UK: A post-loss funding method based on an agreement between a (re)insurer and a bank (or other investor), whereby the latter will provide a loan or equity capital after the trigger event, e.g. windstorm, has occurred.

Continuous Contract
A reinsurance contract that does not terminate automatically but continues indefinitely unless one of the parties delivers notice of intent to terminate. Continuous contract should have an anniversary date to satisfy risk transfer requirements and notice of intent to terminate is usually required to be delivered a specified number of days (typically 90 days) prior to the anniversary date.
Contributing Excess
REINSURANCE: A form of excess of loss reinsurance where, in addition to its retention, the ceding company has a share of losses in excess of the retention. This form of reinsurance may also apply to subject polices written in excess of underlying insurance or self insured retentions where the reinsurance applies to a share of losses within the policies, with the ceding company or other reinsurers contributing the remaining share. When more than one reinsurer shares a line of insurance on a risk in excess of a specified retention, each reinsurer contributes towards any excess loss in proportion to its original participation in such risk.
