Reinsurance is a method of sharing financial risk with another insurance company. We use reinsurance when a large amount of insurance is applied for or when a client has a significant medical history.
Through our relationships with several different reinsurance companies, we can share risk, provide more favorable offers to clients and the best possible coverage.

Frequently asked questions
Will your offers be pulled if a case is sent facultative to reinsurance?
No, we will stand by our offer to our maximum available retention. For example:
- If a case is for $10 million permanent life insurance,
- We offer Table C, and
- When sending to reinsurers all reinsurers are a Table D or higher,
- We will honor our Table C to a maximum of our $5 million retention, assuming we have no coverage in force.
Therefore, when the application and in-force coverage combined is above $5 million, you should work closely with your underwriter to decide the option of facultative reinsurance.
How long does it take to get offers back?
Typically we will have an offer in 3-4 business days.
How many reinsurers do you have?
We have a pool of up to six reinsurers, including RGA®, Swiss RE, Munich RE, Hannover RE®, SCOR and Gen RE®.
What are the reinsurers’ “sweet spots”?
They include (but are not limited to): diabetes, cancer, liver enzymes, cardiovascular and avocations.
If one company uses facultative reinsurance, does that mean no other company can autobind to a reinsurer?
The company would need to follow what is outlined in their treaty with their reinsurers,
but typically there is no restriction in binding a reinsurer automatically if another company uses facultative reinsurance.
