A reinsurer is a company that provides insurance to insurance companies. Essentially, it is a form of risk management where an insurance company transfers a portion of its risk portfolio to another insurance company, known as the reinsurer. This allows the original insurer, or cedent, to reduce its exposure to large losses, stabilize its earnings, and increase its underwriting capacity. Reinsurance can be purchased for a variety of reasons, including catastrophic risk protection, surplus relief, or to cover specific lines of business. The reinsurer assumes part of the risk in exchange for a premium paid by the ceding company. This arrangement helps the primary insurer to remain solvent and capable of paying claims to its policyholders even in the face of significant unexpected events. The global reinsurance market plays a crucial role in the stability and availability of insurance worldwide by spreading risk across a broader base.
