About CATEX
The Catastrophe Risk Exchange, Inc. (CATEX) was formed in 1994 and is licensed by the New York Insurance Department as a reinsurance intermediary that acts in a neutral capacity. The company owns and operates the CATEX Global Exchange which permits parties to buy and sell reinsurance and to transact reciprocal reinsurance swaps. The CATEX Global Exchange is buttressed by the 100% web based Pivot Point Insurance and Reinsurance Transaction Systems each of which provide full cycle transaction management for the reinsurance underwriter, broker or MGA.

The Pivot Point Systems may be licensed independently or accessed via the CATEX Global Exchange. Every day, on five continents, over 120 brokers, insurers, reinsurers, MGA’s or "sidecars" have contact with or transact business through a CATEX system. Premium sums in excess of $4 billion are put through CATEX systems each year and the total is rapidly increasing.

CATEX operates CATEXTV.com a live Internet based news channel through which it communicates news and reinsurance claim related information daily to its thousands of system users worldwide.

The award winning web based Pivot Point Reinsurance and Insurance Transaction system has been completely redesigned using exclusively Microsoft .Net technology. The new technical capabilities of Pivot Point 2.0 become apparent to the user immediately when encountering the expanded richness and sophistication of displayed data upon login.

The .Net redesign was accomplished with the assistance of hundreds of Pivot Point users. The system has been vastly streamlined. The input from the user base, when combined with the .Net Microsoft technology, permit the elimination of the walls between the so called front office and the back office. This new transparency permits brokers and underwriters to instantly view the financial performance of a brokered or underwritten piece of business.

All of the data collected by Pivot Point is brought forward. Should a user possess authorization they will be able to see in one glance the history of a placement, including the entire price negotiation; the record of payment; the claim experience; the specific balance sheet effect of the transaction and how the transaction sits within its line of business or book performance per broker, market or client. Pivot Point 2.0.Net displays all of this information in one view.

If you are already using Pivot Point you will find the features of Pivot Point 2.0 .Net to be intuitive and easy to use. If you are not yet using Pivot Point and want to see a demo of the new system please contact us.

What they are saying...

"Pivot Point 2.0 smashes the walls between front and back office. My brokers can know the value to our own company of each piece of business they are trying to place. We are light years ahead of where we were and where our competitors are."
Senior Vice President, US based reinsurance broker

"The shortened process – by merging the placement and clearing functions – means no data re-keying and less chance of human error. 2.0 will stand up to any compliance audit."
UK based CIO

"The client market extranet in Pivot Point 2.0 brings electronic banking-like simplicity to our own clients and can keep us ahead of our competition."
Lead placement broker, UK

"The 2.0 reporting functions (Mosaic) rely on the already integrated Pivot Point database. The Mosaic tools will allow our IT people to write their own reports in real time to access the Pivot Point 2.0 data warehouse. We can have faster reports on our own data and save money on consulting fees that we normally would incur in trying to retrieve our own data."
CEO, US based reinsurance broker

Don't rely on these quotes alone. Following a Pivot Point 2.0 .Net demonstration, and execution of an NDA, we will make these reviewers available to you and you can speak to them yourself. Pivot Point 2.0 .Net is transforming reinsurance. It can transform your business too.
