TAMPA, Fla., Nov. 27, 2018 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- The North Atlantic hurricane season, combined with California wildfires, led to $144 billion in losses for the reinsurance industry in 2017.(1) Nonetheless, even with a total estimated insured loss of more than $2.1 billion from last month's Hurricane Michael,(2) the reinsurance industry is expected, as usual, to turn a profit.(3) New JoTo PR client Ted Blanch, a reinsurance industry veteran for decades and CEO of reinsurance firm COIN Re, says the reason for this is that the reinsurance market is heavily tilted in favor of reinsurers, who possess significant advantages in terms of size and the ability to negotiate rates.
This, says Blanch, has led to an economic imbalance between frictional costs and value received by the clients served. To help even the playing field, COIN Re plans to align with clients and collectively provide client investors with ownership of more than 50% of the company—which will result in improved reinsurance program pricing, lowered frictional costs, and lower insurance premiums for consumers.
COIN Re was founded in 2018 under the leadership of E.W. "Ted" Blanch. After joining E.W. Blanch & Co. in 1958 he became CEO in 1977 and held the position until 2000. He formed Ted Blanch & Associates as a consultancy to the reinsurance industry.
