Rather than operating as a traditional venture capital fund with a fixed investment thesis, RGAx seeks out opportunities that offer mutual benefits, providing capital alongside RGA's extensive industry expertise, global network, and access to market. This approach allows RGAx to support its portfolio companies not just financially but also through strategic guidance and potential commercial partnerships, fostering innovation that can be integrated into the broader insurance ecosystem.
