Reinsurance is central to how insurers manage capital, control volatility, and pursue growth, yet its structures and economics are often poorly understood outside specialist teams. This deck, built by a practicing actuary, turns a technical and strategically important subject into a clear, visual resource for actuaries, underwriters, capital teams, and finance professionals who need to understand not just how reinsurance works, but how to use it well.
The deck distinguishes the main forms of reinsurance and illustrates each with how risk and premium are shared. It covers proportional treaties, including quota share and surplus, and non-proportional treaties, including excess of loss on a per-risk, per-occurrence, and aggregate or stop-loss basis, as well as facultative cover for individual risks. For each structure, the deck makes clear when it is appropriate and what problem it is designed to solve.
It then explains why insurers cede risk in the first place: capital relief, earnings stability, catastrophe protection, additional capacity, and access to expertise. It shows how reinsurance interacts with solvency and capital requirements, and how it is reflected in financial reporting, including reinsurance contracts held under IFRS 17. The deck also introduces pricing fundamentals such as burning cost, exposure rating, and reinstatement provisions, so readers understand how reinsurance is actually priced and structured.
The final section moves from mechanics to strategy. It addresses how to design a coherent reinsurance programme, how to align cover with risk appetite and capital objectives, and how to manage counterparty and credit risk across reinsurers. This connects the technical detail to the decisions that boards and risk committees actually make.
Designed for actuaries, underwriters, capital and risk teams, insurance finance professionals, brokers, and students, this is a fully editable 16:9 PowerPoint in a clean, professional consulting style. Adapt it for internal training, programme-design discussions, board briefings, or client work without building from scratch. Buy once, edit freely, and brand it as your own to explain reinsurance structures, pricing, and strategy with clarity, confidence, and credibility.
