Trends and Opportunities in (Re)insurance

In this episode of Critical Thinking, David Morrow, Global Insurance Proposition Leader at Mercer, is joined by Laurent Rousseau, CEO for EMEA and Global Capital Solutions at Guy Carpenter, and Eryn Bacewich, Head of Insurance Solutions within Mercer’s insurance investment practice, to discuss the evolving role of alternative capital in the reinsurance market.

Together, they consider the development of risk transfer, from the emergence of Bermuda as a reinsurance hub after Hurricane Andrew, to the growth of catastrophe bonds, sidecars and collateralised reinsurance. The conversation also highlights why investors are seeking exposure to insurance risk, how higher interest rates have renewed focus on insurance float, and what the convergence of financial and reinsurance capital could mean for insurers, reinsurers and institutional investors.
