MELBOURNE, Australia--Insurance Australia Group Ltd. (IAG.AU)
has extended a quota-sharing agreement with Munich Re that covers
30% of the Australian general insurer's compulsory third-party
business.
The new pact, which will run for at least four years with an
option for a further two years, extended the existing agreement for
business written in New South Wales state and the Australian
Capital Territory, and adds South Australia state where one of
IAG's brands began as an underwriter in July.
The original agreement, which took effect from July 1 2013 for a
minimum three years, was designed to improve IAG's capital
efficiency. IAG said that before the deal, compulsory third-party
coverage represented less than 10% of its gross written premium but
about a quarter of its regulatory capital requirement.
The agreement with the German reinsurance firm operates
alongside a 10-year quota share deal IAG began with Berkshire
Hathaway Inc. in mid-2015. In all, 50% of IAG's compulsory
third-party business is subject to quota sharing, it said.
