This video features an expert panel discussing finding balance for sponsors and investors in the catastrophe bond segment of the insurance-linked securities (ILS) market at our Artemis ILS NYC 2025 conference, which was held in New York on February 7th 2025.
ILS NYC 2025 was Artemis’ eighth catastrophe bond and insurance-linked securities (ILS) conference held in-person in New York and saw more than 425 registered attendees enjoying insightful debates from our expert speakers, as well as valuable networking opportunities throughout the day.
Attendees from across the globe assembled to hear thought-provoking insights from insurance-linked securities (ILS) market leaders, all under the theme of “Capturing opportunities (established & new).”
Our latest video from the Artemis ILS NYC 2025 conference features the third panel discussion of the day, which was focused on the catastrophe bond market, titled: Catastrophe bonds – Finding market balance, for sponsors and investors.
The panel discussion was moderated by Philipp Kusche, Global Head of ILS, Howden Capital Markets & Advisory.
He was joined by: Zhak Cohen, Managing Director, Gallatin Point Capital; Jennifer Montero, Chief Financial Officer, Citizens Property Insurance Corporation; Chin Liu, Director – Insurance Linked Securities, Fixed Income Solutions, Amundi US; and Peter Miller, Senior Vice President, Neuberger Berman.
Significant growth is forecast for the catastrophe bond market, with the panellists stating that they believe 2025 could be another record year for issuance.
Investors emphasised the importance of long-term profitability and the need for rate and premiums to remain adequate for the risks being assumed through catastrophe bonds.
Sponsors on the panel also shared their experiences, noting the difficulty in securing full capacity requirements at times and so the importance of strategic planning and management of the cat bond pipeline.
