For those of us who have been in the reinsurance business for some time, most of what is written about reinsurance by the mainstream press makes us cringe. To be fair, we usually do a very poor job of explaining ourselves to the general public. If it weren’t for catastrophes, any reporting or discussion of reinsurance would hardly ever occur. Reinsurers are then viewed as a faceless sinkhole into which money flows never to return. This blog will look to put a face on our industry by providing a common understanding of reinsurance and commentary on the issues most impacting our business. For reinsurers, insurers, legislators, reporters and all those interested in reinsurance welcome.
