Niklaus Hilti, Head of insurance-linked securities (ILS) at investment manager Credit Suisse's Insurance Linked Strategies division joined us as part of our ILS NYC 2021 virtual conference.
Niklaus discussed his forward-looking, perhaps blue-sky view of what the insurance-linked securities (ILS) market could become over the next decade.
Catastrophe bonds, collateralized reinsurance and other established ILS instruments such as sidecars and ILW's were discussed.
Niklaus also explained how structures could change in the ILS market in future, what investor appetite may look like, as well as future origination processes to secure access to insurance and reinsurance risks.
