Carpenter Plan ( Spread Loss Cover, Spread Loss Reinsurance)
Form of excess of loss reinsurance under which each year's reinsurance premium is determined by the amount of the cedent's excess losses for a given period of time, usually three or five years. Upon renewal, the first year's initial rate is based on the total of three or five years of previous experience, a form of retrospective rating. The Carpenter Plan is particularly relevant to economic conditions in the way it handles the factor of inflation.
