African Reinsurance Articles: Strategic Thinking from the People Who Do the Work
The most useful insight comes from practitioners, not observers. The articles on this page are written by the same team that designs our treaty reinsurance programmes, negotiates our facultative reinsurance placements, and builds the analytical models that underpin our structuring recommendations.
That means you are reading the thinking of people who sit in renewal meetings in Nairobi, negotiate capacity in London, navigate CIMA compliance in Abidjan, and present portfolio analytics to boards across the continent. When they write about a topic, it is because they have worked on it, not because it is trending.
Built for Technical Decision-Makers, Not Casual Readers
These are written for Chief Risk Officers, Heads of Reinsurance, actuaries, and capacity managers who want substance. If an article changes how you think about a part of your programme, it has done its job. If it raises a question you want to discuss with our team, even better.
