For this one of our sponsor showcase video interviews, for the upcoming Artemis ILS NYC 2022 conference (held April 22nd in New York City), we welcomed Rob Hauff, Portfolio Manager at Vesttoo, one of our Gold sponsors for the conference.

As ever, we’re looking at the development of the insurance-linked securities (ILS) market with one eye to the future, as is the way with Artemis’ ILS events. You can register for the event online here: https://www.artemis.bm/ils-nyc-2022/ 

Vesttoo is seeking to deliver investors a differentiated type and source of insurance-linked returns, with a non-catastrophe risk focus, innovative investor access points and the use of advanced technology to aid in modelling and structuring risks and investment opportunities. 

Hauff joined us to discuss how Vesttoo is helping to unlock new categories of risk for investors, through its work in creating artificial intelligence risk models and the recently developed Insurance Linked Program, or ILP. 

"Vesttoo's ultimate strategy is to become the marketplace where the need for reinsurance capacity marries up with the capital markets," Hauff explained. 

Adding that, "I think it's possible that as the reach improves, with the introduction of lower-volatility instruments that we offer, we could generate more consistent returns over-time and reach a broader audience of investors."
