We’ve had another record week of traffic on Artemis as our audience continues to grow. This reflects the heightened interest in the catastrophe bond, insurance linked security and alternative risk/reinsurance sectors. News in the last week saw another cat bond come to market, East Lane Re V Ltd., and one nearly double in size, Mystic Re III Ltd. Artemis will be represented at the SIFMA ILS event in New York next week, so please contact us if you’d like to meet up. Here are the most popular stories of the last seven days on Artemis.
