This interview, with Cory Anger, Managing Director and Liam Martens, Vice President, both from GC Securities, the capital markets division of reinsurance broker Guy Carpenter, features a discussion on the next generation of catastrophe bonds.

For this interview, with Cory Anger, Managing Director and Liam Martens, Vice President, both from GC Securities, the capital markets division of reinsurance broker Guy Carpenter, we discussed the next generation of catastrophe bonds.

The pair joined us as part of our virtual ILS NYC 2021 conference, to discuss where catastrophe bonds could gain broader market acceptance and uptake. 

As well as how insurance-linked securities (ILS) in general can play an increasingly important role in risk transfer and reinsurance markets. 

We discussed how the insurance-linked securities (ILS) market can assume a larger role in insurer and reinsurer capital stacks and what that would mean for insurance and reinsurance cedents.

Catastrophe bonds can become a more permanent piece of the insurance and reinsurance market's capital arrangements, the pair believe.

Which would see insurance-linked securities (ILS) becoming a form of permanent capital, that can be relied upon for evolving and growing insurance or reinsurance businesses.
