Italian term

conservato

Italian to English Other Insurance
"Eccesso sinistri: priorità su ns. **conservato**"

This is the heading of a list of amounts in a table of "reinsurance treaties". The amounts refer to the various lines of insurance, such as accident, health, transportation, etc.

Thanks for any ideas.

what we have kept

There may be a more technical term, or there may not. When an insurance company reinsures it is passing out the risk on its policies, but it won't pass it all out. It will keep some of it, the amount it can afford to lose.
Wiki seems to give a fair and detailed explanation.

I forgot the link, which is just general on reinsurance.

What about "retained risk", which seems to be in use?

Yes it would definitely seem to be the term.

Note from asker:
Hi Jim, thanks for your answer. Which explanation are you referring to in Wikipedia? I agree that this is the meaning, the trouble is I have to find something a little bit more snappy, as I have to put in a table that just says "quota conservato" too...
Later last night, I actually came up with "retention" and found confirmation for it in the Guy Carpenter reinsurance glossary, so I think either "retained risk" or "retention" would work - thanks!
