Financial Solutions

Targeted provision of financial support for primary insurers through reinsurance arrangements under which the reinsurer participates in the original costs of an insurance portfolio and receives as a consideration a share of the future profits of the said portfolio. This approach is used primarily for long-term products in personal lines, such as life, annuity and personal accident insurance.
