Numerous benefits of an above-average rating

We have a better showing of business than the average player
• Not excluded from virtually any business/access to all lines of business
• We enjoy a highly diversified, high quality book of business


We are on virtually all broker lists,
with cedents often demanding specific R/Is
We get very high allocations when we quote for business
• >90% vs. some 50% for a Bermuda start-up

We create lower capital charges for our cedents
• "AA" range S&P capital charge on reinsurance recoverables = 0.8%
("A" = 1.4%, BBB = 3.1%)
• As an above-average rated R/I, we "minimise" our cedents' cost of capital

Our cost of financing in the capital markets is lower
• Hybrid bonds trade at tighter spreads
• Better conditions for LoCs and credit lines
We might not (yet) get paid extra for our better rating on a
contract level, but other advantages are significant
