Reinsurance
The period from July 2022 to June 2023 was illustrative of the ILS market’s resilience in the face of both significant catastrophic activity and persistent macroeconomic headwinds. 2023 began with the largest first half issuance volume on record and is further trending towards a record-breaking calendar year. Increased catastrophe bond yields have created an ideal environment for investors to raise capital. Overall, ILS capital reached $100 billion in 2023. Further, client demand remains as strong as ever—the cat bond market continues to see a diverse group of returning and new sponsors, including nine first-time sponsors. Transactions continue to feature broad risk profiles with varying ranges of expected loss, regions of coverage, and perils.

After a difficult Q4 2022, the catastrophe bond market has reassumed its growth trajectory during the first quarter of 2023. Transaction sizes have increased markedly from the second half of 2022, with total deal sizes YTD 67% greater on average than those issued during H2 2022. Further, whilst pricing remains elevated from levels achieved in 2021, it has tightened during the first three months of 2023 from peak levels seen at year-end 2022, a development welcomed by insurers and reinsurers, alike, particularly at a time when pricing in the reinsurance and retrocession markets remain heightened relative to the prior decade.
