This group discussion was held during our ILS NYC 2021 conference, to explore the expansion of the insurance-linked securities (ILS) asset class to cover a broader range of perils.

We welcomed: Yaniv Bertele, Co-Founder & CEO of Vesttoo Ltd.; Thibaut Adam, Managing Director, Citi; Kenny Durbin, Senior Vice President, Guy Carpenter; and Matt Beard, Managing Director, Guy Carpenter. 

The panel joined us to explore areas of potential insurance-linked securities (ILS) market expansion as part of our ILS NYC 2021 virtual conference. 

We talked about the opportunities for capital market investors in areas of risk outside of the more typical property catastrophe exposures that are commonplace in ILS markets. 

We also explored the potential for technology such as artificial intelligence to enable and facilitate the transfer of longer-tailed risks to the capital markets, as well as where the ILS market is going in terms of non-CAT risk investments. 

Specific segments explored included casualty lines of business, specialty risks, as well as life and health related exposures. 

The investor appetite for a broader range of reinsurance perils in insurance-linked securities (ILS) format was also discussed.
