Abstract

This study undertakes an analysis of the risks in retakaful whether they are shared by the participating takaful operators (TOs) and retakaful fund, or are transferred to retakaful operators (RTOs). In the latter case RTOs become liable for deficits where the losses, if any, would directly affect all retained portfolios. The study finds, notwithstanding the aim of retakaful to allow TOs to reduce the financial impact on their respective takaful fund (TF) arising from catastrophic losses, that there exists a mismatch between the theory and current risk-sharing practice of retakaful whereby RTOs manage the TF on behalf of their respective participants. تُقدم الدراسة تحليلاً نقديًا للمخاطر في عملية إعادة التكافل سواء كانت مشتركة بين المؤسسات المشاركة في التكافل، وصندوق إعادة التكافل، أو يتم تحويلها إلى شركات إعادة التكافل؛ حيث تصبح هذه الشركات مسؤولة عن العجز وحيث أن الخسائر، إن وجدت، من شأنها أن تؤثر بشكل مباشر على جميع المحافظ الاستثمارية المحتجزة. تخلص الدراسة إلى أنه تمشيًا مع أهداف عمليات إعادة التكافل التي تسمح لمؤسسات إعادة التكافل بالتقليل أو التخفيف من الأثر المالي على صندوق التكافل الخاص بكل واحد منها الناشئة عن الخسائر الكارثية؛ لا يزال هناك تباين بين النظرية والممارسة الحالية لتقاسم المخاطر في صناعة إعادة التكافل؛ حيث الشركات في هذا القطاع تُدير صندوق التكافل نيابة عن المشاركين فيها.
