Talk:Reinsurance sidecar

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I wrote this article as a companion to Catastrophe Bonds -- this represents another major development in the capital markets since Hurricane Katrina.

Thank you. Could you explain what the insurer is attempting to accomplish by entering into this agreement? And if he is looking only for surplus relief, why a sidecar as opposed to a standard quota share with an admitted reinsurer? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.153.96.182 (talk) 01:55, 25 October 2007 (UTC)
