GC FAC® Facultative Reinsurance: Your Competitive Advantage

Guy Carpenter places over $1.6 billion in facultative reinsurance, tapping global markets to find the most comprehensive and competitive terms for our clients. We are the industry leader in automatic and semiautomatic programs that enable clients to address individual risks with precision—while keeping operating tempos high and costs low.

Speed. Expertise. Superior Relationships.

Automatic and semiautomatic reinsurance structures for property and casualty help you make the most of opportunities, improve capital management and advance underwriting strategies. These programs deliver more cost-effective risk transfer solutions than some treaty risk transfer products, while providing additional limits and/or modifying attachment points.
Sophisticated Solutions

You benefit from deeply specialized expertise in virtually every area of insurable risk: from trucks in Indonesia to petroleum facilities in Latin America or a fleet of leased aircrafts. Whatever your reinsurance challenge, GC FAC® can provide the sophistication you need with the simplicity of monthly reporting.
Facultative Reinsurance Platform

In the US, Guy Carpenter's facultative reinsurance platform, GC FacExchange, helps insurers transfer exceptional individual risks on a same- or next-day basis, with industry-leading efficiency. Most risks can now be ceded to a standing facility, bound within 48 hours and reported in a monthly bordereau: one call, one report, one bill, and one-stop claims tracking.

Improved returns through holistic capital management. Guy Carpenter and Mercer both work with a number of (re)insurers to improve and optimize return on capital (ROC).

Our Centers of Excellence and Segments. Our line-of business experts dedicate market knowledge and analytics to your unique challenges, equipping you with a business edge that goes beyond best pricing in the reinsurance market.

A Solid Foundation for Sophisticated Capital Structures

Guy Carpenter helps chief financial officers and reinsurance buyers analyze an expanding range of capital solutions, and integrate those that best fulfill immediate needs and long-term enterprise goals.

New sources of capital present insurers with new ways to diversify their balance sheets, but the equation of diversification is increasingly complex.

US Credit for Reinsurance Requirements

Reinsurance in the US is overseen by individual states through the use of credit for reinsurance laws and regulations. With some variation, all US states have enacted credit for reinsurance laws and regulations based on the “Model Laws and Regulations” published by the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC).
