Listen Later

Swiss Re Reinsurance Solutions was launched two years ago to make Swiss Re’s unique knowledge and tools available across the insurance value chain.

Swiss Re’s strongest point of knowledge is property - around which we centre this podcast. Robin Merttens spoke to CEO of Reinsurance Solutions Russell Higginbotham on approaching climate-related risks in the insurance industry as well as managing the balance between data accuracy and inclusivity of insurance products for customers.

Key talking points:

  • The implication of climate change on property insurance
  • If you are running an insurer now - what should you be focusing on?
  • What should the whole ecosystem be doing with climate change? Planning the future
  • Understanding ‘uninsurability’ 
  • Partnerships with Google X, the moonshot factory and acquiring Fathom
  • If you like what you're hearing, please leave us a review on whichever platform you use or contact Matthew Grant on LinkedIn.
