Casualty Reinsurance – Pricing Approach Collaborative effort between actuaries and underwriters focusing on quantitative and qualitative Modeled loss distributions per account – we quantify the downside (as well as the upside) of each transaction Risk adjusted – Pricing Matrix looks at relative riskiness between treaty type; attachment point and state Strength of Underlying rates and management’s historic attitude to pricing Quality of Company – Management/ Board/ Historic trading attitude to reinsurance Quality of data and transparency Quality of advisors i.e. Outside actuaries and Reinsurance Brokers

    6. Casualty Reinsurance - Products Risk excess of loss Swing Plan or Flat rated – Look for alignment of interests Maximum recoverable Multi year commitment with annual cancellation either way Excess Cession Provides increased limit capacity per risk
