condition of average is applied in a different manner, No definite rules can be laid down
for the rating

d) Valued policies - Valued policies, or more appropriately agreed value polices, are
contracts where the sum insured is deemed to be the actual value of the property.
Valued policies are issued mainly in respect of valuables, paintings, pictures, curios,
antiques and other works of art. One of the main reasons for the measure of indemnity
to be agreed in advance is that in respect of many articles like stamps, curios, works of
art, antiques, etc., the intrinsic value may be very small compared to the sentimental or
personal value which the owner of the article may place on it.

CHAPTER 11
REINSURANCE
2. Types of reinsurance -
a) Facultative reinsurance - each risk is proposed separately and individually to
the reinsurer and the reinsurer decides whether to accept the same or not.
b) Treaty reinsurance -formal agreement is drawn up between the ceding
company and a group of reinsuring companies, ceding company is bound to
cede and the reinsurers are bound to accept each and every cession which falls
within the scope of the treaty.
Different types of treaty reinsurances
Proportional type:
- Quota share basis
- Surplus basis
- Pool basis
i. Quota share treaty method - risks are shared by the ceding company and its
reinsurers in some predetermined proportion
ii. Surplus treaty method - ceding company reinsures with the treaty
reinsurers surpluses over and above its retention in terms, and within the size
of, the treaty.
iii. Pool basis - Companies cede a particular percentage of their premium to a
pool formed by a Group of Companies or by the regulators, for better
management of risk. E.g. Terrorism pool, Motor TP Pool etc.
Non proportional type:
- Excess of loss
- Stop loss basis
i. Excess of loss reinsurance - ceding company bears up to a fixed sum of losses
in respect of a claim or claims arising out of a single event in a particular class
of business. This limit up to which the ceding company bears losses arising out
of single event is called the “loss” or “underlying net” retention of the ceding
company
ii. Stop loss reinsurance - The same principle underlying the excess of loss
arrangement can be extended so as to protect the ceding company not only in
respect of any loss / losses arising out of a single event beyond its loss
retention, but also in respect of losses on its entire net account relating to a
particular class of business
