How can the attractiveness of a specialty reinsurance segment be assessed?
The attractiveness of a specialty reinsurance segment can be assessed by analyzing available capacity, pricing discipline, major loss frequency, exposure to systemic catastrophes, modeling complexity, treaty clauses, exclusions, cedant quality, required capital volatility and the risk appetite of international reinsurers. These indicators help identify niches where capacity scarcity, technical expertise and coverage structuring can support more defensible margins.
