Capacity & partnerships

A disciplined chain from risk to capacity.

International surety depends on more than nominal capacity. The issuer, reinsurer, wording, claims responsibilities and local legal route must function as one structure.

Discuss a structure

Partner or carrier names, ratings and transaction limits are only confirmed when current, approved for disclosure and relevant to a specific placement.

Our model

Capacity is only useful when it can be deployed correctly.

Titanium can assess international risk while respecting the role of the locally authorised issuing insurer.

Depending on the jurisdiction and transaction, Titanium may act within its own permitted insurance scope or participate behind another insurer through an approved reinsurance arrangement. The chosen route must be lawful, documented and acceptable to every regulated party.

No public description of a partnership creates a commitment. Capacity is transaction specific and remains subject to underwriting, documentation, sanctions, counterparty approval and availability.

Partner-led issuance

How a cross-border structure can work.

This is an illustrative framework only. The exact contractual chain varies by market and transaction.

01

Applicant & broker

Provide the underlying risk, financial information, required wording and local beneficiary criteria.

02

Local issuing insurer

Issues the policy or bond where authorised, retains responsibility to the beneficiary and satisfies local rules.

03

Titanium & approved capacity

Participate only through agreed insurance or reinsurance contracts, subject to licence scope and approvals.

04

Ongoing control

Exposure, changes, claims, collateral, reporting and recoveries are managed under the agreed documentation.

Segregated portfolio company

Purpose-built legal architecture.

An SPC is a single Cayman legal entity that can establish segregated portfolios, with statutory separation of assets and liabilities between portfolios under Cayman law.

The structure can support controlled participation by different capacity sources or programmes. It does not remove the need for underwriting, capital, governance, reinsurance, accounting or regulatory oversight, and it is not itself a financial-strength rating or guarantee of payment.

Partnership standards

What we expect from a durable placement.

  • Clear regulatory status and authority for each participant
  • Transparent risk information and aligned underwriting decisions
  • Agreed policy, reinsurance and claims documentation
  • Proportionate retention, security and collateral arrangements
  • Reliable premium, bordereaux and exposure reporting
  • Defined notification, claims control and recovery responsibilities
  • Current sanctions, AML and counterparty due diligence
  • No use of a partner's name or rating without public-disclosure approval

Questions on structure

What partnership does—and does not—mean.

Does access to a local insurer mean a risk is accepted?

No. Issuer access and risk approval are separate. The local insurer, Titanium and any other capacity participant make decisions under their own authority and documentation.

Does reinsurance change the beneficiary’s policy?

Normally the beneficiary’s contract remains with the issuing insurer. Reinsurance allocates risk between insurers and does not replace the issuer’s obligations under the policy.

Are capacity limits available on the website?

No. Limits and retentions can change by applicant, product, wording, country, tenor, security and available capacity. They are only confirmed through a specific underwriting process.
