The covers have been set to 67.5% to highlight IAG’s whole-of-account quota share deals.

IAG chief financial officer Michelle McPherson said: “IAG has now renewed all four whole-of-account quota share reinsurance arrangements with leading global reinsurers.

“The 32.5% quota share arrangements are an important part of IAG’s capital structure, providing certainty for the next five to seven years.”

“The quota share arrangements have been renewed providing materially consistent financial outcomes and are particularly valuable in a challenging reinsurance market. These arrangements cover 32.5% of all gross claims costs, meaning we are only required to purchase 67.5% of the main catastrophe programme in global reinsurance markets.”

The latest development comes shortly after IAG’s Intermediated Insurance Australia subsidiary CGU Insurance announced the beginning of its collaboration with ANZ to provide its retail banking clients with general insurance solutions.
