Structured reinsurance – over 30 years
of consistent success
Capital optimisation – currently the
most challenging task facing top man-
agers
• C apital optimisation/improvement of the solvency
margin is becoming increasingly difficult.
• Hybrid capital is currently scarcely available, hardly
affordable and inflexible.
Structured reinsurance – the advanced
solution
• T he surplus relief quota share is the more flexible, avail-
able and cost-efficient option for capital optimisation.
• It is suitable for low and high premium volumes.
• It also transfers an underwriting risk.
• T he flexibility extends to volume, duration, costs and
risk transfer.
• Multi-year stop loss protections are further alterna-
tives to hybrid financing.
Need to complement traditional rein-
surance? – Our concepts assist with a
varying degree of risk transfer
• More cost-efficient reinsurance structures
• Coverage for special situations
• P rotection of your company’s whole account or por-
tions thereof
• Control of excess frequency when you increase your
net retention
Advanced Solutions and Solvency II
In addition to many other advantages of structured re-
insurance, Advanced Solutions can assist in reducing
solvency requirements, for example via:
• Tailor-made quota share contracts to reduce both the
premium and reserve risks
• Multi-year stop loss covers to reduce the volatility of
net loss ratios
• Frequency protection covers for catastrophe risks
Interested?
• Have you given thought to enhancing your solvency
margin or considered using hybrid capital or subordin-
ated debt but not structured reinsurance? We can
provide you with a general or tailor-made comparison
between these products.
• Would you like to take a closer look at your financial
ratios or risk measures – be it the Return on Equity,
Cost Ratio, Sharpe Ratio, (Tail) Value at Risk, etc.?
• A review of your annual report, in particular the bal-
ance sheet and profit and loss account, combined with
a face-to-face meeting is a first step towards identify-
ing potential points of interest. In individual discus-
sions we can explore the details and devise tailor-
made solutions for your company.
