Treaty reinsurance is a core product offering for insurance companies writing business in the UK and Ireland. Our products and services generally cover all lines of business on both a proportional and excess of loss basis and are designed to help our clients achieve their strategic and operational objectives.

The Treaty team are based in London, providing direct access to a lot of our client base. Clients located outside of London are supported through regular visits and communications, as befits a direct reinsurance operation.

Benefits of Direct Distribution

Underwriting and claims services, delivered directly to clients by our employees, are at the heart of our service offering. We believe that direct distribution offers significant advantages to both our clients and ourselves. Clients have the benefit of clearly defined communication channels with our underwriting and claims teams, providing efficient and effective support in key areas such as product development and the handling of large claims. In this way, we always ensure that our own interests are clearly aligned with those of our clients, a hugely important issue given the longevity of many of our clients' exposures that we protect.

Underwriting Knowledge

Apart from the direct communications referred to above, a core element of the Gen Re experience is the underwriting research and development that we undertake and share with our clients on topics of mutual interest. From our emerging issues research to a broad range of publications, client training and seminars, we are an important source of information and support to help clients make better underwriting decisions..

Claims Expertise

The quality of our commitment to pay claims is unparalleled, providing peace of mind to our clients in an increasingly uncertain world. However, the benefits of doing business with us go beyond this. Our claim staff works directly with our clients to ensure that claims are settled in a professional and effective way, and as promptly as possible. They are supported by a worldwide network of expert referrals – a structure designed to help clients achieve better claim outcomes.
