The NEXO RE record
Latest entry
Frequency is not rising. Impact is
Ten M7+ earthquakes by 10 August 2026 sit within natural variability. What is growing is exposure: insured losses are advancing 5–7% in real terms a year, and in emerging economies 80–90% of catastrophe damage remains uninsured.

Frequently asked questions
What we get asked before we start
If yours is not here, write to us: we will answer anyway.
Let's talk01Is NEXO RE an insurer?
No. We do not issue policies or carry risk of our own: we structure the transfer of the risk and place it with world-renowned reinsurers. We work in facultative reinsurance of complex risks and in alternative risk transfer solutions.
02What is facultative reinsurance?
It is reinsurance negotiated risk by risk, rather than covered by a treaty agreed once for a whole portfolio. It allows conditions, deductibles and structure to be built around a single risk, and it is the usual route when a risk is large, infrequent, or carries requirements the treaty does not contemplate.
03What risks do you place?
Marine cargo and storage in transit; Property & Energy; financial lines such as D&O, E&O and fidelity; political risk; general liability; mobile equipment and machinery; cyber risk; and parametric cover.
04What is alternative risk transfer?
These are solutions that move risk outside traditional damage insurance. The best known are parametric covers, which pay an agreed amount when an objective index — accumulated rainfall, wind speed, seismic magnitude — crosses a threshold, with no traditional loss adjustment.
05How is this different from placing the risk in the local market alone?
In access to capacity. We have the international financial backing of world-renowned reinsurers, which lets us place risks the local market will not absorb, whether because of size, concentration or the type of activity involved.
06How does a placement work?
In four stages, in that order: analysis of the business and of where the real economic exposure sits; mapping of capacity and appetite in the local and international markets; structuring of the transfer alternative that best fits the risk; and placement, negotiating with the reinsurers.
07How do I start an enquiry?
