A.M.BestTV: Reinsurers and Capital Markets: A Greater Transformer

OLDWICK, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- This episode of A.M.BestTV provides highlights of a recent webinar where A.M. Best Vice President Robert DeRose, Managing Senior Financial Analyst Greg Reisner and Senior Financial Analyst Scott Mangan discussed how the widening access to alternative capital is opening up new opportunities for reinsurers, especially larger reinsurers with broader access. Click on http://www.ambest.com/v.asp?v=globalrepanel915 to view the entire program.

“In many ways the industry is not the way it used to be,” said DeRose. “The advent of alternative capital into the marketplace to the degree that traditional insurers are embracing and using it really shows how the marketplace is innovating.”

"Looking at mergers and acquisitions, most of those deals in the current reinsurance market are focused on one, if not all, of the following four categories: broader product capability, broader geographic reach, greater influence with brokers and cedents and greater attractiveness to third party capital,” said Reisner.
