Training in the Fundamentals of P&C Reinsurance

The reinsurance business is evolving. Traditionally, reinsurance transactions were between two insurance entities: the primary insurer that sold the original insurance policies and the reinsurer. Most still are.

However, risks of various kinds, particularly of natural disasters, are now being sold by insurers and reinsurers to institutional investors in the form of catastrophe bonds and other alternative risk-spreading mechanisms. Increasingly, new products reflect a gradual blending of reinsurance and investment banking, making an understanding of reinsurance ever more important to the audience beyond a reinsurer's walls.

Fundamentals of P&C Reinsurance provides a complete foundation on the mechanics of the property and casualty reinsurance business, including the structures and types of contracts, their uses as a risk and financial management tool, and their impact upon insurance organizations.

Whether you're an analyst or investment banker covering the insurance industry or an industry professional concerned with understanding the reinsurance business, you'll find Fundamentals of P&C Reinsurance to be the most complete, yet compact guide to the reinsurance industry available.
