This episode features the first panel session of the day at our Artemis London 2024 conference, which was held on September 3rd.

It was our third in-person conference in London focused on catastrophe bonds, insurance-linked securities (ILS), alternative capital and reinsurance-linked investment trends.

The first panel of the day was titled "Efficiently accessing returns in the Lloyd's & London market."

Participants discussed the various ways that investors and allocators can access insurance and reinsurance-linked returns from the Lloyd's and London insurance marketplace.

Moderating the session was: Des Potter, Special Advisor, Lloyd's.

Joining him as panellists were: John Francis, Head of Research, Hampden Insurance Partners; Kate Tongue, Executive Director, Argenta Private Capital Ltd.; John Cavanagh, Chairman, Beat Capital Partners; and Bill Cooper, Managing Director, Howden Capital Markets & Advisory.

As well as discussing more traditional routes to support Lloyd's syndicates with capital and access returns from insurance and reinsurance underwriting in the Lloyd's and London marketplace, the panel also discussed new initiatives such as the London Bridge structures and ILS style mechanisms to access risk-linked returns more directly.
