This was the fourth session of the day at our Artemis London 2023 insurance-linked securities (ILS) market conference, held on September 5th in London, UK.

Around 240 attendees enjoyed a busy day of thoughtful catastrophe bond and insurance-linked securities (ILS) focused discussion from industry experts, as well as valuable networking opportunities.

This session features an expert panel discussing the need to sustain returns, across both catastrophe bonds and private ILS such as collateralized reinsurance, and ideas as to how that can be achieved.

The panel discussion was moderated by: Philipp Kusche, Global Head of ILS, Howden Tiger Capital Markets & Advisory.

He was joined on stage by: Florian Steiger, Head of Cat Bonds, Twelve Capital; Hervé Castella, Chief Third Party Capital Officer, SCOR; Marco della Giacoma, Portfolio Manager, Tenax Capital; and Michael Rich, Head ILS, Commodities & Environmental Strategies, K2 Advisors.

The panellists spoke about the evident diversification benefits that allocations to ILS have exhibited for investors over the last few years, saying that the lack of correlation remains a key driver for investor capital inflows to the sector.

They also explored how investor sentiment is evolving in the catastrophe bond space, as well as more broadly for investments into private ILS such as collateralized reinsurance arrangements.
