Reinsurance
The global reinsurance sector is evolving as the needs of insurers change in the face of emerging and increasingly expensive risks. As such, reinsurers are having to exercise caution to maintain the balance between effective pricing and the expected risk. Alpha’s insurance consulting experience working within the reinsurance sector enables us to support our clients, navigate their concerns and best position themselves within the market.
Macroeconomic and geopolitical volatility
The inflationary economic conditions and geopolitical volatility has coincided with an increase in the frequency of extreme weather events in recent years. As a result, investors and reinsurers alike are reassessing their risk profiles and appetite for natural catastrophe exposure.
Rising interest rates
Equity levels are hampered by interest rate rises causing concern about the systemic inflationary pressure on past and future claims costs. Insurers are demanding higher limits, impacting reinsurers margins and driving them to adapt their distribution models.
Product innovation
Insurers continue to innovate in the face of emerging risks and diversify their insurance products, through new offerings such as Collateral Protection Insurance (CPI). This represents an opportunity for reinsurers to cover intellectual property risks and expand into new risk markets.
