Tom Johansmeyer, Head of PCS, a Verisk business, joined us during our ILS NYC 2021 virtual conference to discuss the important role of the industry-loss trigger in insurance-linked securities (ILS) and catastrophe bonds. He shared his thoughts on how use of the industry-loss trigger structure may evolve over the next few years in catastrophe bonds, ILS and reinsurance. He also provided some outlook on cat bond market activity and ILS for the coming year, as well as how such structures can become increasingly important to those seeking reinsurance or retrocessional protection. Tom also shared some thoughts on basis risk in reinsurance more generally with us, discussing how cedents generally consider this.
