Licensed Reinsurance Brokers in Kenya
Reinsurance brokers play a vital role in the insurance sector by acting as intermediaries between primary insurance companies and reinsurance providers. They help insurers manage risk more efficiently by structuring reinsurance programs that reduce exposure to large or catastrophic losses.
These brokers provide a wide range of specialized services including:
- Treaty evaluations and placement
- Dynamic reinsurance structuring
- Claims and portfolio management
- Catastrophe modeling
- Capacity-building and actuarial advisory
- Reinsurance program optimization
- Rating consultation
In Kenya, all reinsurance brokers must be licensed by the Insurance Regulatory Authority (IRA). As of 2025, the IRA has approved 33 reinsurance brokers to operate within the country.
