Both under favorable and stressed conditions, companies heavily rely on reinsurance and the market has seen a number of major transactions enacted in this space over recent months. Reinsurance offers a wider variety of opportunities in order to manage stressed balance sheets and enhance return on capital, upon which insurers must continually reflect in order to capture all the potential value. For example, captive reinsurance, which offers expense or cost reduction advantages in addition to risk management and control, is becoming more widespread as more U.S. jurisdictions allow parents companies to benefit from these captive formations. Upon enacting a transaction, ensuring the implementation of effective reinsurance operations is crucial in order to avoid operational inefficiencies and monitor the transaction's performance. Understanding the potential opportunities and common pitfalls in reinsurance processes is vital for capturing the full value of reinsurance.
