摘要： A Horizontally-Linked Reinsurance Network (HLRN) formed of a plurality of small insurance companies (as defined by applicable law, e.g. U.S.C. §831(b)) that is established and managed by a network administrator presents a new approach to harnessing the benefits of small insurance companies while mitigating the drawbacks of small insurance companies. This system uses a rules-based approach and algorithm to select, allocate, optimize and manage the individual risk portfolio of independent small insurance companies so as to preserve their status as a small insurance company while diversifying risk. Further, network administrator will perform the management functions if the HLRN. This allows investors or persons who would not otherwise own an insurance company to invest in a new asset class which by its nature demonstrates a non-correlation to traditional investment markets and carries both unique return and tax properties.
