A stellar line-up of reinsurance industry experts attracted 350+ attendees to The Insurer’s 2024 Pre-Monte Carlo Forum held at Lime St yesterday morning ahead of Sunday’s Rendez-vous de Septembre. Read our full coverage of the conference here https://bit.ly/3Mxo1w4 and stay tuned for further updates from the kick-off event of the season. David Howden opened up the day with a vibrant keynote that posed valuable questions about reinsurers maintaining relevancy in the market today and what opportunities lie ahead in the space, touching on cat loss, capacity and consumer prioritisation as well as roles within global transformation and moves towards a low carbon economy. Howden was then followed by ARK SYNDICATE MANAGEMENT LIMITED’s Ian Beaton, who reinforced the importance of underwriters maintaining discipline when it comes to pricing, maintaining an urge on avoiding complacency and over-optimism. Arch Capital Group Ltd.'s Maamoun Rajeh then went on to highlight his concerns about casualty exposures not being adequately reserved for and touched on the upcoming renewal season being the ‘most nuanced’ in a very long time. The forum then heard from Lloyd's Rachel Turk, who’s main message was surrounding Lloyd’s forecasted ability to improve reinsurance market share as it’s focus on syndicate performance management has created opportunity for growth. Aspens Services Ltd Mark Cloutier followed with about the importance of pushing towards further innovation in the sector and changes in culture and reinforced that if we “don't use this collaborative power that we have as a sector, there's a significant waste of opportunity and we'll just continue this endless cycle.” The final keynote from The Fidelis Partnership’ Charles Mathias, emphasised Fidelis’ role as a full service system and the impact vs opportunity created by climate change, using the shift of business from the admitted market to the E&S market in the US as an example of how different sectors are quicker to respond to cat events than others. Speakers came together to form what was a sharp, punchy panel session, where the group agreed that the main takeaways from the day were innovation, collaboration and thinking creatively and “ambitiously” about where and how insurance can be used. Stay ahead of the game at this year’s RVS with our coverage from the Forum here https://bit.ly/3Mxo1w4 Themes of innovation and abstract-thinking from yesterday tied in especially well with the launch of Parametric Insurer, the latest vertical addition to The Insurer’s product suite.

The Insurer reposted this
Yesterday I popped over to the iconic Willis building to talk reinsurance at The Insurer’s pre-Monte Carlo annual get together. I was fortunate to share a stage with some really distinguished reinsurance experts and, despite being outnumbered five-to-one (as the only broker on the panel), they made me feel pretty welcome. And while some members of our panel were more glass half empty than half full, there was actually a remarkable degree of positivity in the room. The point I made in my speech was that we must continue to do more to bring capacity to the market, cover systemic risks and help the consumer at the sharp end. We also have a duty to support areas of global transformation such as the great shift to a low carbon economy. There’s huge opportunity here and reinsurers have it in their gift to be the great enablers. There were two themes that rang out loud and clear across the auditorium. First off, the importance of innovation. Another of my fellow panellists pointed out we’ve got lots of tools in our toolbox. So let’s use them! Products like parametrics insurance are already improving thousands of lives. And secondly, collaboration. Competition is good. But collaboration is better. And when insurers, reinsurers, brokers and government get together real progress is made. We saw that collaborative spirit in action yesterday. It certainly bodes well as we pack our bags and head for sunnier climes on the French Riviera. #MonteCarlo #reinsurance #ParametricsInsurance
