The study aims to offer an authoritative review and analysis of the ILS asset class and related developments in the market . This report is intended to be an important and useful reference document, both for ILS market participants and those with an active interest in the sector . Unless otherwise stated, its analyses cover the 12-month period ending June 30, 2019, during which time the market was uniquely tested . The period under review has been educational for market participants, as well as reassuring due to impaired bonds responding as designed . In the wake of 2017 and 2018, the suite of ILS transactions (i e. cat bonds, sidecars, collateralized reinsurance and industry loss warranties), and the mechanisms by which they respond, have been under the spotlight to a degree not seen before in the ILS market . USD5 4. billion of catastrophe bond issuance was secured in this period, and ILS capital in place has contracted from USD98 billion to USD93 billion .

  • The Contribution of Reinsurance Markets to Managing Catastrophe Risk
    The Contribution of Reinsurance Markets to Managing Catastrophe Risk Please cite this publication as: OECD (2018), The Contribution of Reinsurance Markets to Managing Catastrophe Risk, www.oecd.org/finance/the-contribution-of-reinsurance-markets-to-managing-catastrophe-risk.pdf. FOREWORD │ 3 Foreword Disasters present a broad range of human, social, financial, economic and environmental impacts, with potentially long-lasting, multi-generational effects. The financial management of these impacts is a key challenge for individuals, businesses and governments in developed and developing countries. Insurance markets can make an important contribution to the management of disaster risks by providing a source of funding for recovery and reconstruction in the aftermath of a disaster event and therefore reducing the financial burden on households, businesses and governments that would otherwise need to absorb these costs. The global reinsurance market, both traditional and alternative, provides an additional source of capital to mitigate these financial impacts, diversifying the risk away from the domestic economy and enhancing the capacity of primary insurers to provide affordable insurance cover for catastrophe risks. The Contribution of Reinsurance to Managing Catastrophe Risk makes use of a unique set of data on premiums and claims provided by global reinsurance companies to empirically examine the contribution that reinsurance has made to enhancing the capacity of the primary insurance market to manage catastrophe risk and reducing the economic and insurance market disruption that often follows catastrophic events. It examines the regulatory and supervisory measures that have been applied to risk transfer to reinsurance markets in the largest non-life insurance markets and the impact that these measures have had on the use of reinsurance and the ability of primary insurance markets to leverage the benefits of risk transfer to reinsurance markets.

  • Alternative Capital and Its Impact on Insurance and Reinsurance
    ALTERNATIVE CAPITAL AND ITS IMPACT ON INSURANCE AND REINSURANCE MARKETS MARCH 2015 Robert P. Hartwig, Ph.D., CPCU President and Economist (212) 346-5520 [email protected] James Lynch, FCAS, MAAA Chief Actuary and Director of Information Services (212) 346-5533 [email protected] Insurance Information Institute 110 William Street New York, NY 10038 212.346.5500 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The amount of capital used to support reinsurance1 worldwide has been growing quickly. Most of the growth continues to come from reinsurer and insurer profits, but significant new capital is pouring in from sources that barely existed 15 to 20 years ago. While these alternative capital arrangements have little impact on the typical policyholder, they have significantly affected the way reinsurance is being written worldwide. Alternative reinsurance capital is characterized by two twists on the traditional reinsurance arrangement. First, a new breed of investor is seeking out the reinsurance market—hedge funds, sovereign wealth funds, pensions and mutual funds. Second, the deals are structured differently. The new arrangements— catastrophe bonds, collateralized reinsurance and reinsurance sidecars—tend to isolate the investment from the rest of the capital supporting a reinsurer, thereby allowing the capital to enter and exit the market quickly. Alternative capital constituted 12 percent of the global reinsurance market at third- quarter 2014, more than double its market share at the end of 2010 (Figure 1).2 Aon Benfield Analytics estimates that alternative capital has tripled since 2008, growing considerably faster than traditional reinsurance capital. Growth in alternative capital is 15 percent of the overall growth of reinsurer capital in the same time period.3 (Figure 2) According to Aon, alternative capital had grown almost 25 percent from the end of 2013, and as of the third quarter 2014 stood at $61.9 billion.
