This third podcast from our ILS NYC 2024 conference features a panel discussion focused on the private side of the insurance-linked securities (ILS) market where collateralized reinsurance protections are written and invested in, titled: Collateralized Re & Retro - Creating consistency and coverage.

He was joined by: Laura Taylor, President, Nephila Holdings Ltd.; Chris McKeown, Chief Executive, Reinsurance, ILS & Innovation, Vantage Risk; and Paul Larrett, Chief Underwriting Officer, Securis Investment Partners.

The discussion focused on the collateralized reinsurance and retrocession markets, exploring what has changed in recent years after the challenging losses face and how the ILS market can continue to expand this segment and remain a key provider of reinsurance and retro capacity in collateralized formats.

The panellists also explored the importance of delivering certainty to cedents, through the forms of coverage that are available in today's hard reinsurance marketplace.

Capital management and how collateral flows within the industry was also a key topic for discussion, with panellists explaining steps taken to improve the deployment, management and use of reinsurance collateral, to benefit both cedents and investors.
