US Catastrophe and Risk Excess of Loss
Amlin and its predecessor syndicates have been writing treaty
reinsurance for over fifty years and in 2007 we led approximately
57% of the business written by our US treaty account. The account
is technically driven using our in-house exposure rating tools,
catastrophe modelling software and experience rating in order to
provide our clients with a secure and consistent approach.
Catastrophe portfolio: is centred on regional
business (including regional companies), single territory companies
and small to medium sized enterprises. However, we also cover some
multinational businesses on a per peril or per territory
basis.
Risk excess portfolio: is geared towards regional
to multi-national,
standard lines commercial and industrial carriers. We will also
consider
excess property, surplus lines and facultative reinsurance
business.
In all classes we seek to minimise correlation with our
catastrophe
account.
