Insurance as an Asset Class: The Role of Alternative Capital in Today's Risk Landscape

October 17, 2024
Mandalay Bay Ballroom J
Risk Management Track

The insurance industry is at a critical inflection point. Traditional insurers are pulling out of high-risk markets, leaving a gap in protection just as cyber, climate risks and catastrophic events are intensifying. This panel will explore how Insurance-Linked Securities (ILS) and alternative capital provide a solution by spreading risk across the global economy, creating opportunities for institutional investors to diversify their portfolios. Technology is making these solutions possible by providing advanced modeling tools and easy-to-use trading platforms. 

ILS offers compelling benefits for both insurers and investors. But is this a true "win-win" for the sector? And what do insurers and technology companies need to consider as they adapt to these changes?
