Reinsurance Underwriting

While the workshop will present a broad overview of the main reinsurance responsibilities, it will also focus in more depth on some important features. In particular, it will address:

• Fundamentals and purpose of reinsurance

• The reinsurance market

• Underwriting processes

• Wordings and contract certainty

• Pricing

• Technical accounting

• Claims

Target Group

Participants do not need to be experienced in reinsurance, but they may benefit from some familiarity with basic concepts of insurance and an elementary command of Excel®.

The workshop precedes the workshop "Reinsurance Pricing and Structuring", therefore, the relating workshops can be combined at a reduced fee.
