Company Review

Trend Analysis

MUNICH RE SYNDICATE LIMITED demonstrates a strong trend towards prompt payments, with an average payment time of just 12 days and 74% of invoices settled within 30 days. However, a significant 26% of payments are consistently made late, indicating a split trajectory where quick settlement for the majority is offset by delays for a notable minority.

Volatility Analysis

Despite the excellent average, the payment behavior exhibits some volatility due to 26% of invoices being paid late, with 8% extending beyond 60 days. This creates an unpredictable risk profile where a supplier can expect prompt payment for most transactions, but faces a substantial chance of significant delays for others, impacting cash flow reliability.

Summary Analysis

Overall, MUNICH RE SYNDICATE LIMITED offers a generally positive payment environment for suppliers, largely due to its efficient average payment time. Suppliers should, however, account for the 26% late payment rate, especially the 8% over 60 days, and consider implementing clear payment terms or tiered credit limits to mitigate potential cash flow disruptions.
