Treaty and Facultative Reinsurance

Reinsurance is often described as insurance for insurance companies; it’s a way of transferring some of the financial risk that an insurance company assumes. There are generally two types of reinsurance: treaty, which covers a portfolio of policies, and facultative, which covers an individual risk.
