The insurance-linked securities (ILS) market responded well to recent intense pressure from third-quarter catastrophe events, and there’s an opportunity for ILS players to take advantage of premium increases of up to 30% or higher, according to insurance and reinsurance linked investment specialist manager, Twelve Capital.

In a recent research note on the active 2017 hurricane season, Twelve Capital has said that the private ILS market is likely to experience premium increases of between 10% to 30%, dependent on the line of business, with some niche areas of the private ILS sector seeing rates increase even higher.

Rates-on-line for industry loss warranties (ILW’s) have increased by as much as 30% following the third-quarter catastrophe losses suffered by the industry, perhaps giving a glimpse of where retrocessional reinsurance could move at the forthcoming January renewals.

Artemis has analysed data from broker pricing sheets and indicative pricing received from some markets, which suggests that some ILW protection sellers are looking (or hoping) for rate increases in the region of +30% for some of the riskiest ILW contracts, down to +10% for more remote industry loss triggers.

Almost 25 years has passed since hurricane Andrew struck Florida and became the most costly storm to impact the state, but a modern-day repeat of Andrew would be significantly more impactful for insurance, reinsurance and ILS interests, while a near-replica that barreled into Miami could cause an industry loss of up to $180 billion, according to Swiss Re.

Global reinsurance players Swiss Re looked back at the impact of hurricane Andrew almost 25 years on from the storms devastating impact on Florida and the company modelled what a repeat of the hurricane would mean to re/insurers today, as well as what a slight shift in the track would mean for the industry loss.

Back in 1992, when hurricane Andrew struck the Florida coastline near Homestead on the 24th August, the impact was extremely severe. The storm was the fourth most intense hurricane to strike the United States, in terms of central pressure and the Category 5 hurricane caused an economic impact of around $29.5 billion.
