Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Marsh Re’s Duffy: Reinsurance Buyers Explore Broader Coverage, Capital Solutions
Q: Where do you see the biggest growth opportunities for carriers to partner with capital markets and reinsurance pools over the next 12-18 months?
Portfolio solutions like whole-account quota shares and the London Bridge facility ecosystem are central, with an ecosystem of investors and synergies across seed re-syndicates and delegated authorities creating the most innovation and activity.
Marsh Re’s Duffy: Reinsurance Buyers Explore Broader Coverage, Capital Solutions
Q: How are global clients deploying risk capital effectively through MGA and MGU partnerships, and what role do delegated underwriters play in this ecosystem?
MGA/MGU partnerships are growing as a way to access niche markets and distribution, with delegated underwriters adding efficiency and scale; this channel is increasingly important as growth becomes harder and technology accelerates execution.
Marsh Re’s Duffy: Reinsurance Buyers Explore Broader Coverage, Capital Solutions
Q: Turning to your clients, what primary shifts are you seeing and how major insurance groups are managing retention, earnings volatility, and capital allocation?
Insurers are retaining more risk than before, maintaining relatively stable program structures, while seeking earnings protection through reinsurance; clients are exploring a broader set of capital solutions and leveraging the full Marsh platform to optimize pricing and capital deployment.
Leadenhall’s Albertini: Strategic Capital Shapes ILS Market
Q: How is Leadenhall leveraging platforms like Nectaris Re to optimize capital efficiency and seeding relationships?
Nectaris Re reduces transaction costs, improves liquidity management, and lessens collateral trapping, while Leadenhall also uses the MS Amblin group balance sheets to enhance product leverage and tail risk protection, yielding a more integrated offering.
Leadenhall’s Albertini: Strategic Capital Shapes ILS Market
Q: Do you expect liquid cap bonds to continue outpacing private ILS, or do you anticipate a resurgence in private collateralized re-insurance placements?
We're seeing renewed interest in private collateralized placements because some investors cannot invest in private ILS due to portfolio constraints, so cap bonds have grown while private ILS remains attractive for certain risk-return profiles.
