Save the Date
General description
Demands and expectations in reinsurance are increasing beyond its traditional functions of protecting balance sheets and steering exposure. That’s why scope and design of reinsurance has become wider than ever before. Tailor-made solutions covering primary insurers’ individual needs and goals are a core competency of Munich Re based on our holistic understanding of the different metrics affected by reinsurance.
Within this five-day seminar we cover various topics, from classic elements like solid pricing approaches to selected forms of modern risk-sharing between insurers and reinsurers, in light of today’s challenges –and opportunities. To name some: Cyber with its business opportunities and potential effects from reinsured portfolios and subsequently the design of reinsurance protection. Nat cat protection is seeing increased exposures due to climate change while still significant protection gaps exist. IFRS17 is putting new demands and challenges to the industry and the impact of digitalisation and data analytics is constantly growing in order to remain competitive.
