BI’s Article search uses Boolean search capabilities. If you are not familiar with these principles, here are some quick tips.

To search specifically for more than one word, put the search term in quotation marks. For example, “workers compensation”. This will limit your search to that combination of words.

To search for a combination of terms, use quotations and the & symbol. For example, “hurricane” & “loss”.

ILS share of non-life catastrophe reinsurance market to double by 2017: Report

April 23, 2013 Reprints

The share of insurance-linked securities, catastrophe bonds and collateralized reinsurance sectors in the global non-life catastrophe reinsurance market is set to double by 2017, reports Artemis.bm, citing a report by Clear Path Analysis Ltd.

The current market for non-life catastrophe reinsurance capacity is about $180 billion, of which the ILS and collateralized reinsurance space accounts for around $30 billion, Michael Stahel, partner within the LGT Capital Management AG ILS team, said.

This contribution is expected to reach about $50 billion to $60 billion by 2017 as the ILS sector continues to attract institutional investors who are seeking yields uncorrelated to economic climate.
