     o    Annualized Net Income ROE of 23%; Annualized Operating ROE of 18%
     o    Book Value per Share of $38.98, a 10% increase in the Second Quarter

PEMBROKE, Bermuda, August 4, 2003 -- PartnerRe Ltd. (NYSE:PRE) today reported
record results for the second quarter and first half of 2003.

PartnerRe President & Chief Executive Officer, Patrick Thiele, commented, "We
had an exceptional second quarter. In addition to setting a new record for
operating income, we continued to achieve significant levels of written premium
and book value growth, clearly indicating that we are benefiting from both our
operating strategies and the current attractive market conditions."

For the three months ended June 30, 2003, net income was $121.9 million, or
$2.00 per share on a fully diluted basis. Net income includes a net after-tax
realized gain on investments of $23.1 million or $0.43 per share. This
quarter's per share result includes one-time preferred share charges of $9.6
million or $0.18 per share relating to the issuance of new Series C Preferred
Shares and redemption of the Series A Preferred Shares. The Company also began
recognizing compensation expense relating to its stock incentive plans under
the fair-value method of Financial Accounting Standard No. 123 "Accounting for
Stock-Based Compensation" (FAS 123). This added $1.1 million or $0.02 per share
to operating expenses during the second quarter. Net income for the second
quarter of 2002, including a net after-tax realized loss on investments of $9.7
million or $0.19 per share, was $66.6 million or $1.19 per share.

Operating earnings for the second quarter 2003 were $84.2 million or $1.57 per
share on a fully diluted basis. Operating earnings exclude net realized
investment gains or losses and are calculated after payment of preferred
dividends. Operating results for this quarter also reflect the impact of the
refinancing of the Series A Preferred Shares and the expense related to stock
incentives. This compares to operating earnings of $71.3 million, or $1.38 per
share for the second quarter of 2002.

the expense related to stock incentives. Net income for the first six months of

Results of Operations

"Growth in net written premium during the second quarter continued to be
strong, representing a 49% increase over the second quarter of 2002," Mr.
Thiele said. "Given our strong second quarter growth on top of the 50% growth
in the first three months of 2003, we now expect a higher level of growth for
2003, closer to 30%.

"Again, this level of growth reflects our solid and differentiated market
position, both in the US and in Europe," Mr. Thiele continued. "It is
indicative of our ability to attract quality business across a diversified
portfolio of reinsurance lines, our broad geographical spread and the access we
have to both the direct and broker markets.

"Our Non-Life segment continued to perform very well, with a combined ratio of
92.6%. This represents the high volume of profitable business written over the
last several quarters, and a moderate level of catastrophe losses during the
quarter.

"In the Life segment, we continued to take advantage of opportunities in
European life business, virtually doubling life premiums for the first six
months of 2003 over the comparable period in 2002. We are confident we are
building value which will benefit our income statement in future periods."

Commentary and Outlook

"Virtually all of our operations are performing well this year, our tenth
anniversary year," Mr. Thiele said. "The current market is allowing PartnerRe
to demonstrate its strengths in underwriting, financial capacity and client
relationships.

"These strengths were exhibited in our July 1 renewals where we experienced 17%
growth in estimated premium production over the expiring premium base. The
growth of well-priced business plus expected growth in our non-life investment
income account makes us optimistic about results through this year and next.

"We remain confident that we will achieve our plan results for 2003 of
operating ROE of a minimum of 17% and
earnings per share of at least $5.70, absent a large loss in the third or
fourth quarter of 2003. We expect net written premium will be in excess of $3.5
billion for the year."

                 ---------------------------------------------

The Company uses operating earnings, diluted operating earnings per share and
operating return on beginning equity to measure performance, as these measures
focus on the underlying fundamentals of our operations without the influence of
realized gains and losses from the sale of investments, which is driven by the
timing of the disposition of investments and not by our operating performance.
For planning purposes, the Company does not anticipate realized investment
gains or losses. The Company also uses technical ratio and technical result as
measures of underwriting performance. These metrics exclude overhead
