Abstract: In this paper we study a specific type of structured reinsurance deals, for which the indemnification scheme is contingent upon the performance of the cedent, for instance measured in terms of his loss ratio compared to the average loss ratio of the market. We show that this type of deals may be efficiently used to manage risk in the presence of financial distress cost when the cover is provided to a cohort of insurers with positively correlated loss experience. In addition to theoretical results we quantitatively illustrate the potential performance improvement in a numerical example.
