Having worked on reinsurance software in the 90s, one question that springs to mind, which came to light from the asbestos claims era, was brokers commission. What did happen was brokers would package up risks and sell those off (taking commission) which would see other brokers bundle those up and again package them and others up into a bundle and sell those off. So when a claim came down the line, that was huge, like the asbestos claim in period https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lloyd%27s_of_London which saw such a diluted risk and brokers commission leaching all profit, brought many down financially due to exposure. So interested how things are today regarding brokers endlessly packaging up risks they sell on, rinse repeat. I'm aware of certain changes that came about to reinsurance brokers in both the Lloyds and London Markets on the back of the asbestos claim era, but not sure of the the CAT model risks/insurance regarding brokers endlessly packaging up to offset risk exposure vs regulations limiting how much they can do that - more so the USA market. So curious - is there a risk from brokers diluting risks for commission profits in this market or is that saftly covered against and regulated? |
