News and articles about collateralized reinsurance transactions and collateralised reinsurance market trends.
Collateralised reinsurance simply refers to any fully-collateralised reinsurance transaction, be that securitised or not.
Collateralized reinsurance allows ILS funds, hedge funds, pension funds and unrated, third-party capitalised reinsurance vehicles to participate in major reinsurance programs as the contracts they write are fully-collateralised.
