Sophisticated risk transfer for general liability, professional indemnity, and employment exposures
Casualty and liability reinsurance encompasses general liability (GL), professional indemnity (PI), employers' liability (EL), product liability, Directors & Officers (D&O) liability, and employment practices liability (EPL). These long-tail exposures remain fundamental to insurance architecture worldwide, with loss development patterns extending years or decades. Modern casualty markets reflect evolving tort law, increasing litigation costs, social inflation affecting jury awards, and emerging exposures including cyber liability, social media defamation, and environmental remediation claims. GUARANT RE brings specialized expertise in casualty underwriting, combining actuarial sophistication with claims development analysis to serve cedents across diverse casualty segments.
Our casualty underwriting emphasizes detailed loss history analysis, robust reserve adequacy evaluation, and disciplined risk selection. We assess cedents' underwriting controls (underwriting guidelines, risk selection discipline, premium adequacy monitoring), claims management practices (claims automation, timely litigation management, adequacy of reserve levels), and reported loss development (adverse development reserves, reserve strengthening frequency). We evaluate class-specific exposure (manufacturing vs. service vs. professional), geographic concentration, and emerging loss trends affecting pricing. We participate selectively in proportional and excess-of-loss arrangements, emphasizing stable cedents with transparent loss reporting, disciplined pricing discipline, and evidence of strong loss control. Our approach particularly values partnerships with cedents operating in emerging and developing markets where professional liability and employment practices insurance represent growth opportunities.
