Expert Insights on Reinsurance Industry

Reinsurance is how an insurance company protects itself against potential losses by sharing risk with another insurance company. The party that diversifies its insurance portfolio is known as the ceding party; the entity that accepts a portion of the potential obligation in exchange for a share of the insurance premium is known as the reinsurer. Reinsurance contracts give insurers the opportunity to offer higher limits of protection to a policyholder than its own assets would allow. Reinsurance also allows the insurance industry to spread its losses among more companies, lessening the impact of claims on any one company.
