Matthew Fried May 8   READ IN APP   Here's something you should know about fat loss: You don't 𝑛𝑒𝑒𝑑 to go 'low-carb' in order to lose fat. What governs fat loss is 𝐭𝐨𝐭𝐚𝐥 𝐜𝐚𝐥𝐨𝐫𝐢𝐜 𝐛𝐚𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞. Not total carb intake. But, you don't have to believe a word I say. Go ahead and ask ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini, or all 3, and see what they say for yourself. Can some people benefit from an ultra-low-carb or ketogenic diet? Yes - 𝑠𝑜𝑚𝑒 - but not most. While you do that, I'll keep eating my balanced diet of healthy foods that are a blend of proteins, fats, and carbohydrates ... ... including bananas, oatmeals, rice, pasta, fruits, vegetables, plus occasional servings of cookies, chocolate, and ice cream ... ... along with my chicken, eggs, steak, fish, nuts, & avocados ... ... and I'll be here for your thoughts in the comments when you get back. ⚡️ Coach Matt Men’s Group • LinkedIn • Instagram • X   Like Comment Restack   © 2026 Matthew Fried 548 Market Street PMB 72296, San Francisco, CA 94104 Unsubscribe

This week we launched Super Early Bird tickets for our next conference. Artemis London 2026 is being held on Sept 1st, register soon to secure the lowest rate attendance. In the catastrophe bond market this week, new deals added to the pipeline were: SCOR's Atlas Capital 2026-1; the California Earthquake Authority's Sutter Re 2026-1; Allstate's Florida-focused Sanders Re III 2026-2; Korean Re's Solomon Re 2026-1; and the US Coastal insurer's Chartwell Re 2026-1. In addition, USAA completed sponsorship of its largest ever cat bond, the $825m ResRe 2026-1. Swiss Re is targeting lower pricing for its latest $250m Matterhorn Re cat bond. Mapfre Re secured $200m of retro from its latest Recoletos cat bond. People's Trust secured its targeted $100m of reinsurance from its debut GWS Re cat bond. While Spinnaker is also seeking to reduce the pricing for its second Mountain Re cat bond. Roberta Casali of the Asian Development Bank said the ADB's first cat bond issuances "pave the way" for more in future. In other stories this week, Berkshire Hathaway CEO Greg Abel said the company is being cautious as property reinsurance softens. Experts at our recent roundtable event in Bermuda noted surging cat bond issuance and expanding investor appetites. Hiscox Capital Partners raised a meaningful $1bn, largely for its cat bond strategy, taking its AUM to a new high of $2.4bn. The PGGM / PFZW ILS portfolio delivered a 12.4% return in USD in 2025 and grew slightly to US $8.904bn. The government of Portugal is considering cat bonds as an option to boost the countries disaster resilience. Two of Nephila Capital's syndicates are supporting a new MS Amlin led consortium that will have a focus on data centre opportunities. ILS funds were up 0.67% in March and demonstrated the diversifying value of the asset class, ILS Advisors said. Cat bond market yields rose through April as seasonal spread widening accelerated a little, Plenum Investments reported.
