Our latest video features the fourth panel discussion of the day at Artemis London 2025, a session focused on the modernisation and liquidity needs of the ILS market as it grows, from our fourth catastrophe bond and insurance-linked securities (ILS) conference in the City of London, UK, held on September 2nd 2025.
More than 220 attendees joined our Artemis London 2025 conference to hear insightful talks and benefit from valuable networking, with over 120 organisations represented across a mix of ILS industry participants, insurance and reinsurance specialists, institutional end-investors and those considering allocating to the asset class, entities looking for efficient risk transfer, and service providers to the sector.
The panel, titled “Modernisation and liquidity needs of a growing ILS market”, was moderated by Jack Stone, Chief Executive Officer, Caterina Technologies, Inc.
He was joined by: Florian Steiger, CEO, Icosa Investments AG; Martin Dietz, Head of Diversified Strategies, Legal & General Investment Management; Simon Harris, Managing Director, Moody’s Corporation; and Sina Thieme, Senior Director, Insurance Consulting and Technology, WTW.
With the discussion focused on the modernisation and liquidity needs of the growing ILS market, our expert panellists called for more standardised data and the use of technology to automate manual processes and improve investment decisions.
The challenge of integrating ILS investments into standard fixed income investment processes was also highlighted, due to the differences seen between most asset classes and in cat bond and other ILS processes and structures.
The importance of transparency and robust exposure information for better secondary market trading decisions, as well as the availability of granular information was also discussed and highlighted as important.
The panel also debated the potential benefits of artificial intelligence in improving market processes, as well as the role of ratings in attracting broader investor bases. The consensus was that standardisation and transparency are crucial for continued and perhaps accelerating cat bond and ILS market growth and efficiency.
