Our Underwriting Approach
At Arch Reinsurance Ltd. (Bermuda), we are disciplined in our underwriting, focusing on areas where we can bring stability and forge long-term relationships with ceding companies and brokers. Our underwriting approach ensures that each cedent's risks are priced appropriately, based on its circumstances. Risks are typically evaluated on various factors, including:
  • Historical loss data on the cedent and, where available, on the industry as a whole in the relevant region(s)
  • Projections of future loss frequency and severity
  • Cedent's financial strength
  • Cedent's perceived commitment to its business and its reinsurer
  • Geographic area in which the cedent does business, together with its catastrophe exposures, and our exposure in that area
Many of our underwriters are also actuaries. Employing actuaries on the front-end of the underwriting process gives us a key advantage in evaluating risks, and helps us to build a stable, high-quality book of business.
