Barclays maintains an 'Overweight' on Reinsurance Group of America (NYSE: RGA) price target of $64.00.

Analyst, Sarah DeWitt, said, "We view RGA's business as low risk compared to other life insurers due to less sensitivity to equity markets and interest rates. RGA could report a steady ROE of about 12% through 2013. As the company continues to generate consistent results, we expect the stock to be re-valued upward...We anticipate RGA could provide a long-term outlook of double-digit growth in both premiums and EPS beyond 2012, as well as a long-term ROE outlook of about 12%...RGA could reiterate its 2012 operating EPS guidance of $6.70-$7.30 which implies an 11%-12% operating ROE."
