108: Catastrophe bonds - A celebration of 25 years - Artemis London 2022 Session 1

This was the first session of the day from our Artemis London 2022 conference, held on September 6th, 2022.  The event was Artemis' first insurance-linked securities (ILS) conference held in the City of London and saw more than 240 attendees enjoy a wide-range of sessions and networking opportunities.  Themed largely around the catastrophe bond, attendees heard from expert speakers that have been in the sector for years, as well as newcomers with ideas of how to innovate the cat bond and ILS market going forwards.  Attendees came from as far afield as New Zealand, Hawaii, Asia, North and South America, Bermuda, as well as a large European contingent, plus as you’d expect numerous London marketplace leaders in ILS and reinsurance.  This first video from the event features Michael Millette, Founder & Managing Partner, Hudson Structured Capital Management, who gave a keynote speech on the catastrophe bond market to celebrate 25 years of its development.  During his keynote Millette said, “It’s important to have this conference now and to commemorate 25 years because the cat market, the cat bond market, and the broader reinsurance market, are all wrestling with and reconsidering some aspects of their structure in light of the difficult experience of the last five years. So, it’s a good time to take stock.”  He was then joined on stage by Alan Punter, NED, Occam Underwriting, where the pair discussed 25 landmark catastrophe bond deals from across the first 25 years of the cat bond market.
