The insurance-linked securities market is gaining positive momentum, as pricing begins to respond to the losses of the last two years. We continue to see innovation in the structure in which risk is converted to investible form, as well as an effort to offer more risks and ILS structures reflecting the diversity in investors and in risk transfer needs.

The 8th annual Insurance Linked Securities for Institutional Investors report by pension plan managers, trustees, asset and investment managers, fund of funds and their consultants examine the evolving market and future of ILS. The report will also explore what’s next for climate change, choosing the right provider and insurance-linked securities as a sustainable investment strategy.
