Life Reinsurance

Introduction

The objective of this wiki is to be a collaborate effort involving a select team of reinsurance practitioners to create a comprehensive web-based knowledge base with respect to Life Reinsurance in South Africa.

The intention is to describe, over time, the origins of Life Reinsurance, how it is practiced in South Africa, who the main role players are, provide some market statistics, give detail with respect to some of the direct policies that are reinsured, etc. It can also include sections on medical underwriting, claims management, pricing, reserving, retrocession, asset-liability management, risk management, marketing, distribution, accounting and any other topics related to the practice of Life Reinsurance.

Out of scope (as currently foreseen) is Health Reinsurance and any General / Property & Casualty Reinsurance.
