This was the sixth session of the day from our Artemis London 2022 conference, held on September 6th, 2022.

The event was Artemis' first insurance-linked securities (ILS) conference held in the City of London and saw more than 240 attendees enjoy a wide-range of sessions and networking opportunities.

Themed largely around the catastrophe bond, attendees heard from expert speakers that have been in the sector for years, as well as newcomers with ideas of how to innovate the cat bond and ILS market going forwards.

Attendees came from as far afield as New Zealand, Hawaii, Asia, North and South America, Bermuda, as well as a large European contingent, plus as you’d expect numerous London marketplace leaders in ILS and reinsurance.

This sixth session from the event features a panel discussion on the subject of London as a hub for catastrophe bonds and insurance-linked securities (ILS)

The panel discussion was moderated by Des Potter, Special Advisor, Lloyd's.

He was joined by: Lisa Leaman, Head of Division, London Markets, Prudential Regulation Authority, Bank of England; Shireen Gammoh, Partner, Head of Strategic & Financial Analytics, Gallagher Re; and Philipp Kusche, Global Head of ILS & Capital Solutions, TigerRisk Capital Markets & Advisory.

The discussion focused on what is different about London's proposition, when it comes to catastrophe bonds and insurance-linked securities (ILS). It also covered opportunities the ILS market may be able to generate through closer and more direct trading with London based cedents and the Lloyd's marketplace.
