How Facultative ReSources is Different

Because facultative underwriting operates in a world of adverse selection, it is perhaps the purest form of underwriting, relying on the experience of its underwriters to determine premiums sufficient to provide for losses and expenses, while allowing a return on capital commensurate with the actuarial uncertainty inherent in excess of loss reinsurance placements. To that end, Fac Re has, over the past 26 years, accumulated an enormous amount of data pertaining to the excess casualty and property business that adds depth to the judgments we make. Our underwriters, actuaries and claims staff are an impressive team of highly experienced risk evaluators, well known to reinsurance intermediaries and ceding company professionals alike. We have a willingness to review almost any type of account and provide our clients with meaningful solutions that are both quantifiable and qualitative. And our promise to pay, within the terms of the policy, is well established. These are the things that make Fac Re different than the competition.
