The transaction has been carried out through Talanx subsidiary HDI International.

Talanx management board member and HDI International CEO Dr Wilm Langenbach said: “We are delighted over the quick and successful closing of the transaction in Brazil. This is a first decisive step in breaking into the top two P&C [property and casualty] insurers in Latin America.
