Reinsurance

Reinsurance is a form of protection purchased by insurance companies to reduce financial burden and risk.

Why it matters:

For the same reasons you would buy insurance, most insurers also buy reinsurance to manage their own risks. Reinsurance companies help pay a portion of claims, which goes a long way to help us stay financially healthy and stable. In other words, you don't have to worry about our ability to pay claims!
