- Casualty sidecars emerging as third pillar, sponsors urged to act: HCMA
Executives at Howden Capital Markets & Advisory (HCMA) have indicated that as traditional casualty capacity remains constrained, casualty sidecars are becoming a genuine third pillar alongside traditional reinsurance and the balance-sheet, moving beyond being a specialty product for a select number of sophisticated investors.
- US property claims severity and costs rising, even with stable designated cat events: Verisk
Property insurance claims severity and costs are rising in the United States, even during periods where the number of catastrophe events designated were stable. Verisk’s latest data shows the second-quarter of 2026 could become one of the most costly for insurers on an average property claims cost basis.
- Twelve Securis sees demand for blended liquid cat bond and private ILS portfolios: Doris
As the catastrophe bond market continues to expand and create further opportunities in the ILS market, there is also a growing demand being seen for portfolios that combine liquid cat bonds with carefully selected private ILS exposures, which according to Twelve Securis’ Cahal Doris, gives investors greater control over liquidity, diversification and risk-return objectives.
- Deploying ILS capital into cyber, AI, data centres requires right fund structures: Albertini, Leadenhall
As cyber, data centres and artificial intelligence (AI) generate new material cumulations of risk, matching ILS capital to these emerging exposures requires the right fund structures to unlock investor capacity without compromising core portfolio value, Leadenhall Capital Partners CEO Luca Albertini highlighted.
- Investors should consider ILS for diversification and strong risk-return profile: PGGM’s Takken-Somers
Institutional investors that have not yet chosen to allocate capital into insurance-linked securities (ILS) should be considering to do so given the diversification benefits that it offers, as well as its attractive risk-return profile, according to Eveline Takken-Somers, Head of Insurance Linked Investments, PGGM.
- ILS should be seen as a source of ‘strategic possibility’ not just capital: Aeolus’ Dutt
Aditya Dutt, President of Aeolus Capital Management, has indicated that the re/insurance industry is not making full use of the insurance-linked securities (ILS) investor base by treating the market as just a source of capital, where it should also be viewing it as a source of “strategic possibility”.
