    200: Catastrophe bonds - Sustaining momentum as relevance grows: Artemis London 2025
    Oct 23 2025
    This episode features the second panel discussion of the day at Artemis London 2025, a session focused on the catastrophe bond market segment, from our fourth cat bond and insurance-linked securities (ILS) conference in the City of London, UK, held on September 2nd 2025.

    The panel, titled Catastrophe bonds: Sustaining momentum as relevance grows, was moderated by Tanja Wrosch, Executive Director, Cat Bond Portfolio Manager, Twelve Securis.

    She was joined by: Joe Tolen, Senior Investment Director, Credit Investment Group, Cambridge Associates; Gina Hardy, CEO, North Carolina Insurance Underwriting Association (NCIUA), North Carolina Joint Underwriting Association (NCJUA); Andre Rzym, Partner and Portfolio Manager, Man AHL; and Andy Palmer, Head ILS Structuring EMEA & APAC, Swiss Re Capital Markets.

    Our expert speakers discussed the growth of the market as well as potential challenges in sustaining that through different and increasingly competitive reinsurance market conditions.

    The need for efficient market processes was highlighted, as well as a desire to continue attracting and supporting new cat bond sponsors, including corporates and governments.

    The panellists also recognised that cat bonds and other ILS can still be a difficult sell to investors, with education and transparency remaining critical, while communication with sponsors was also highlighted.

    The discussion also covered the impact of ESMA’s recommendations on UCITS asset eligibility and how this might affect the cat bond market over-time, as well as the potential for product innovations in the catastrophe bond space.

    Listen to this full podcast episode from our Artemis London 2025 conference to learn more about the state of play in the catastrophe bond marketplace.

  • 199: Reinsurance dynamic, competitive yet reasonably disciplined: Urs Baertschi, Swiss Re

    199: Reinsurance dynamic, competitive yet reasonably disciplined: Urs Baertschi, Swiss Re
    Oct 17 2025
    Our sister publication Reinsurance News spoke with Urs Baertschi, Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Property & Casualty (P&C) Reinsurance at industry giant Swiss Re in the run up to the annual Monte Carlo Rendez-vous event to discuss his view of the market and outlook to end of year renewals.

    Baertschi said the reinsurance industry has been operating reasonably efficiently in 2025 and has shown resilience to large losses like the Los Angeles wildfires in January.

    “When you look at the supply and demand side, there's plenty of capital here to match up with the risks that the industry is facing. And then when you look at the behaviour of the various market participants, it is still reasonably disciplined. It is a dynamic and a competitive market, but it's still reasonably disciplined,” said Baertschi.

    During the interview, Baertschi also commented on the January 1st, 2026, reinsurance renewals, noting that while it is too early to predict as a lot can still happen between now and year-end, he expects the current environment around discipline and wordings to persist.

    Listen to this podcast episode to hear more from Urs Baertschi of Swiss Re on the state of the market, the end of year reinsurance renewal outlook and Swiss Re's priorities going forwards.
