Here's our latest Friday wrap-up of key news from the week.
The cat bond market is quiet, but we have hit a new milestone in the data we collect, with now 95 individual transactions listed in our Deal Directory in 2025, equalling the previous full-year record.

Florida Citizens is anticipating lower reinsurance costs in 2026, as its policy count and exposure-base has continued to decrease.

Swiss Re has made Charles Mixon the new Head of Business Development for all insurance-linked securities (ILS) capital raising activities under the Alternative Capital Partners (ACP) division.
In other stories this week, analysts at TD Cowen said London market firms consider ILS and alternative capital as largely peripheral, believing that it is traditional capital that drives most price pressure in the sector.
In an interview, Cahal Doris, Chief Investment Officer (CIO) Private ILS, at Twelve Securis suggested that ILS managers would be wrong to give away structural improvements at 1/1.
Shiv Kumar, President of GC Securities told us that for ILS to expand investors must be willing to partner more closely with cedents and provide solutions that address the full spectrum of their needs.
Executives Simon Harris and Charlotte Acton from Moody's told us catastrophe models are critical components for trading, particularly in the 144A format.
We also reported on a recent report that explains why investors should look more closely at fixed income assets and catastrophe bonds are highlighted as one impact investing opportunity within the segment.
Finally, if you haven't seen them, Artemis has a wealth of data and analytics on the catastrophe bond and broader ILS market. View our charts and Deal Directory.
