Each Wednesday morning we send out a regular weekly e-mail newsletter, featuring a rundown of the last seven days catastrophe bond, insurance-linked securities (ILS), reinsurance capital and associated risk transfer news from Artemis.

So if you only read one post on Artemis a week you can still keep up with all the news from the catastrophe bond, insurance-linked securities, alternative reinsurance capital and related areas of reinsurance and risk transfer markets.
