Risk limiting features - Experience Based Renewals

Could you explain why "if reinsurance premium rates are guaranteed to recover any portion of prior year losses, then risk transfer is limited"?

  • When the reinsurer is able to claw back prior year losses, then there is less "protection" for the insurer. The whole point of reinsurance is to protect against tail losses - If the reinsurer is able to recover a portion of prior year losses incurred from the insurer, then you are less protected from tail events as your total payout given an event will now be smaller
