Catalists of a Capon Deal

In this episode of the Artemis.bm podcast we review the record year of catastrophe bond issuance that was seen in 2021 and comment on the twenty-five year anniversary of a landmark transaction from late 1996.

We also discuss the important role insurance-linked securities (ILS) play as a form of reinsurance capital structure, with the cat bond increasingly a key source of reinsurance, retrocession and importantly insurance capacity for a growing base of sponsors.

We also summarise the changes we've made to help you track catastrophe bond and ILS market activity more accurately, explaining decisions taken to enhance our charts and data service for you.

Finally, we look ahead to 2022 and discuss some of the potential catalysts that could turn this year into another record-setting one for the catastrophe bond market.
