Monte Carlo #72: Rob Newbold - The Industry Should Be Ready for a $170B+ Cat Year (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Sub-$50bn of first-half cat losses, no hurricanes last year, none so far this year, and rates heading south. Verisk's Rob Newbold boards the TRP yacht at Monte Carlo RVS to explain why reinsurance should still be braced for $171bn of insured catastrophe loss in an average year. Then he gets into what AI is actually doing to cat modelling, from globally correlated models to agents that talk to each other so humans can get on with deciding. WHAT YOU'LL LEARN: Why Verisk puts modelled global insure
Monte Carlo #71 - Kate Tongue & Robert Flach: Investors Are Arriving Late to Lloyd’s (opens the original)
Read excerpt
New capital is still queuing up for Lloyd's, but Argenta's Kate Tongue and Robert Flach reckon the smart money is taking its time. On board the Supercede yacht at Monte Carlo RVS, they explain three things: why investors tend to show up a year too late, why a diversified Lloyd's portfolio can rival ILS returns with less risk, and why capital cares less about a syndicate's AI than about who's parameterising it. WHAT YOU'LL LEARN: Why new capital providers are playing the long game at Lloyd's, sta
Monte Carlo #70 - Carla Moffett & Sam Sweeney: Casualty Isn’t Softening Like Property (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Property is softening at a sprint. Casualty is walking, and keeping one eye on US social inflation. On the TRP yacht at Monte Carlo RVS 2026, Lockton Re's Carla Moffett and Sam Sweeney explain why casualty reinsurance won't follow the rest of the market down, and why the brokers worth hiring now do much more than place the treaty. WHAT YOU'LL LEARN: Why casualty capacity is plentiful but pricing isn't dropping as fast as property How portfolio quota shares covering MGA and delegated books are cr
Monte Carlo #69 - Rachel Turk: More Capital Isn’t Always Better (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Rachel Turk, Chief of Performance and Strategy at Lloyd's, explains why the flood of third-party capital is good news only while there's fresh risk for it to chase, and why institutional money might one day walk for reasons that have nothing to do with the insurance cycle. Plus: data centres that want $20bn of cover but not the bill, and why agentic AI underwriting only works if it explains itself in plain English. WHAT YOU'LL LEARN: Why capital pouring in through London Bridge 2 is healthy righ
Monte Carlo #68 - Cathal Carr: Stop Watching Rate Change (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Two years ago Oak Global didn't exist. It now writes over $900m of income across two Lloyd's syndicates, posted an 84% combined ratio in its first year, and did it all in a reinsurance market that had already peaked. Cathal Carr, Founder & CEO, joins Ben at Monte Carlo RVS to explain why there's no perfect time to launch a reinsurer, only a proposition good enough to outlast the cycle. WHAT YOU'LL LEARN: Why rate adequacy, not rate change, is the number to watch as the reinsurance market softens
