off, either with new capital or with free cash flow. So, Swiss Re's shareholders could walk away with nothing if the company can't fulfill its legal obligations to repay debt. However, a more frequent occurrence is when companies like Swiss Re AG sell additional shares at bargain prices, diluting existing shareholders. Debt, in this case, can be an excellent and much better tool for Swiss to invest in growth at high rates of return. When we think about Swiss Re's use of debt, we should always consider it together with cash and equity.
