David Gugerli explores the development of the continental reinsurance industry. He starts with a description of what was perceived to be a reinsurance crisis in the 1960s. Dwindling technical results in motor liability had to be compensated by investment returns. New unknown risks and risks of hitherto unimaginable sizes required know-how which was not readily available. Furthermore, the business of clients, the direct insurers, boomed and reduced their need for extra reinsurance cover. A look at the international meetings of the industry during this time reveals how they were struggling to deal with global challenges and began calling for an industry-wide organization. Against this background the author then sets out to describe the development of continental reinsurance from the mid nineteenth century on as a distinct business model and industry.
