1. reinsurance

   Reinsurance is a financial practice where an insurance company reduces its possible financial liabilities by transferring part of its risk to another insurance company. It allows insurance companies to remain solvent by mitigating the risk of major claims events and stabilize financial ratios, increasing their capacity to underwrite more policies. The company that takes on the extra risk, in exchange for a share of the premiums, is the reinsurer.

1. Reinsurance

   Reinsurance is insurance that is purchased by an insurance company from one or more other insurance companies as a means of risk management, sometimes in practice including tax mitigation and other reasons described below. The ceding company and the reinsurer enter into a reinsurance agreement which details the conditions upon which the reinsurer would pay a share of the claims incurred by the ceding company. The reinsurer is paid a "reinsurance premium" by the ceding company, which issues insurance policies to its own policyholders. The reinsurer may be either a specialist reinsurance company, which only undertakes reinsurance business, or another insurance company. For example, assume an insurer sells 1000 policies, each with a $1 million policy limit. Theoretically, the insurer could lose $1 million on each policy – totaling up to $1 billion. It may be better to pass some risk to a reinsurer as this will reduce the ceding company's exposure to risk. There are two basic methods of reinsurance: ⁕Facultative Reinsurance, which is negotiated separately for each insurance contract that is reinsured. Facultative reinsurance is normally purchased by ceding companies for individual risks not covered, or insufficiently covered, by their reinsurance treaties, for amounts in excess of the monetary limits of their reinsurance treaties and for unusual risks. Underwriting expenses, and in particular personnel costs, are higher for such business because each risk is individually underwritten and administered. However as they can separately evaluate each risk reinsured, the reinsurer's underwriter can price the contract to more accurately reflect the risks involved.
