Full Definition of Retrocessionaire


A retrocession is a transaction in which one reinsurer (the retrocessionaire) relinquishes a portion of the reinsurance that the former has assumed.

Risks are ceded to retrocessionaires by reinsurance firms in order to minimise their net obligation on individual risks. This assists them in avoiding catastrophic losses, stabilising financial ratios, and obtaining more underwriting capacity.
