Reinsurance Contract Treaty Wordings

Programme Highlights

Reinsurance documentation used nowadays is in many cases substantially more complex than that used even 5 years ago. Through the use of case studies, lectures and practical exercises, this 2-day programme aims to equip participants with the confidence and ability to comprehend, prepare and/or check reinsurance documentation with a more questioning and professional approach.

Although there will be some discussions on Facultative wordings, e.g. with regard to Contract Certainty and to highlight differences visà-vis Treaty wordings, this programme will deal mostly with Treaty wordings. Nevertheless, this will be an excellent programme to cement the participants’ overall knowledge of reinsurance.
