Product Description
Reinsurance is a form of insurance for insurance companies-a way of spreading the risk more widely. Until recently, reinsurance was a topic familiar only to those in the insurance industry directly involved in reinsurance transactions. Today, however, reinsurance is a subject of particular concern to those responsible for regulating the industry and of increasing interest to the financial community as a whole. To meet this growing interest, the Insurance Information Institute asked a number of reinsurance experts to write articles on the technical aspects of reinsurance for readers unfamiliar with the business. These essays, as a group, describe in simple terms what reinsurance is, how the industry functions, and provide a broad overview of the new challenges facing the industry today.

An excellent treatment of the subject August 27, 2002
12 out of 13 found this review helpful
This nice little book is published by the Insurance Information Institute for the education of reinsurance laymen. It covers a lot of ground efficiently and logically, at a level of explanation appropriate to the target audience. Frank and direct commentary on the problems and issues facing the industry keep this book from being the propaganda piece it could have been. A glossary and index aid the reader in comprehension. My only complaint is that some of the later chapters bog down in minutia, and the quality of writing is somewhat inconsistent from chapter to chapter (i.e. author to author). Overall however, this is an excellent treatment of the subject.
