Reinsurers and Retention Limits
Reinsurers are a specialized branch of the insurance industry because they
insure insurers. Reinsurance is an arrangement by which an insurance company
transfers a portion of an assumed risk to another insurer. Usually, reinsurance
occurs to limit the loss any one insurer would face should a very large claim
become payable. Another reason for reinsurance is to enable a company to
meet specific objectives, such as favorable underwriting or mortality results.
The company transferring the risk is called the ceding company; the company
assuming the risk is the reinsurer. The portion of the risk that the ceding insurer
retains is called the net retention (or net line). A typical reinsurance contract
between two insurance companies is called treaty reinsurance, which involves
an automatic sharing of the risks assumed. In a reinsurance agreement, the
insurance company that transfers its loss exposure to another insurer is called
the primary insurer.

Variable Whole Life Insurance
was created to help offset the effects of inflation on death benefits. It's
permanent life insurance with many of the same characteristics of traditional
whole life insurance. The main difference is the manner in which the policy's
values are invested. With traditional whole life, these values are kept in the
insurer's general accounts and invested in conservative investments selected by
the insurer to match its contractual guarantees and liabilities. With variable
life insurance policies, the policy values are invested in the insurer's separate
accounts which house common stock, bond, money market, and other securities
investment options. Values held in these separate accounts are invested in
riskier, but potentially higher yielding, assets than those held in the general
account. The basic characteristics of a variable life policy are: fixed premiums,
a guaranteed minimum death benefit which fluctuates over the minimum, and
cash values which fluctuate and are not guaranteed.
