Reinsurance broker's role expands to risk manager
Article Abstract:
Reinsurance brokers used to provide reinsurance for companies that needed it and received commissions for their services. In 1996, reinsurance brokers provide special services for fees rather than a commission. These brokers assist primary insurance companies in their selection of reinsurance and their selection of a reinsurance provider. Reinsurance brokers will also create catastrophe reinsurance alternatives.

Managing risk is key to brokers' survival
Article Abstract:
Insurance brokers need to recognize the importance of risk management to the future of their industry.
