In [[Definition:Reinsurance | reinsurance]], Aon structures and negotiates placements for [[Definition:Insurance carrier | insurers]] seeking to manage [[Definition:Peak risk | peak risks]], optimize [[Definition:Capital management | capital]], and comply with [[Definition:Solvency | solvency]] requirements.

🌐 As one of a handful of firms — alongside [[Definition:Marsh McLennan | Marsh McLennan]] and [[Definition:Willis Towers Watson | Willis Towers Watson]] — that dominate global insurance distribution, Aon wields substantial influence over market dynamics, capacity allocation, and innovation adoption.
