Reinsurance Group of America, Incorporated pays out 16.2% of earnings as dividends, a payout ratio classified as conservative (below 40%). That leaves a wide buffer between earnings and the dividend, supported by demand for life and health reinsurance products spanning term, critical illness, disability, and longevity coverage across a broad international client base. Reinsurance Group of America, Incorporated dividend safety benefits from this low payout floor, though the company's exposure to mortality, morbidity, and investment performance risks means an adverse claims environment could pressure earnings and, by extension, the dividend.
Reinsurance Group of America, Incorporated dividend history shows a CAGR of 13.7% per year from 2011 to 2025. Per-share payments grew from $0.60 to $3.64 over that window (2026 is a partial year and excluded from the growth calculation). The smallest annual increase in the window was 2.1% in 2021, which shows that even in a slow year, RGA did not freeze or cut its payment.
| Period | CAGR | From | To |
|---|---|---|---|
| 3-Year | +6.0% | $3.06 (2022) | $3.64 (2025) |
| 5-Year | +5.4% | $2.80 (2020) | $3.64 (2025) |
| 10-Year | +10.0% | $1.40 (2015) | $3.64 (2025) |
RGA fits growth-and-income investors who want dividend expansion rather than a high starting yield. The current yield of 1.49% is low (below 2%), and it sits above the 5-year average of 1.29%, which reflects recent price movement rather than a structural shift in payout policy. Sixteen consecutive years of dividend increases and a 13.7% annual growth rate are the defining characteristics here. The trade-off is straightforward: an investor gets a fast-growing dividend backed by a 16.2% payout ratio, but accepts a yield that delivers limited near-term income relative to higher-yielding alternatives in the financial sector.
