Advocates quantifying reinsurance credit risk in insurance companies, indicating a new way to manage costs.
Property-casualty insurance companies tend to buy reinsurance; when they do, they must address reinsurance credit risk. This paper advocates that companies should evaluate reinsurance credit risk with a market-consistent paradigm, which manifests two salient features: a probabilistic view of credit risk that assigns costs to low probability events, and a willingness to use market-based instruments for the purpose of quantifying the cost of risk. The proposed market-consistent paradigm facilitates a company’s ability and willingness to measure, hedge, and optimize reinsurance credit risk.
