Mt. Logan Capital Management, Ltd. (MLCM), the Everest Group owned and operated third-party capital management platform, has been expanding and diversifying its offering. CEO John Modin explained to us in an interview that the focus remains on ensuring alignment and delivering capital efficiency.

As the ILS market expands its reach across casualty, specialty, and cyber, maintaining price adequacy remains a critical boundary for market growth. Speaking with Artemis at the 2026 Monte Carlo Rendez-Vous, Kathleen Faries, CEO of Artex Capital Solutions, outlined her expectations for emerging perils and evolving deal structures heading towards 2027, emphasising that rates must […]

Swiss Re is seeing broader and more engaged interest in catastrophe bonds and insurance-linked securities from institutional investors, with this increasing even faster than the substantial issuance growth seen in recent years, according to Mariagiovanna Guatteri, CIO, Swiss Re Insurance-Linked Strategies Inc.

While broader insurance and reinsurance market dynamics mean we haven’t seen any 144A cyber catastrophe bonds in 2026 so far, there is no shortage of investor appetite for cyber insurance-linked securities (ILS), and industry-loss warranty (ILW) transactions are still being seen, according to Brittany Baker, VP of Solution Consulting, CyberCube.

As both catastrophe bonds and private reinsurance continue to gain momentum, institutional investors should not be viewing the two as competing asset classes, as their respective strengths are complementary to each other, which ultimately allows investors to build more diversified catastrophe risk portfolios, LGT ILS Partners’ Christian Bruns told Artemis in an interview.

An influx of capital inflows and low catastrophe losses are likely to pressure rates at the upcoming January renewals, which leads Twelve Securis’ Cahal Doris to note that structural integrity will remain a key focus for the insurance-linked securities (ILS) market during the key season.

As institutional investors seek resilient entry points into the re/insurance market, traditional collateralized ILS structures face ongoing challenges surrounding trapped capital and stacked fees. However, investment advisor Resolute Global Partners is presenting an alternative approach by integrating property treaty reinsurance, niche specialty risks, and primary U.S. insurance within a unified, vertically integrated platform.
