In surplus reinsurance, a ceding insurer’s retention is known as ___________.

a.

Surplus limit

b.

Line

c.

PML

d.

Quota share

Discuss
Answer: (b).Line Explanation:In surplus reinsurance, the original insurer (i.e., the ceding insurer) decides what part of the original insurance he wishes to retain for his own account and reinsures (cedes) the balance with a reinsurer. The ceding insurer's retention is known as the "line." It represents the maximum amount of risk that the ceding insurer is willing to retain for its own account. The line is usually expressed as a monetary value or as a percentage of the sum insured. The reinsurer then agrees to cover any losses that exceed the ceding insurer's retention (i.e., the line). The other options listed are not related to the concept of "line" in surplus reinsurance.
Q94.
In which of the following methods does the percentage of retained sum insured vary for different limits of sums insured and reduce with increase in the limit of sum insured?

a.

Proportional Reinsurance

b.

Surplus Reinsurance

c.

Quota share reinsurance

d.

Variable quota share reinsurance

Discuss
Answer: (d).Variable quota share reinsurance Explanation:In variable quota share reinsurance, the percentage of retained sum insured varies for different limits of sums insured and reduces with an increase in the limit of sum insured. This means that for higher sums insured, the ceding insurer retains a lower percentage of the sum insured and cedes a higher percentage to the reinsurer. This method allows the ceding insurer to reduce its retention on larger risks while retaining a higher percentage on smaller risks. In proportional reinsurance, the reinsurer shares the liabilities of the insurer along with the sum assured, premiums, and claims in the same proportion as per the agreement in the treaty. The percentage of retained sum insured remains constant irrespective of the limit of sum insured. In surplus reinsurance, the original insurer (i.e. the ceding insurer) decides what part of the original insurance he wishes to retain for his own account and reinsures (cedes) the balance with a reinsurer.
