Explanation:
Placement of cover (insurance) - Where a broker effects an insurance or reinsurance contract with underwriters on behalf of its client.

Dictionary of Insurance Terms
private placement
technique used by insurance companies in the purchasing of debt obligations of corporations as a means to: (1) avoid the uncertainties of the market; (2) replace market negotiations with private negotiations; and (3) avoid Securities and Exchange Commission restrictions.

Dictionary of Insurance Terms
direct placement
security sold by the issuer of the security directly to the purchasing financial institution without the inclusion of the investment banker in this process. Insurance companies are frequent purchasers of securities in this way. Only the largest firms with the highest credit ratings are able to issue these types of securities. The issuer avoids the uncertainty of the market through these private negotiations.
