Expanding traditional reinsurance programs to include alternative risk transfer solutions
In addition to structured reinsurance and traditional reinsurance, benefit from the access to alternative risk transfer (ART) solutions. Alternative in the sense that they enable a direct transfer of uncorrelated insurance risks to capital market investors.
The most common ART instruments are Insurance Linked Securities (ILS), in particular catastrophe bonds, to cover peak risks from natural disasters. Other well-known ART formats are sidecars, swaps and derivatives.
