Yesterday, we organized a lunch presentation on insurance-linked strategies (ILS) at the Zunfthaus zur Meisen in the heart of Zurich. Eduard Held, Managing Director of the Elementarschadenpool Switzerland, and Michael Stahel, Partner and ILS Portfolio Manager at LGT Capital Partners, provided insights into the impact of climate change on the (re-)insurance business and discussed the related challenges and opportunities for ILS. The two presentations blended a Swiss and a global perspective. Our key takeaways are: - The (re-)insurance sector is aware of climate change impact and is able to adapt its business model accordingly; including risk mitigation and transfer vis-à-vis the capital markets, e.g. ILS investors. - ILS managers require pricing that takes climate change risk into account and actively reduce frequency covers and exposure to perils with less certainty. LGT Capital Partners therefore focuses primarily on ILS transactions that cover large single natural catastrophe event risks. - By choosing an active and conscious ILS manager, investors can access an alternative source of return that is largely uncorrelated to the financial markets. Many thanks to all who participated. Please reach out to us if you would like to discuss our thoughts around climate change and its impact on ILS, and check out our latest publication and webinar on this topic: https://lnkd.in/dHVizjHH #lgtcapitalpartners #lgtcp #insurancelinkedstrategies #ils #climatechange

The trade publication Artemis asked Christian Bruns, Partner at LGT Capital Partners, for his views on cyber risk. Christian explained that the firm has not so far allocated assets to cyber risk as the risk modelling for these events is still somewhat in its infancy.   According to Christian, cyber cat bonds are structured as excess-of-loss deals, meaning the premium is set for the term of the investment and the return for investors is not linked to the profitability of the underlying exposure.   Find out more here: https://lnkd.in/gFRqKaB7   #lgtcapitalpartners #lgtcp #insurancelinkedstrategies #ils #cyberrisk
