French term
génération
French to English
Law/Patents
Insurance
This word comes up several times in a retrocession treaty with a reinsurer of life insurance. Specifically, in the dividend (profit sharing clause):
La clause de participation aux bénéfices prévue à l’article xx du Traité est supprimée pour la génération 2001.
And again:
x et y acceptent de négocier de bonne foi une clause de participation bénéficiaire pour les générations 2002 et suivantes.
And Pour les années de génération 1996 à 1998 inclusivement, xx agira comme apériteur.
I think it might be referring to the profit generated but I'm not sure.
Thanks!

cohort
I think cohort is used more widely in insurance
https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/cohort
See here:
https://home.kpmg/xx/en/home/insights/2018/02/ifrs17-transit...
Group of insurance contracts (level of aggregation)
An insurer identifies portfolios of insurance contracts. It divides each portfolio into a minimum of:
a group of contracts that are onerous on initial recognition, if there are any;
a group of contracts that, on initial recognition, have no significant possibility of becoming onerous subsequently, if there are any; and
a group of any remaining contracts in the portfolio.
An insurer divides each portfolio into annual cohorts, or cohorts consisting of periods of less than one year.

: I don't know whether one is used more widely than the other, but both exist in both languages and are synonymous in this context. So why not follow the source text?/"I have never seen..." OK. See discussion box.

For the simple reason I have never seen "generation" used in this way/ context and I've translated and reviewed lots of insurance documents
