Import exposures from CEDE databases

Clients can import aggregated exposure data from CEDE databases into Touchstone Re company Exposure Sets.

Import > Exposure > CEDE Databases

This feature enables clients who license Touchstone Re, but not Touchstone Detailed Loss Analysis, the ability to take advantage of detailed CEDE company exposure data that they may receive in reinsurance submissions when UNICEDE/2 and/or CLF files are not available. The detailed exposure information in the CEDE is aggregated to a resolution that Touchstone Re's aggregate exposure modeling capabilities can use.

  1. Select Import > Exposure > CEDE Databases.
