Excess of Loss Pricing: Optimizing XoL Treaty Economics
XoL treaty pricing requires balancing attachment point, limit, and premium to match expected loss profiles. AI pricing models optimize these complex decisions.
Excess of Loss (XoL) reinsurance pricing is more art than science. Underwriters must balance multiple dimensions: attachment point, limit, premium, expected loss ratio, volatility, and market positioning. AI pricing models are enabling more disciplined, profitable XoL pricing decisions.
XoL Pricing Complexity
Traditional XoL pricing starts with loss analysis and market quotes, then uses intuition and negotiation to determine final terms. This approach misses optimization opportunities and can lead to mispricing in both directions: leaving money on the table or underpricing to win business.
AI-Powered XoL Optimization
AI models analyze XoL treaties across multiple dimensions simultaneously. They model how different attachment points and limits change expected loss profiles, estimate correlation between this layer and portfolio aggregate exposure, test hundreds of pricing options against ROE targets, and recommend optimal terms. A Munich reinsurer improved XoL profitability by 28%.

Quota Share vs. XoL Optimization
AI helps reinsurers choose between quota share and XoL for specific cedents and lines. This strategic optimization ensures capital is allocated to the most profitable structures, improving overall ROE.
Conclusion
XoL pricing benefits from AI-powered optimization that considers multiple dimensions simultaneously. Reinsurers using AI for XoL pricing achieve better profitability while remaining competitive in market share and pricing discipline.
