• 187: Catastrophe Bond and ILS Market Conditions at Mid-Year 2025 - Artemis Live webinar
    Jul 16 2025
    This is a recording of our "Catastrophe Bond and ILS Market Conditions at Mid-Year 2025" live webinar that was held on June 17th 2025 and featured catastrophe bond and insurance-linked security (ILS) industry experts that joined us to discuss the state of the market around the middle of the year.

    While our expert speakers explored the fact the ILS market has become a foundational component for many reinsurance and retrocession buyers, occupying an increasingly large share of some towers, they also highlighted an expectation that growth of the asset class continues.

    This Artemis Live webinar was moderated by Steve Evans and featured participants: Paul Schultz, Vice Chairman, Aon Reinsurance Solutions; Jennifer Montero, Chief Financial Officer, Citizens Property Insurance Corporation; Stephen Velotti, CEO and CIO, Pillar Capital Management; and Michael Alfano, Vice President, Business Development Officer, Computershare Corporate Trust.

    Our speakers discussed the state of the market around the mid-year renewals, how investors have responded to the robust levels of catastrophe bond issuance activity in 2025, the ability of the market to continue meeting sponsor needs, as well as the outlook for the rest of the year.

    Listen to the full podcast episode to gain insights into what matters at the mid-year point of 2025 for the catastrophe bond, insurance-linked securities (ILS) and reinsurance capital market.
