Kathmandu. In most business transactions, the party receiving the service pays the party who provides it. Reinsurance presents a significant complexity to this argument. <\/p>\n
When the insurer assigns the risk to the reinsurer under the proportional agreement, the reinsurer pays back some amount to the insurer. This payment is called a reinsurance commission, and understanding it is fundamental to understanding how the economics of a reinsurance relationship actually work. <\/p>\n
Reinsurance commission originated as a practical assumption of a simple fact. The primary insurer bears all the procedural burden before the reinsurer enters into the insurance agreement or claims process. Insurers market their products, vet applicants, issue policies, collect premiums, manage customer relationships. Handles the claim payment process. <\/p>\n
When the insurer transfers a portion of the resulting portfolio to the reinsurer. The reinsurer receives a portion of the insured income without incurring any of those origination costs. A commission is an acknowledgement of the insurer’s contributions, which compensate the insurer for the expenses incurred in acquiring and managing the business. <\/p>\n
Importantly, this commission system works perfectly without the involvement of any broker or intermediary between the two parties. In reinsurance, the sedent, or primary insurer, negotiates and negotiates directly with the reinsurer. There is no retail distribution channel, there is no sales commission to a third-party agent. And there is no insurance to cover. Both parties are sophisticated professional counterparties who negotiate the terms of the arrangement directly. Therefore, commissions are not sales incentives. This is the fair remuneration provided by the insurer to the insurer for administrative convenience.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
