Reinsurance

The reinsurance business is evolving, following the trend in financial services in general, as the various components of the business broaden and converge.

Traditionally, reinsurance transactions were between two insurance entities: the primary insurer that sold the original insurance policies and the reinsurer.  Many still are.  More recently, risks of various kinds, particularly of natural disasters, are being sold to institutional investors in the form of catastrophe bonds and other alternative risk-financing mechanisms.  Increasingly, these new products reflect a blending of reinsurance and investment banking.

We can arrange reinsurance programmes for the following sectors:

  • Aviation
  • Accident & health
  • Captives
  • Energy
  • Engineering & construction
  • Industrial & manufacturing
  • Marine & cargo
  • Mining
  • Pharmaceutical
  • Property
  • Sport
  • Travel & leisure

In addition, we have significant capabilities and experience in placing property risks especially for clients in the Caribbean market.

“Whatever form reinsurance takes, this is a complex business, not to be undertaken by the inexperienced or the faint of heart!”
