We pride ourselves on working proactively with our customers to help them meet their risk and capital related objectives and to promote their long-term profitability and survival.

Risk carriers are becoming increasingly sophisticated in the way in which they assess their risk profiles and access the capital necessary to mitigate exposures and pursue new opportunities.

Our dedicated team - which includes specialists drawn from a number of relevant disciplines - has the knowledge, the support services and the experience to assist customers to access traditional and non-traditional sources of capital with confidence. Their goal is to enable customers to achieve their corporate and strategic objectives through the design and placement of bespoke risk solutions.

In addition to supporting customers' underwriting activities, the team can also assist with wider issues such as reinsurance recoverable credit risk, strategies for dealing with prior-year liabilities and non-core exposures, liquidity and solvency management (as we move into a risk-based regulatory environment and fair-value accounting regime) and the maintenance of security ratings.

The team works on the process from start to finish - from the conceptual design phase to the development of indicative pricing and the marketing and placement of the transaction - blending our expertise with the diverse skills within Aon Benfield Analytics and the wider Aon Benfield firm to achieve solutions that offer a beneficial economic balance of risk and reward.

The result is reinsurance protection that is both effective and efficient.
