BI’s Article search uses Boolean search capabilities. If you are not familiar with these principles, here are some quick tips.

To search specifically for more than one word, put the search term in quotation marks. For example, “workers compensation”. This will limit your search to that combination of words.

To search for a combination of terms, use quotations and the & symbol. For example, “hurricane” & “loss”.

Alternative capital provides $90 billion of reinsurance capacity

January 15, 2018 Reprints

A report by U.K.-based reinsurance broker Aon Benfield Group Ltd. found that alternative capital supplied almost $90 billion worth of reinsurance capacity following the catastrophe losses in 2017, The Royal Gazette reported. The report said that about $128 billion in insured losses had been absorbed without compromising the availability of reinsurance capacity. The private reinsurance market accounted for less than a third of the insured losses, as primary insurers and government-backed programs took the lion's share.
