Why Cedents Still Buy Reinsurance Blind | TRP #169
In this episode, hosts Jared and Ben talk with Tom about why cedents (insurance companies buying reinsurance) still often purchase reinsurance "blind" and how SuperSeed’s technology is changing that. They explain the historical reliance on big‑bang, multi‑year tech projects and the shift toward lightweight, audit‑ready platforms that give cedents real‑time visibility into broker activity and placement data.
