Reinsurance Disclosures [Abstract] |
Reinsurance | Reinsurance The Company purchases retrocession and reinsurance to limit and diversify the Company’s risk exposure and to increase its own insurance and reinsurance underwriting capacity. These agreements provide for recovery of losses and loss adjustment expenses from reinsurers. The Company remains liable to the extent that reinsurers do not meet their obligations under these agreements. In line with its risk management objectives, the Company evaluates the financial condition of its reinsurers and monitors concentrations of credit risk. Balances pertaining to reinsurance transactions are reported “gross” on the consolidated balance sheet, meaning that reinsurance recoverable on unpaid losses and ceded unearned premiums are not deducted from insurance reserves but are recorded as assets. For more information on reinsurance recoverables, refer to Note 22, “Concentrations of Credit Risk — Reinsurance recoverables” and Note 10, “Reserve for Losses and Loss Adjustment Expenses” of these consolidated financial statements. The effect of assumed and ceded reinsurance on premiums written, premiums earned and losses and loss adjustment expenses for the twelve months ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022 was as follows:
