Kevin O'Donnell suggested that third-party capital is not likely to be the primary driver of pricing in 2026
Reinsurers' return comfort to drive 2026 cat pricing | | | 2026 pricing to be driven by return comfort, not third-party capital: RenRe CEO  Kevin J. O'Donnell, President and Chief Executive Officer of RenaissanceRe suggested that reinsurers will have more influence over pricing than third-party capital at the renewals. "Right now, I don't think third-party capital is going to be the driving influence on pricing in 2026. I think it's more about comfort with return levels within property cat, and I think, reinsurers having a little bit more confidence and a little bit more capital." The CEO continued: "Good news is we expect that the demand side, so there'll be more, will grow so there will be more property cat demand. So that said, the market will be slightly more favourable for buyers than for sellers, where I would say 2025 was a little bit better balanced, and that's the reason we're projecting roughly a 10% reduction in property catastrophe rates."
