Facultative Reinsurance

« Back to Glossary Index

Glossary Definition: Facultative reinsurance is a type of reinsurance contract purchased by a primary insurer to cover a single, specific risk or policy that is too large, unusual, or high-exposure to fit within standard parameters. Utilizing facultative reinsurance gives carriers maximum flexibility during the insurance underwriting process
for individual multinational factories, mega-vessels, or a complex bespoke insurance policy
that requires independent endorsement beyond a standard treaty-reinsurance agreement.
