Reinsurance is a practice where insurance companies transfer a portion of their risk to other insurers to reduce their potential losses and stabilize their finances. It allows primary insurers to take on larger policies while mitigating exposure to catastrophic events. Coinsurance, on the other hand, is an arrangement in which two or more insurers share the coverage of a policyholder's risk, with each insurer covering a specified percentage of the claim. This helps distribute risk among multiple parties, ensuring that no single insurer bears the entire burden of a loss.

Facultative reinsurance and coinsurance?
Facultative reinsurance is a form of reinsurance in which the terms, conditions, and reinsurance premium is individually negotiated between the insurer and the reinsurer. There is no obligation on the reinsurer to accept the risk or on the insurer to reinsure it if it is not considered necessary. The main differences between facultative reinsurance and coinsurance is that the policyholder has no indication that reinsurance has been arranged. In coinsurance, the coinsurers and the proportion of the risk they are covering are shown on the policy schedule. Also, coinsurance involves the splitting of the premium charged to the policyholder between the coinsurers, whereas the reinsurers charge entirely separate reinsurance premiums.
