PARTICIPANT
The Participant is the party to the transaction that is the primary risk
taker. They are generally either the insured company or an individual. In
most cases, the Participant will be responsible for expenses and losses that
are limited to a specified per occurrence amount, up to a program aggregate.
The Participant will be credited with underwriting profits or losses. The
Four Points Facility is a mechanism that legally enables the Participant to
operating under insurance company laws and regulations and therefore take
risk on a specific insurance transaction. |
