Funded Cover
Transaction in which the ceding company pays a premium and is guaranteed certain future payments to fund future losses. If losses are less than was expected, the ceding company receives a profit commission. Conversely, if catastrophic losses are occurring at a faster rate than the investment return earned on the premium, the ceding company will not receive its full recovery on its reinsurance.
