    This section describes the products whose main aim is risk financing. In 5.3 it explains that they can be categorised in two types: pre-funded and post-funded.
    This section is followed by five more specific types. My concern is whether we can classify these five types within the two above:
    • Time & distance deals are obviously pre-funded.
    • Spread-loss covers are likely to be prefunded but can they be considered as post-funded in the case of a trigger event occurring in the earlier part of the multiyear contract?
    • Financial quota share seem to be post-funded.
    • Structured finance do not seem to fall within any category since they are not necessarily sold to insurance companies.
    • Industry loss warranties are also pre-funded.
    Is this interpretation correct?

    I think the point here is that depending precisely on how they are structured most types of financial reinsurance can either be pre or post funded although there is a tendency for certain types to be one or the other as a general rule.
