The “Nuts & Bolts” Of Treaty Reinsurance: Proportional Treaty Reinsurance

Programme Highlights

Reinsurance may be a relatively simple concept to grasp. However, at the operational level, some of its practices and technicalities can be quite complex and difficult to comprehend. This is at least to the uninitiated, or those still new to reinsurance. Through lectures, case studies and discussions conducted during this 2-day programme, participants will be equipped with detailed technical and practical knowledge of how the different types of Proportional Reinsurance Treaties can be structured and used in the reinsurance market and most importantly, the thought processes behind such practices.
