A type of reinsurance that is negotiated and purchased on a case-by-case basis is facultative reinsurance. As it enables the insurer to pick which risks to transfer to the reinsurer, it offers flexibility. Treaty reinsurance, on the other hand, entails a contract between the insurer and reinsurer to automatically cover a specific risk category or a portfolio of risks. While facultative reinsurance is utilized for special and unique risks, treaty reinsurance offers greater coverage and is frequently used for standardized risks.‎

Facultative reinsurance involves the individual assessment and acceptance of specific insurance policies or risks by the reinsurer. It offers flexibility in risk evaluation, policy-by-policy coverage, and cost determination. Treaty reinsurance, in contrast, provides automatic coverage for a specified portfolio of risks.

Pros of facultative reinsurance include tailored risk assessment and pricing, while cons include administrative complexity.

Facultative reinsurance is a type of reinsurance where the insurer has the option to accept or reject specific individual risks to be reinsured. This means that the insurer can choose which risks they want to transfer to the reinsurer on a case-by-case basis. In contrast, treaty reinsurance is a type of reinsurance where the insurer transfers a whole category or portfolio of risks to the reinsurer on an automatic basis. Treaty reinsurance is typically used for standard and predictable risks, while facultative reinsurance is used for unique or high-risk cases. Ultimately, the choice between facultative and treaty reinsurance depends on the insurer’s risk management strategy and the nature of their individual risks.
