For this one of our sponsor showcase video interviews, for the upcoming Artemis ILS NYC 2022 conference (held April 22nd in New York City), we welcomed Lorenzo Volpi, Managing Partner at specialist ILS and reinsurance investment manager Leadenhall Capital Partners, one of our Gold sponsors for the conference.
As ever, we’re looking at the development of the insurance-linked securities (ILS) market with one eye to the future, as is the way with Artemis’ ILS events. You can register for the event online here:

Volpi provided an update on investor trends in the insurance-linked securities (ILS) space, explaining that after a series of catastrophe losses in 2021, investors have become increasingly curious and want to understand how ILS fund managers, like Leadenhall, are applying lessons learned.
In addition, investors are seeking to understand how ILS managers are positioning themselves to take advantage of opportunities in the current reinsurance market environment.
While other key investor trends are, as you might expect, climate change and climate risk, as well as environmental, social and governance (ESG) issues.
"Ultimately investors welcome client-servicing intimacy and an open and transparent dialogue, because the investment long-term benefits should be obvious to everyone and you don't want to surprise them, of course," Volpi said in the interview.
