Augment Risk, the risk capital and reinsurance solutions broking firm, has expanded its Latin American platform by adding specialist weather parametric and structured weather risk transfer capabilities.

With growing capacity demands within AI and other cloud computing services leading towards a surge in data centers, this rapid expansion also presents a clear role for insurance-linked securities (ILS) and the capital markets, according to broker Aon.
