Alternative Risk Solutions
Solutions Built Around Your Goals
Alternative risk arrangements can provide greater influence over how risk is financed and managed, but only when the structure, market relationships, and operating responsibilities work together. Preferred Re helps insurance organizations evaluate their needs, arrange reinsurance and fronting, and coordinate the partners required to move a practical strategy forward.
Practical Market Support
Alternative Risk Capabilities
We work with you during formation, renewal, expansion, or a point of change. Every engagement is shaped around the program’s purpose and the specific program, reinsurance, and relationship questions that need to be resolved.
Program Strategy and Structure
We help clarify the program objective, the risk to be retained, the protection needed, and the role of outside market support. The goal is to connect the business need with a structure that the organization and potential partners can evaluate clearly.
Reinsurance Design and Placement
We help design and structure reinsurance, prepare proposals, approach appropriate markets, compare options, and support placement and contract language. Recommendations address both the protection provided and the obligations the organization retains.
Fronting Carrier Relationships
When licensed carrier paper is needed, we help identify fronting carriers, evaluate fit, and negotiate the relationship, covering everything from appetite and authority to security requirements and long-term economics.
Provider Coordination and Ongoing Support
We help identify and coordinate the providers a program needs, captive managers, claims administrators, underwriters, actuaries, and more, and stay involved as those relationships run.
