For example, the insured might elect a loss limitation of 50,000, which would mean that would be the maximum limit of any one loss that would go into the retrospective calculation.

Excess of Average Loss

Excess of loss ratio reinsurance where the excess point is recalculated annually as a moving average of the loss ratio experienced over an agreed number of preceding years and the ceding company is required to bear an agreed share of any loss in excess of that average.
